While going through ideas and generating a storyboard, many ideas that were planned throughout the days of making the project was ultimately turned down. So we decided to introduce the characters for the film opening as two teens with different emotional characteristics. We plan on showing this with dialogue and the way they interact with their surroundings.
In one of my previous posts, I made an outline that showed two kids cleaning up after a party they had thrown in one of their houses. An Idea came to mind which included the character who lived in the house had a little brother who went missing. Even though this can generate a sense of mystery to where the kid is, we don't want to confuse the audience regarding what type of genre our film is.
Being a dramedy, we want to ensure the audience depicts what makes the film both comedy and drama. Because of this, including a missing child would develop a sense of adventure for the audience which isn't what we want. Also, it came to mind that this kid who was missing left the house sleepwalking. This also would not generate a sense of teen dramedy for it highly represents a comedy film which wouldn't make the film a dramedy.
