Opening Plan

 

Though my plot is nowhere near finalized I wanted to run through my main ideas and what I want my opening to feel like.

First, the story opens with piano music playing lightly; each of the keys tapping could be heard. There is going to be a bright light lit onto a stage and the main character, Andi, sitting in front of a piano, everyone is clapping. She hears silence, only faint sounds and distortedness of the audience cheering. Next will be a closeup onto the love interest, Vera, now emotional sitting in the audience after watching Andi play. The film will cut to Andi leaving the venue alone. Birds will be chirping in the background and the sound of her feet scraping against the floor. Vera runs after her and bumps into her by accident making her drop all of her sheet music on the floor. She tries to apologize, but of course, Andi is deaf and does not understand. She quickly signs to her and runs off with scrambled papers. Vera looks off confused and surprised, and looks down to see a forgotten paper with information about a Deaf school. To be continued...

Although Andi is the main character, some parts of the story will follow Vera and her attempt to communicate with Andi by learning ASL and becoming very close with her and her music.
