While she’s home watching tv, a lifestyle commercial comes on tv. She gets inspired by it and decides to work on changing her habits. She starts seeing her friends again, spending more time outdoors, and realizes how important those things were to her.

    Hey Mercedes,

    A girls quarantine journey

    This is a good story, a lot of people can relate to this. I like Jessica soon then adjusts herself back into the habit she used to be on before the whole pandemic. Think of ways you can show throughout the story how she became unhealthy and how she started being somebody completely different. And do the same when she starts breaking those bad habits.

    Very funny and good ending to the story, it’s something no one wants to experience but luckily at the end everything worked out. Showing how Maria panics or reacts will definitely be something you have to do for this, expressing the stress will make the story feel like there’s no way Maria can get out of this one, until her roommate comes to the rescue.

    This is a dream for many so I already like the idea, I like how Jade wants to move to NYC because of the movies she’s seen. In the story maybe add to that, like what movies did she watch? Is she into acting or just watching movies in general? And add to her experience too, what did she go see? Where in NYC did they go explore?

    Hello Mercedes,

    Idea 1
    I believe this idea could work really well as it’s a story that is relevant to today. A lot of us are trying to return to some sense of normalcy after the pandemic. What sort of tone are you going to give the video? Will it take place in just one location or will we see multiple locations throughout the film? How many characters will we end up seeing in the finished film? Will this film have dialogue or will it be without dialogue? This idea has promise behind it.

    Idea 2
    This sounds like it could be a funny video. What kind of tone/mood are you going for with this film? Will it be shot in multiple locations or just one? Do you have the props to make this film work? I would be excited to see this film and how it turns out if you decide to do it.

    Idea 3
    This sounds like a good idea. Seems like there are a lot of factors that would go into the execution of this project. Since you mentioned both Florida and New York, does that mean the film will be taking place in both states? If not, how can you use your surroundings to give the viewer the illusion that the story takes place in Florida? Once the two characters get to New York, what other places will they go to? Will they visit some famous landmarks or will it be more of a set of locations within New York City? I’d like to see how this film plays out if you’re willing to go through with this idea.
