The Mission: We chose to accept it (although we really didn’t have a choice).

The day finally arrived. We were starting our second film project of the school year. This round, however, would be different than last. 

Last time, we had to produce an original story related to Chess, and it had to be a full story. The difficult part? We had to produce an original story, that could only be exactly one minute long.

Unlike last time, we have a bit more creative freedom. The ‘chess’ concept is no longer a requirement, and we have twice as much time. And instead of producing a full story, we have to think up the beginning of one.

Usually, movies start with a sequence that establishes part of the plot of the film. After a few minutes, the title and credits play before diving into the rest of the movie. 

Our mission is to produce our own first two minutes of what could be a full production. Our two minutes don’t need all three components of a full story, however. We only need a beginning, unless we plan to start our movie in the middle of events.

This is going to be interesting to produce. We do have more creative freedom, however, with more freedom, comes more responsibility.
