Planning, planning, and more planning

Hey everyone and welcome back! Nicole and I have been working really hard on our story’s layout and what lies ahead for it. We worked harder on the storyline and the storyboard itself. Below I have a picture of Nicole while we are working on our project in class.
The beginning of our movie (the film opening) will consist of scenes from before and after the crime was committed, but will all center around the victim and the crime. Whenever the detective asks Blair a question, the scene will cut to the flashback giving the answer, but once it cuts back to Blair she says something contradicting. We want the opening to end by having the detective ask a very serious and important question that grabs Blairs attention and she immediately looks up. Once she looks up in shock the scene will cut out and it will show the movie’s title. For the rest of the movie, Nicole and I want it to be about Blair leaving the station and she kind of breaks the fourth wall and tells the audience that she is going to explain. The movie then cuts back to before the murder and the story begins.
Nicole and I have been looking at Shutterstock to get some ideas of how we want to pull off some of the shots. For the first shot, we want to have a close up of Blair’s legs as she is getting out of the car. There are many ways to pull that off so we decided to search the internet for some examples. In the next blog post, I will talk more about the storyboard and what Nicole and I are debating on. But for right now we are really focusing on Blair and the other characters and how we want them to be portrayed to the audience. Is Blair innocent or guilty? If she is guilty, what is the motive? Many factors have come up in what we really want to do for the plot, so in the next blog, I will talk about the conversations that we have had. Check in tomorrow to check out my next blog post!
