Our first idea was to create a high school drama from a young boy's perspective. It would focus upon a life-changing transformation from 'unpopular nerdy boy' to 'good-looking popular kid'. The nerdy boy aspires to become a model and so he becomes obsessed with the popular model girl of the school, imagining himself in her place; being followed by admirers, featuring in high school photo shoots and generally being noticed and attractive. Over time, this boy would decide to make the change and this would set in motion a massive make-over that would change his life forever and possibly help him reach fulfil his wildest dreams.
We didn't decide upon this idea as our final one due to the cliché feel to it - it's a typical plot for a high school movie, despite the less common male main character. We also brainstormed ways of doing this and locations but we couldn't find the ideal place to film, as we felt our sixth form college didn't have the right look for this - the look of a typical high school - and it would look tacky and out of place.
Final idea:
Our final idea for our title sequence/film reminds me somewhat of Inception, in terms of the protagonist living within his dreams for the majority of the time. He is also able to read minds and this gives the film a mysterious feel to it and makes it more of a thriller. It is a hybrid - including aspects of both a high school drama (being filmed within a high school and featuring stereotypical social groups) and a youth drama (the protagonist being male and the main focus being dreams, rather than life within a high school).
