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.

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.

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...

Hello, My name is Madeline Brik, I am working on this project individually and my mind is currently spiraling out of control with new ideas and content for this two minute film opening. With so many different directions to go in from superheroes to my favorite soap opera dramas, I knew I had to choose a route that would speak to people on a different level beyond the superficial. I want to open minds and spark conversations. Growing up, murder mysteries were something I never truly considered my favorite. I found them scary and confusing. Memories of me nagging my parents to understand are running through my head when I think about murder mystery movies "Mom, why did he do that?" "I don't get the ending, what does it mean?" The themes were beyond my comprehension, but now as a 18 year old senior in high school, I finally have a grasp and I'm excited to give it a shot.      Choosing a genre with commentary on the social condition is my main goal in this p...
