The Plot!

    Hello! Today’s post is going to be filled with all the details regarding the final plot and outline for our opening!! So after tons of conversation and brewing of ideas this is the plan.

    Like I have mentioned before, we are going to have three main characters, Betty, James, and August. Three teen best friends. We plan to show them in the very beginning of opening in the first clips. We want to show fast paced cut clips of close ups of their faces looking down. We really want to do this to show the fear and confusion in their faces and increase the intensity of the situation. We want this to reflect on to the viewers and transmit the characters emotion through the screen. We also want to show clips of their hands with blood on them. The location they are in is a bathroom staring downwards towards the drain and blood spiraling down (much like Alfred Hitchcock’s infamous shower scene). This would hint to the audience that there was some sort of murder or death and the teens are exposed to it. Following this we were thinking of  including a scream from one of the characters and cut it off after a few seconds to a black screen where we'd display the title. 

     We then plan for there to be some sort of flash back and after that clip comes on we'll have text at the bottom saying "four days prior". That scene would go straight to the rooms of one of the characters getting ready to hang out with the rest while listening to music (which my team member Thiago already emailed an artist for!) and maybe a shot following them outside to the car with the others. My team members and I want to also get a shot from inside the car with the characters talking and laughing; essentially being best friends. We do not want to reveal the antagonist in our opening but we do want to hint he is there by maybe showing his shadow. We are still missing some of the details and of course mise en scene but stay tuned for that next week!

    For now, I hope you guys our essential plot so far and can't wait to bring you guys along for the rest. Talk soon :)
