Over the last couple of days, I have been brainstorming some ideas on what I could possibly do for my storyline. I have taken inspiration from mostly Moonrise Kingdom, as the girl runs away from home, and The Royal Tenenbaums, as the story will be divided into literal book chapters and the family (father and daughter) will be united as one again with repaired relationships. There is still a lot more detail needed, as well as the ending to tie in the fact that the woman in the beginning was the teenage girl in the story and that the book was her autobiography.
- Woman receives a book in the mail and opens it to the prologue
- Cut to screenshot of the prologue page in book (the following shots will be the story reenacted)
- Mother just died = dad depressed and never leaves his bedroom = daughter forced to do everything around the house
- Girl wants a break and to escape to become a normal teenager again; maps plan of where she is going to go
- Writes letter to dad explaining that she's leaving for a bit and attaches a clue to find her if he is interested (there are clues left at every location)
- Packs suitcase and leaves
- Looks through binoculars throughout the journey to focus on the destination
- Follows map and ends up at a creek where she meets a boy who has also run away from home; they decide to complete the rest of the journey together
- After a couple of days, the father starts to worry about his daughter since he initially thought she was just going to be gone a couple of days; disregards the letter
- Calls her and leaves a voicemail asking where she is, if she is safe and to come home; she ignores because she is too focused on the boy and her journey
- Shows their journey following her map, and also shows her dad trying to find her but is really far behind
- Her dad ends up giving up and going back home halfway through because he injured himself in the bush
- Girl returns home. happier than before, and he is upset as he didn't know what had happened to her; she realises how much she means to him
