Outlining

        We've been developing our plot, and came up with an idea. It's not officially our storyline yet, but here's what we've got:

        It starts out with a a high school athlete getting injured during practice. He is in the car on the way home, listening to a radio broadcast. The broadcast is speaking about an athlete that got injured, and continues until the kid gets home. He gets out of the car, and walks into his house. The kid gets something to eat, and goes to the T.V. When he turns the T.V. on, the cable is on a sports channel, and is speaking about the same thing as the radio broadcast. The sportscasters talk about how successful the athlete has been, speaking of the awards and scholarship offers he's gotten from colleges. The camera shifts to show the focus on some of the medals, trophies, and scholarship offers sitting nearby the kid as the broadcasters are speaking. At the end of it all, as the broadcasters speak of the issue and the odds of being able to come back from such an injury, the camera shows the injury that the kid has on his leg. The broadcasters ask "Will he bounce back?" as the film opening ends.

        This is the first outline that Hayden and I have come up with right now, and we aren't sure if it is the last. We're going over the potential issues as of now, and whether or not it interferes with our target time of 2 minutes. If we feel that it needs to be changed, a new post later on will illustrate that.

        We also have a brainstorming sheet with our outline ideas written down. Once the outline is finalized, I'll be posting that too.
