In this post I would like to discuss my characters over all and what their role may be in the project.
The first is my mom, Nadine, she will be most likely playing a mother and wife in the movie as she does in real life. Either as an observer or victim I am not sure of yet, but she is one of the main characters. The second character is my brother, Jason, who will be playing the son and is a possible killer or victim, which is still undecided as well. And the third character, my father, Isaac, would be more a background character and observer, his role is not quite defined.
I am trying to work with their personalities as is right now and my ideas for how the opening should go before i truly define any roles yet. I too may be included in this opening a mother character, however I am beginning to story board and consider my environment when making these decisions.

Getting places

So far, I'm still playing around with a few ideas for the plot line. Some of the ideas include: - Having the 2 minute opening be shot completely from the murder's perspective so that the audience is puzzling together what is going on without realizing it is the murder right away. This idea allows for insight onto what the murder is doing and his/her motives. I like this idea a lot because often times murder mysteries are from the victims perspective or the victim's family/friends perspectives. This would give me a chance to really get into the psychological lens and show my creativity. However, it has been difficult for me to come up with a plot line that isn't too abstract nor too open with information. I want the intro to set up somewhat of a cliffhanger so that the audience is tuned in and intrigued to see what follows and I can't do that if the into doesn't make sense or gives too much information away too quickly. - I have considered different ages for t...

Glued To My Phone

This week while going back to the story boards, I was thinking of making the opening based around a text message conversation with some few outside clips of what one of the testers is doing. Possibly two people plotting something, the unknown killer and victim communicating etc. This conversation grabs the audiences attention as it is uncommon and so everyday, especially among millennials. A modern day killing including technology makes is very spooky and interesting as this can make a social commentary and warning about being cautious online. I was thinking about starting off with a teen girl listening to music in her room and texting someone random. The conversation is sketchy but seems normal at first. It will take a dark twist towards the ending hating at something more serious and the perspective will change to the person on the other end to show both sides. I don't have all the details down, but I am working on them.
