PROJECT IDEA

 SUMMARIZING MY SHORT-FILM IDEA 

Hello Cambridge people! For my group project I decided to work in a group of 4 people, me and 3 other fantastic girls. We have worked in past group projects before so it is really easy for us to understand and complement each other. We shared our ideas and got to one idea of what our project can be even though we are always open to add, quit or change whatever we want in order to make our project so much better.

We wanted to do a coming-of-age/horror short film where a teenager girl just turned 21 and she was going to the beach with her friends in order to celebrate her birthday. She invited her best friends and other friends knew about her party at the beach so they also went although they were not invited. The first scene that we are going to film is the girl in the car with other friends on their way to the beach singing and enjoying the time while they were getting there. 

When they get to the beach they start to play music very loud and more people gets there to celebrate with her. The amount of alcohol that was there was a lot, and as it was her birthday she was the one drinking the most until the point that we was unconscious and was just laying on the sand in front of everyone. 

She was convinced that she was going to be fine and safe because she was around her friends, but unfortunately she was wrong. When the girl was laying on the sand, one of her best friends took a picture of her completely drunk and posts it on Instagram where everyone could have access to it and everyone started making fun of her on social media and reposting the picture.

It got to the point that the picture was sent to the girl’s parents and they called the police because they knew that her best friends were still minors and they weren’t legally allowed to drink alcohol. The short film ends in the beach where all the teenagers are worried to get in trouble, the girl is still unconscious laying on the sand and the parents on their way to pick up her daughter and wait for the police to get there.

That’s basically the idea we have of the plot and the start of the short film. We think it could be interesting and also could make the viewer wish to watch more of it.
