Character

Character Name: Berkley Morgan or Berkley Summers

We are currently researching our main character. Her first name will be Berkley and we are in between last names Morgan or Summers. She is 16 years old, the film opening will showcase her turning 16. She is a female and is pretty well known in school, she isn't popular but has a good amount of friends. Her favorite color is pink and she is a dancer. She currently does ballet and contemporary dance. She normally has a really well rounded family dynamic, but due to her parents' stress of the up and coming pandemic, she doesn't really get acknowledged at home. She expects her parents to celebrate her birthday with her, but they are unfortunately too stressed about the ongoing situation and don't celebrate with her. She is the very cliche girl, but challenges the family dynamic that is normally represented in girly-girl early 2000's films, she is also hispanic. 

We also came up with an idea of creating the first 30 seconds or so of the clip being animated, to represent her happy nature, then when her alarm to wake her up rings- it turns back to real life. Showcasing her bubble of happiness bursting. This is doable as we can record the clip and then just go over the clip with an animation and drawing tool on procreate.
