Minor issue...

Hey guys, I know it's been a while since I posted, but the group and I have been planning out some of our problems and holes. Some of these included

• Lighting
• Scenes
• Main characters
• Name of the movie

Today, in this blog post, I'll be talking about an issue that we came across with our cemetery scene and how we plan on fixing it.

If you look at the post I did on March 8th, you guys will see how we decided on the setting and that it will take place in Markham park in a low key lit scene. This isn't changing in our project, the change comes with what's going on the scene. Originally, we were gonna make the scene look like a real cemetery, but we realized that we would have had to keep the shots to close and we didn't have the objects to make it happen. Therefore, the group and I decided to change it into a closed cemetery, on the families property. Due to this I made a new beginning and here is the storyboard that we will use for the first part (cemetery):

As you guys can see, the scene will now be a family cemetery in the back of a their ranch, which is the house of the family that died. The first 3 frames are there to establish the location and show the audience where the cemetery and story will take place. Then the next frames brings up the headstones and goes through each one of them to show the names of those who died. The rest of the scene will consist of flashy shots (resembling police lights) and there will be rapid cuts showing a headstone and the person who died (Will show a symbol on their forehead and all dead people shown will have the same symbol). This will repeat with each headstone and towards the end it will speed up the cuts and turn black. At this moment we will show the title.

At this point we are also considering adding either a message saying "A few months earlier" and then the story progresses, showing that there was a time to change. On the other hand, we are also thinking about including the dates on the headstones saying the day of the deaths and when the next scene begins we will show a calendar showing the month and date that is happening at the time. We are still thinking on what to do but as soon as we figure it out I'll post a blog on, So stay tuned on my upcoming blog. 

Lastly, I wanted to mention that we are also on the task of figuring out a title of the movie and we have some ideas in mind, but we still need to work on the fonts and resemblance that it will have to the story. But, we are getting our ideas based off of these titles from other well known thrillers, so ours might look a bit like theirs. Here are the thrillers:

 

The reason as to why we are basing our title on this is because they all include specific characters that relate to the movie. For example, Prisoners has the "O" as a symbol, this is exactly what we want to do with our title, but instead something that relates to the film and is important to it.

That's it for today guys, have a great day and stay tuned!
