I have started jotting down some notes about ideas for how everything is going to play out and I realized my resources are limited. Working on this individually leaves me to find actors and a possible camera operator in order for a successful opening. As of right now, my lovely and willing family will be acting in my presentation. By using some of my research and ideas from professional openings and now knowing who my characters will be can help me further along the plot line as I can visualize how it will look. There are so many different emotional approaches to consider and so far that has been my most difficult decision to make. Do I want the opening to be scary, optimistic or mysterious? Each perspective offers an interesting and creative plot line but I have to focus on which will offer the best results.

A tactic I have been using lately is working backwards and thinking about how my movie would end and what types of details would I want to include such as romance, betrayal, and the finding of one's self. These parts of the move that I would want to include if I was doing two hours instead of two minutes have been guiding me into making certain decisions about how my characters will be and what type of audience would have.

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.

Creativity Block

From my last post to now, i have struggled to come up with new ideas to improve upon my plot ohm are it more interesting, mysterious and in depth. I like my ideas but there is a certain opening I'm going for with certain feelings and research concerning psychology involved yet I can't seem to get to what is it. I feel with each passing post, I get closer to what I'm going for but today I took a step backwards. I feel a little stuck and brain dead, so in order to get my creativity juices flowing again, I'm going to continue watching murder mystery movies for inspiration and read some articles to give me insight. I will then continue my story boards, finish them and being filming. Due to this break in productivity, I will have to be more efficient in the future to make sure that I don't fall behind and that my work comes out exactly as I'd like with all my effort shown. It has been difficult to get motivated to do this project at some points due to the fact that m...
