Research and analysis of other films

 Researching more film inspiration

Today I wanted to take a deeper look into one specific teen drama tv show. I am now considering doing more of a teen drama, kind of like Outer Banks. Outer Banks is a tv series filmed where these teens are living the "pouge" life, meaning they are broke teens that do whatever they want when they want. They are always living for the beach. I want to make my film a lot like that. The opening of this show is the group of teens hanging out in an abandoned house they should not be in, and then cops come and chase them out of the house. They then run in their car laughing and making fun of the cop while music plays in the background, showing their lack of care and how much fun their having. The show overall is about these teens who have nothing treasure hunting so they can live a good life. They face a lot of challenges along the way which is very important for the "drama" part of the film

Here is the opening scene of the show I am referring to:

My Teen Drama Idea

If I choose to go with the "Outer Banks" vibe, I would make my film also revolve around a friend group who are not wealthy and decide to go to the beach to have a good time, but while running in the sand, they find an ancient artifact that they believe will finally make them rich and live the "good life", but they soon find out this artifact is not what it seems and comes with a lot of consequences. If I did this kind of film, I would rely heavily on the visuals. I would try and recreate a similar vibe in my film with the beach and similar costuming, and I would even make my own artifacts that these teens find throughout the film.
