Smooth Sailing

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.

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

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.
