let's talk about the characters

Since we are only supposed to do the film opening and not an entire film, we had to be careful what characters we want to show. We also have to be careful because we can't reveal too much in just the opening. 

Lana(main character):

Since this is our main character she has to be a female (cause it's about a girl coming out of the closet duh), and we want her to be very feminine. She likes to wear makeup and wear clothes that are in style. She cares a lot about how she looks and it may be cause she is a little insecure.

Jackie from "That 70's Show"

Chris & Amy

When we wanted to find names for Lana's parents, we were extra enough to search up popular girl and guy names in the 70's. These were two of the many names. In the film opening, Chris and Amy play a small role that helps in developing Lana's character. 

Harmony( the "best friend")

Harmony is Lana's best friend who she secretly has feelings for. Although it is not a secret to them two, it is a secret for society because in this time period being homosexual was not as common as it is today. Harmony also plays a big role in this film opening even though she is not the main character.

Billy (the "perfect" guy according to everyone) 

Billy is not that relevant to the overall film but he plays a big role in developing the plot of the film and assuring the audience that the film is what they think it is about. After the bedroom scene when Lana makes a face when her parents tell her to invite Harmony over, the audience already gets the idea because of the way Lana is acting along with the room decoration and other factors. Billy comes in the next scene when he wants to ask Lana to study with him but with some good angles and editing techniques, it is clear that Lana is too busy thinking about Harmony. Also, we want to have to extras in the back giggling and trying to get Billy;s attention to show that he is a guy that every girl wants but Lana is still not giving him attention.
