Story Change

 I didn't even realize how soon we would change the idea to our story. While creating the story board, Julia and I realized that it may be difficult to recreate a whole soccer game atmosphere due to casting and resources so we made an adjustment to making it be both our main character, who we named Gabriel, and his friend Gabriel kicking around a soccer ball and having a discussion. This will make it easier to film for us to just have it be these two characters in the beginning. 

We wanted to establish that Gabriel's parents aren't supportive of him, so to symbolize this we are going to have the camera show parents playing soccer with a young boy at the practice field next to them to illustrate this. There wasn't much symbolism planned in our initial idea, but having this is definitely a start to adding a deeper meaning to our shots. 

Another creative idea that we came up with was instead of having it end with Gabriel receiving a phone call from a college coach and the mom tells him to the mom not telling him. Gabriel's mom will pick up the phone and then lie to the college coach and say that Gabriel is unavailable or isn't interested in pursing soccer at this time. This will be a better way to add suspense and future development to the rest of the movie because the audience would wonder how Gabriel would be able to pursue this dream.
