Everybody in my media class is required to develop an opening scene for the film opening. We have to represent it for one and the half minute and only 4 people will be chosen. One of them is Nhi's idea and I will work as her partner.
The film is following on the coming-of-age movie style, showing the youth and the way teenager explore and solve the society problem as well as navigating the world.
According to Nhi, she told me that her inspiration comes from " IVE Summer Film", releasing on July 2022. After researching, I can feel the vibe of the film. The film is very successful on expressing the warm friendship and relationship.
