First Individual Meeting

Hey guys, 

A bit of a change in our plot... Thanks to our teacher's feedback!! We are truly able to deliver our thoughts for our production more smoothly now.

    So today my partner and I met with our teacher to discuss where we currently are and the details of our project. We were given some feedback that allowed us to develop a better opening and to be able to approach it a bit differently. Although the majority of our opening is remaining the same as discussed in the previous blog posts, we plan to change the ending a bit and make it more suspenseful and to make it make more sense.

    We were called to the back of the room and began discussing how we plan to film our project and gave a background of our developed character, Carinne Sylvaine. The first minute of Carinne being chased or followed down the dorm hallway is going to remain in our opening as she is followed by the killer. Since the killer is not going to be revealed at the beginning of the opening because that's the whole point of the opening is to kind be a teaser for what is going to occur in the remainder of the film, we are going to ensure the killer is masked in a dark costume which was developed prior to this posting. 

    Were questioned about how we plan to incorporate the nightmare Carinne was having and how that is tied to the male character with which she ends up falling in love with. At first, my partner and I did not really think or visualize the importance of the male but now we look back on it and he is pretty much just as important as Carinne. 

    We plan to develop that character a bit more in this post since the killer is the significant other of this male character. Instead of having Carinne's mom call her and wake her up, we plan to have the male character that she is infatuated with call her and wake her up which will then transition into the ending scene of her door being knocked on by him which would be the last few seconds of the film opening. At first, we wanted to display the poor relationship Carinne obtains with her mother but we realized that having a shattered frame of her mother in her dorm is a pretty good symbolic representation of that.
