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.

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'...
