Step 2: The Idea/Concept

I haven't clearly explained what the plot of the adventure film will be- but that's because I wasn't quite sure myself. Luckily today I went out to lunch with two of my friends and they helped me develop and through concept for the film. It is slightly dystopian which is not the direction I intended to go in but I'm happy with the result. It is going to sound slightly ridiculous but the best ideas can sometimes sound quite crazy.

Like mentioned in my Adventure Awaits post, I want to make a film featuring a strong female lead which will still appeal to both sexes in the box office.

Lily is the main character of the story. Despite the fact that the government has tried to brainwash its citizens, Lily poses a threat to them by being curious, incredibly intelligent, and skilled- she's a prodigy. The government caught her hijacking the security system within a government building and attempting to obtain top-secret files. They've exiled her from her home and into the wilderness, however, they have not realized she's stole an artifact(that is in the shape of a rock) that is encrypted with vital information that can be revealed when inputed in to a special hardrive when she was being escorted out.

Initially, Lily doesn't know what this crystal does along with the audience other than it must be of high importance given that it was locked away with the files. She knows she must get away as fast as possible before the government realizes it has gone missing.

She has heard of a rebel group of exiles fighting against the tyrant government in the outskirts of the city and seeks them to find refuge and deliver mysterious item in hopes that it will aid them in the fight. Along the way she encounters the son of a close family friend, Alex, who was injured and also exiled for refusing to work for the governments militia. They make their way to the rebel bases together as their story romantically develops however it is not the main focus of them film.

  1. Hey Sabine! First off, I would like to say that your blog is very good, it looks really nice, and your posts are successful in getting your points across. For me, I felt like you were more inclined to adventure since the beginning, but I'm glad you have decided on your genre. I love your "Lights, Camera...Action!" post, it's one where all the extensive research you've been doing is evident. My only concern is that, reading you're blog, I don't know if you have a clear picture of what you're doing, and I think that's mostly because you haven't talked much about your main character. Maybe you should take the time to make a post about who is Lily -remember that the personality of your character affects her dialogue, make up, costume, expressions. I don't know exactly how you're organizing your time, but it seems like you're a little behind, and if that's the case, I hope you can work around that. Besides that, great job!
