In my film opening, there will be topics discussed in which a series of events will take place, where our character is seen at an unstable point in their life and the goal is to find a route to find personal growth and transformation. In order for the growth and transformation to occur, our character must go through an episode of psychological discomfort that motivates the person to reduce dissonance and restore balance. This specific idea for my opening originated from the use of a media theory, this media theory is one that I found by researching multiple media theories and finding which one of them all could best apply to the concept of my opening.
The media theory I wish to integrate into my project is the "Cognitive Dissonance Theory". The theory covers that "people are motivated to change their beliefs or actions when they experience conflict between their thoughts and behaviors". This theory is categorized as a psychological theory and the reason why I want to integrate it with my film is because the theory consists of a process of dissonance, motivation, and change, which are all essential processes of a coming of age film.
