Hi blog! Today was a very productive day for my group members and I. We sat down and overall decided on our plot today. This was a very big step because we had been struggling to decide what idea we would actually go with. We decided to chose a suspenseful drama, because we think it would be the most effective in grabbing the readers attention and creating a monumental scene as the opening. We chose the stalker idea, where a girl is overly obsessed with a guy and ends up killing him. We will start the first scene of as the girl burying the body, and then switch it to a flashback of times before he was dead. As of right now, we have decided to do a girl getting ready for a date with the boy. The mom will say something along the lines of how she doesn't feel comfortable with her daughter going out with a guy she has never met before. The daughter says something like "don't worry mom, nothing bad will come out of it." This will tie in the killing to this moment, creating the sense of foreshadowing necessary in order to develop the plot.
The biggest issue I think we face at this point in the project is that we need to develop the entire movie in just the opening. We have to figure out a way to establish the plot in only two minutes! This seems very hard to me, just because there is barely any time. Because of this, we have to focus on developing the right wording in the flashback scene. Through the conversation, we can allude to what happened. From that point on, the rest of the movie can be the entire story between the couple that led up to the murder. I believe this will be the best approach to tackle this obstacle, because it can establish the entire scene with the words.
This week, our main goal is a storyboard. We want to sketch out the first part of the film opening, because we can start researching filming locations and materials needed. Planning is essential, and we need to focus on this in order to move on with our project. We have a busy week ahead of us!
