Portfolio Project - Research

I have been looking into many different types of sports film openings. It is quite difficult to come up with a planned out film opening at the moment. I have been watching a couple of gymnastics film openings, and I got an idea from one of them to show the daily life of the gymnast with a competition upcoming, and then the athlete gets injured very badly. Will the athlete have enough time to recover before the competition? One big title film I have put research into is called Full Out, which shows a girl who is in women's gymnastics, gets injured in a car accident and then her recovery from it. This is the same path I would like to take, however with a different type of injury. If I do not take that path, then I think I will show the gymnast's training leading up to a big competition. It will show the athlete working hard, with the coach training him harshly.
