Paper Boy is a coming of age tale that revolves around the protagonist who is, as the title suggests, a paper boy. The costumes will be minimalistic and aesthetically sound enough to satisfy the context within which the plot has been set. Most of the clothing seen will be regular, daily wear attire which will reflect the economic and financial status of the character; with solid pastels to be used as the basic color palette and extremely unadorned and basic elements of clothing. The setting and lights are specifically chosen to accommodate the character. Hence one will find locations that are familiar to the layman, but given an austere feel by the low-key lighting. These tiny elements will come together to communicate the economic circumstances of the protagonist. We will see the character's interaction with these spaces, and how it evolves over the course of the entire film will drive home the 'coming of age' genre of the film. However, as my task is limited to creating the opening video, we will see the protagonist's interaction with his surroundings at the beginning of his journey of change. Staying true to the idea of minimalism, I will be using completely natural light and no external sources will be used. This will help provide my viewer with an extremely realistic and believable picture.
