First Formation of the Film Group

Today is the first day that filming project is introduced by Shona. Varies examples were demonstrated of the possible potentials for this project.

After that, our group was formed by drawing numbers out of a cap. My partners are Kimberly and Melissa. Melissa had to leave early so we quickly exchanged our contact information such as our e-mails and cell-phone numbers.

I am left with Kimberly after Melissa left. Kimberly starts off by asking me if I had any ideas for the film because she is not into the whole tech-savvy things or sci-fi, at least that's what I can remember she told me.

I answer her question with a story I remember reading from a visual novel I read nearly 3 years ago. The visual novel is called "Resonance."

The summary of the story that I told Kimberly is from what I can remember of the main plots.

The setting is during the summer somewhere in Japan.

A high school girl was late to class so she rushes to school putting her cell-phone along with a juice box in her book bag. As the girl rushes to school she crashed into a boy who was also late for school. The collision causes the juice box to squish and splat breaking the girl's cell-phone. The boy apologizes but the girl yells at him for how he is going to pay back for her cell-phone, but the boy just continue rushing to school. After school is over, the girl is depress about her broken cell-phone. As she walk home, her cell-phone receive an incoming call. The girl answers her cell-phone which reveals a girl and later the sister of that girl. Since it gets confusing here without labeling the characters, lets call the first girl Jill, the second girl Alice, and the sister of the second girl Lily. And to fast forward the story, the girls becomes best of friends after many days of summer and eventually wanted to meet up since they live in the same place and probably gone to different schools. They decide to meet up at the train station at lets say 11 am. When Jill arrive at the meeting location at 11 am, she did not see Alice or Lily (Jill knows what Alice and Lily looks like because the cell-phone was a video-phone). Jill calls Alice, asking her if she and her sister is here yet. Alice told Jill that they are here at the station below the clock. Jill is below the clock of the station but she still did not see Alice or Lily. It is then that they realize that they were at the right place but in a different world or parallel world so they can never physically meet up with each other. They are depress about this fact but there is nothing they can do about it. Instead, they try to hang out with each other through the cell-phone as long as they can till the next day (which was near the end of summer). Jill tries to contact Alice and Lily, but the cell-phone did nothing. Next day, cell-phone still did nothing. When it was the start of the autumn classes, Jill felt that the experience she had with Alice and Lily was like a dream. When Jill walks to school, she meet the same boy she crashed into at the beginning. At first the boy was startled to see her, afraid that she is still mad at him about breaking her cell-phone. But Jill did not yell at him, instead, she thank him. The boy and Jill became friends after that. The End.

Kimberly likes the story and I like it too. So this is a potential story that I believe we can work with. I just have to e-mail Melissa about it and see what she thinks.
