The past few days I've been continuing to do research on cold cases for ideas for what kind of set up I will be doing for my opening. http://www.forensicscolleges.com/blog/resources/10-cold-cases-solved This webpage showed a few examples that really got me getting creative, especially the fisherman story as something like that is plausible in my town.

I've been watching two minute openings of a bunch of different murder mystery movies to understand what their opening's purpose is and how my opening will be able to reach a similar level of meaning. So far I watched The Lovely Bones which I mentioned in my previous blog posts and gave me ideas for the approach that I will be taking to the plot. Possibly having it be form the killers perspective watching the victim or something of the sort to have some mystery involved. Other movies like Shutter Island, Gone Girl, and Sherlock Holmes have also been providing different ideas and perspectives for how I should approach my opening.



Each movie has a creative approach to the opening scene so I want mine to show some individuality while not going too far off the spectrum.

It's a date!

Since coming up with a basic plot line for my opening, I'm going to being sketching out ideas and places for where I will film. I have come up with a filming schedule as well: 3 days of week of filming for at least an hour each time. It is difficult for me to come up with precise dates as my family and myself included all work and sometimes hours vary. It is easier to acknowledge that for an hour 3 times a week is mandatory for filming so that dates are created and abandoned or ignored due to dynamic schedules.  Some of the places that I have considered filming are in my house, a park, a sidewalk near a lake, and maybe a store. For the memory aspect of my opening, I decided my house would be the best fit as I have imagined the memory to be a child getting abused by a parent which would point to his/her later abusive actions in the future. The part after the memory and maybe a little bit before, I imagined the future killer to be doing a very steady, patient and laborious job such a...

A New Week

This week I was able to get back on track with this project. I filmed a few shots and they got the juices flowing again. I also spoke to some peers and they helped me come up with small ideas and put  me back on track. They told me to incorporate contemporary practices such as the use of technology into it as this would help my opening and project stand out and be creative against others. By incorporating trends that are happening right now, my opening stays relevant and would help draw in larger audiences, were this project to include the whole movie and go public. I'm glad I confronted my peers with my thinking jam as they really helped me get out of it and now I am able keep moving forward with and continue making progress. I will now go back to the drawing boards to make my idea more contemporary and original. I find that by including technology, I have a closer understanding as communicating through cellphones and social media is so common now and it would be interesting to in...
