At first I had no clue what my opening was going to be about. I asked my teacher, she reminded me of my love for video games, I knew then I want to do something with gaming. I tried researching popular western film about gaming but it was no help. As cool as the concept of being trapped in a video game is, its overused in my opinion. Instead, I looked East, or west.. whatever I look towards Asia, where gaming has a popular following and where it is represented differently. Instead of films like Jumanji, we receive shows of professional E-sports players, representing the lives of real players but with a written plot. With this, I found Falling into your Smile(2021), Gank your Heart(2019), and Go Go Squid!(2019).
After deciding my concept, genre, and examples, I came up with a rough draft of the plot of the opening. I wanted to point out the struggles of women in a male-dominated community, thus my main character is a girl who really enjoys video games. When she started playing, she caught a lot of attention, bad attention, because she was a girl. She decided to hide her voice and face from the internet, letting her skills speak for her. That was until she accidentally left her mic on while she was streaming; her fans had found out.
With this information, I created a google doc to keep track of my idea and how I'll achieve it.
