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.

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.

Smooth Sailing

After playing around with a bunch of different ideas, I am finally starting to wiggle a little from each into he two minutes. I really like the technology aspect, but I still like the idea of showing a memory and the opening being from the murderers perspective. There is a lot to consider with so little time so I have to pick and choose wisely in order for the best results. I'm going to continue discussing with my peers, as they would be possible audience members, so that I can get as much feedback as possible. This coming week I want to come up with a final story board and continue filming and hopefully start editing to catch up to past as coming with the actual idea has been the most difficult part for me thus far, and I believe will be for the entire project. Once I have a solid idea down and I am satisfied, I imagine smooth sailing from then on.
