 After carefully considering two potential short film ideas, our group decided to pursue an action-packed story about a boy who dreams of becoming a professional racer. The narrative follows his journey from a young gamer obsessed with racing video games to a skilled adult competing in real-life races. This story highlights themes of perseverance, personal growth, and the power of chasing one’s dreams. We want to showcase his passion for speed and competition while emphasizing the time and effort it takes to turn a dream into reality. The second idea we considered was a heartfelt coming-of-age drama centered on a group of high school seniors navigating personal challenges and forming unexpected friendships as they prepare for graduation. This story would explore themes of self-discovery, resilience, and the power of connection. It would include moments of humor, emotional breakthroughs, and relatable struggles, making it a touching and universal tale. While the coming-of-age drama offered great potential, we were more drawn to the energy and excitement of the action story. The boy’s journey from video games to real racing provides opportunities for intense visuals and a dynamic narrative. The theme of time passing allows us to explore his growth over the years, showing how hard work and dedication shape his path to success. Each race serves as a milestone, showcasing his development and determination to overcome challenges. The action story also lets us experiment with creative techniques, such as fast-paced editing, sound effects, and transitions between his gaming days and professional racing career. The intensity of the action genre offers the chance to engage viewers emotionally while keeping them on the edge of their seats. Racing sequences provide high-energy visuals, while quieter moments highlight the emotional stakes of pursuing a lifelong dream. Ultimately, we chose the action story because it combines thrilling racing scenes with a powerful and inspiring narrative. The concept allows us to focus on a character-driven story, balancing adrenaline with heartfelt moments of growth. While the coming-of-age drama would have been relatable and touching, the action genre feels more exciting and creatively challenging. This decision reflects our passion for crafting a visually dynamic and emotionally impactful film. The protagonist’s journey offers a universal message about perseverance and the rewards of following one’s dreams. With this project, we aim to create a short film that resonates with audiences while delivering an unforgettable cinematic experience. By focusing on the action genre and the theme of time passing, we believe we can tell a story that is both thrilling and inspiring, making it a journey worth watching.
