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 incorporate into a murder mystery.

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.

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'...
