Hey! Ellie here, back with some updates on how our long project ahead of us is going. We started to plan out in our heads how the opening to our film opening is actually going to look like, realistically. By realistically I mean how we are actually going to execute our crazy ideas. One of these ideas was drawn from the beginning of the film, Napoleon Dynamite.
Where our opening credits will be written on items that tie into the movie; these items would be utensils you would find in a scientific lab or even personal items belonging to the missing girl, like a backpack for say since we decided that it will be revealed in the news report that she was taken walking home from school. This opening would take place while the audio only news report is playing in the background, just like how the music in Napoleon Dynamite is played. However, we would like our items to be scattered around the lab and have the camera slowly pan through all of them instead of having a direct high angle view of the items in a series of jump cuts. We also realized that since our movie is taking place during the 1970's we would have to make our "set" look like a lab in the 70's which we obviously had no clue how to do especially with absolutely no budget whatsoever. So, we came to the conclusion that we'll just cancel the whole 70's time period, and just have the film take place in the present time period. This way we will actually be able to, HOPEFULLY, execute our opening with ease. Notice how I wrote hopefully in all caps? That is because I hope everything goes with ease, but I honestly doubt it will. I will for sure be writing about our plentiful mess ups in my future blogs. ;)
