Analysis

The plot of our movie is basically about 2 twin brothers named David and Damon who both fall in love with the same girl named Tory. Tory doesn't know they are twins, which makes her think that it's the same boy. Both brothers are convinced that she is the one, so the only fair way out of this is sharing Tory. The twins must do all sorts of things so that she doesn't discover the game they are playing on her. The movie ends with a plot twist in which the one being fooled wasn't Tory, it was them. 
We chose this plot because we think it is a very funny and interesting situation. The fact that they are twins is something that we can play around with to make a very unique movie. We also thought that comedy would be the best genre to represent this and make a high quality movie. 
On another hand, there are three main characters: David, Damon and Tory. David, is 17 year old and he is the first one that Tory meets is characterized for being quite clumsy, funny and innocent. On the other hand, Damon, his brother, also 17 years old is very flirtatious, naughty and not shy at all. We chose to make the brothers have opposite personalities because then when Tory meets them, they both act differently but she only thinks that this "one" boy has a very weird and changing personality. We thought that this would make the movie way funnier because it will eventually cause lots of confusion on Tory. Finally, the other main character as mentioned above is off course Tory. Tory is 16 years old and she is a sexy young lady who is very self confident about herself. At first she gives the impression of an innocent, cute girl, but throughout the movie she demonstrates that she is actually very naughty and ends up being a smarty. While the twins think that they are fooling and playing around with her, what they don't know is that she is being even more smart than them and she is the one playing them. We decided that this was the appropriate personality for Tory because with this we can create an unexpected plot twist that will confuse the viewer and make them think twice. 
In the first scene (the only one we have filmed until the moment), there are several symbols that we have decided to use. For example, when she is taking a selfie and sees an imperfection in her makeup she gets very obfuscated and this symbolizes how superficial she is and it helps the viewer understand her personality. Another example is when Damon runs down the stairs to follow Tory. This symbolizes how desperate he is to talk to her and the fact that he is not afraid of anything as long as he gets what he wants. 
In this first scene, most of the camera angles are either medium shot or long shot. The reason why we have't been able to use extreme long shot is because Starbucks is an interior place and this technique is usually used in way bigger spaces. Also, we haven't used normal or extreme close up and the reason for this is because there are certain things in Sebastian and Mateo's face which are quite different and zooming into them would make the viewer differentiate them and make it obvious that they are totally different (which is not the purpose). The only part in which we have used close-up is when showing the name "Tory" written on the Starbucks coffee cup. Once the twin brothers change some of their physical appearance to look much more similar, then we will be able to utilize the close-up technique a bit more.
