Today, my group and I decided on the final idea for our movie opener. We kept the same ideas as before, only this time we expressed some issues we might have. As well as discussed logistics and details of the movie.
We kept this as the storyline:
Dr. Elena Marquez is one of the leading cardiac surgeons in her area. She has been instrumental in keeping alive patients who were about to run out of time. Until the tragedy, of course, comes to her own family. Daniel, her husband, suffers a sudden and severe organ failure. The doctors gave him only a few weeks.
Elena puts him on the national transplant list right away; nevertheless, his situation is not severe enough to get the priority ranking he needs. The odds of a transplant happening in time are next to nothing.
Elena, overwhelmed by terror and sorrow, sees helplessness as the only option. She exhausts all legal routes, clinical trials, remote donor programs, and luxury hospitals, but the pace remains unchanged. She sees her husband fading away while she, a doctor who has been saving lives, feels utterly powerless.
The tension escalates, and Elena starts to do things that she had never thought she was capable of. She begins to illegally look for possible matches in hospital records. At the beginning, she convinces herself that she is only looking, not doing anything. But as Daniel continues to deteriorate, her desperation becomes an obsession.
The moment Elena discovers someone who could be the perfect donor, a healthy, anonymous person with no family ties, she is at a crossroads. She is aware of what the law requires, and she understands her moral pledge. However, she also knows that this organ could be the one to save her husband.
Elena picks Daniel.
I'm excited about laughing and doing a lot of retakes for the same clip. While it could be stressful, I think it's a normal part of filmmaking, and it will probably be funny when we fail over and over again.
I am worried about the accessibility to props and costumes, as well as the actual logistics of the movie. Details like how the surgeon will meet the patient in a place that is isolated enough to take their organ, since hospitals are normally crowded.
