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.

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.

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
