Setting

Clearly, based off our film's topic, a lot of our film is going to be shot at a gym.

Gyms are usually very bright and gives off a lot of positive energy. This is good for the beginning of our film, as the girl is going to be radiating that energy. As time goes on, these colors are not going to reflect our character. We had an idea on how to mirror this change in tone... stayed tuned for that post.

We plan to begin the film at the gym, showing the character striving in the sport as a young child. It shows her happy and confident in the gym, highlighting the hope for her that this will continue to be a true passion for her. We want to show her continuing to grow up in this gym, by using girls of different ages (all acting as one girl), and the progression of frustration as this confident begins to decrease. I think that it is important to use the gym in a majority of the scenes as a reminder as to what is causing this stress. 

We also plan to have some shots be taken place at the character home. This will highlight the self-reflection and the hole that the girl has fallen into. Being alone allows her to think about her performance and show her desire to be as good as the others around her. I think including her being alone at the gym while watching the other girls can also show this reflection.
