I'm continuing planning and I know that there is a lot of research to be done. I feel as though I'm getting somewhere and then I'm 30 tabs deep into understanding the complexity of a human brain and even harder, one of a murderer. I already can foresee future challenges with my project as I will overload on information and ideas that just can't all fit into a short two minute opening despite my stubborn passion and disagreement.

I've decided to start story boarding and getting more into depth with my characters and figuring out the specifics like roles and setting to narrow in my focus. Instead of jumping form one idea to the next, I'm going to create a sturdy platform form which I can work up form to keep everything organized and making sense.

In my previous blog post, I stated my appreciation for the freedom of working individually, but now I am appreciating the times of compromise in partnerships because at least a focus was created. At this point, I'm still open to new suggestions and pieces of information, but i'm really trying to just be more aggressive with my options and get down to business.

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.

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.
