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.

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.
