Hellooooo and welcome back!!
Now that you’ve read all of my boring blogs about CoA films and why makes them a part of the CoA genre (go check them out if you haven’t already). I’m now gonna be telling you guys about my top secret never seen before ideas (I’ve been telling everybody about it for the past 2 weeks).
So to give you a sort of baseline to understanding my idea a great reference is the TV show Boo Bitch. I believe it’s on Netflix, but basically the show is about two best friends that get into an accident with a moose. The moose crushes one of the girls, killing them, well one of them. (SPOILER WARNING!!) But the kicker is that Erika’s best friend, Gia lies and tells Erika that she’s the ghost so that she seizes her highschool opportunities and lives her life to the fullest without any fears.
The show is very much CoA and shows how Erika grows from a timid girl, to a bit of a b*tch, to a mature young woman. This show was very entertaining in my opinion and wasn’t too bad in terms of unrealistic teen representations (A.K.A bad teenage dialogue). Ok it was pretty cringey at some points but the plot was good. And the plot twist shocked me and was a really good spin on the story.
Anywho, this is kind of where I drew my inspiration from as my idea is pretty similar. Drumroll pleaseee!!!
My idea for the two minute film opening is to have two girls going into or in their sophomore year of highschool. For now we'll call them Gal and Mal as their real names are TBD. Gal and Mal are bestfriends and always meet at this park with a merry go round. They always talk and give each other advice and really rely on each other when it comes to their social life and teenage problems.
One night after they're done talking, Gal's phone rings and it's her mom calling her away. She asks if Mal will be ok getting home by herself and Mal says yes. The two girls split up to go home and as she's leaving Mal gets hit by a car (morbid I know but just bear with me). The scene than cuts to Mal's funeral and Gal is extremely sad since she just lost her best friend. To cope with the fact her friend is gone Gal goes back to the park and sits by their spot (A.K.A the merry go round). She sits there for a bit with her head in her hands as she starts to cry. Gal than hears a voice "Stop crying i'm here", or something along those lines. Its Mal's voice.
Basically to sum this up in short if you still don't get what i'm saying two bffs hangout, one dies in an accident, the surviving one is sad until she realizes her dead bff has come back to life as a ghost.
Originally, I wanted to add some dialogue or something to suggest that Mal has unfinished business to help Gal through highschool before she disappears. But unfortunately it's only two minutes and this is just the opening so this is all we're getting (sorry people :( ).
