The Plot
We came up with some ideas that we wanted to include in our film. These are not specific shots, lines, settings, etc., just ideas of what we want to show.
Beginning:
- main character as a little kid enjoying the sport (practice, smiling, laughing)
- admiring older gymnasts, olympist, and college athletes
- growing up and continuing to improve skill
- start comparing skill to other gymnasts
Middle:
- starting to not be able to do a skill
- practice outside of gym
- watching others out of anger not enjoyment
- not wanting to go to practice
- struggle to stay positive
- self-deprivation
End:
- giving up on dreams
- parents notice and try to help
- quit to relieve stress
We wanted out film to have a message and a meaning. This shows that somethings that are meant to be enjoyable can end up being draining and difficult. Our story is about a gymnast who started at a young age and loved every aspect of the sport. Unfortunately, as she grew older, she created obstacles in her head that stopped her from believing that she was as good as the other gymnasts. This negative mindset takes over and she is put into a difficult position when this starts to impact her everyday life.
We want to show that not everything is perfect, and that despite sports being a fun extracurricular, they can be deteriorating and affect someone's everyday life.
