The main character in our opening is going to be an athlete who comes from a white collar family in a suburban neighborhood. This character is something that hasn't really been seen in a sports movie before since our character is from a successful family and doesn't need athletics in order to improve the quality of life for the family. Most sports movies have a character from an urban area, so we wanted to try something different.
We are not sure whether we want the character to be both a boy or a girl, but I think at the moment either would work just fine.
I created a mood board to illustrate the concepts of our character.
The items in this board are able to illustrate the athletic side of things by including a Nike bag that players use before their game, cleats, a Gatorade bottle, and a soccer ball. The inclusion of the Lexus is his parents car. The car is very nice and illustrates that his parents are doing well financially. Our character having a nice iPhone, which was included on the mood part, also helps to illustrate the point that the character comes from a middle-upper class background. Finally we included the school books on the mood board because even though our character does play a sport and take it seriously, academics are also very important as well. However, sports does make it difficult sometimes to balance both so our character doesn't do as well in school as the parents would like him to do.
