I need to think about the purpose of my film. I know that this is something I will probably be asked, and I need to be able to tell people more than, 'I want to make a pretty film.'
After much deliberation, I think that I want to make a film that displays the difference between the present day and the past in which the mythology was a major part of peoples lives. I want to try and show how much this mythology used to effect people, but in today’s world, barely anyone knows about it.
After giving my film a lot of thought, I think I have decided on my film story.
The film starts with a scene of a house. It is snowing outside, and in the window you can see the silhouettes of a woman and child arguing. The child walks out of view and we cut to her stomping into her bedroom and slamming the door. She is upset and begins to cry. It is then that a blue orb comes through the open window and she begins to play with it. Shortly after, a dog jumps into the room, and snatches the orb from her. She watches from her window as the dog runs away, and immediately sets out to follow them. She chases them over hills and valleys, slowly entering a world that is not her own, a mythological world. Eventually they come to a pair of gates, and the dog passes through easily, but the girl cannot go through, no matter how hard she tries.
This is all I have so far! I haven't been able to decide on an ending yet, but I’m working on it!
