Film Opening Outline

I've spent more time pondering the opening of the film, now that I've established the general plot, so I've come up with an outline for the 2-minute introduction:

• The girl comes home from school and goes to her bedroom to lay down.
• Either she'll be greeted by a family member but ignore him/ her, or it will be shown in some way that her family/ environment is dysfunctional.
• In her room, she puts on some rap music and begins to write down her thoughts and feelings in a journal.
• I might have a family member walk into the room and have the girl switch or turn off the music to depict that this music is her escape and people don't know about it.
• After journalling, she reads back what she wrote. At the same time, there is an instrumental playing of the music she's listening to, providing her with a steady beat.
• She turns her writing into a rap, beginning her production of music that will later grow in popularity.

This is the opening in its earliest form, so obviously it is subject to change and furthering developing, but it is a good starting point for now. I have to work on establishing her home-life, figuring out what she'd be writing about, selecting the specific beat/ music to use, and, of course, writing the actual rap that she writes. I also need to figure out how I want her to look/ dress and her reason for keeping listening to rap a secret.
