Planning out the Vision

Hello, Ellie here with exciting news about the film opening! We have lots of progress on how we want our opening to look like; we have a vision. We want the film to take place in the Orange County area in southern California during the 1970's. We chose the 70's because there was a lot of government distrust and conspiracy theories going on in that time period, so we felt that it went well with our movie plot. We also decided that for our actual opening we would begin it with an audio only news report of yet another missing young girl. This idea was inspired by the film opening of the movie Children of Men where a news reporte is included to give background information about the plot. This is what we are envisioning for our movie. I then wanted to begin writing down what would be said in the news report: definitely information about the past missing cases and then the current one. Alexa and I then both researched legitimate missing persons reports from the LA Times online newspaper, and a sheriff's office website. This research gave us a fundamental base on what a real life missing persons report should sound like, that way ours in the film is realistic. I think our progress is going in the right direction so far, and I am really looking forward to seeing what other techniques we decide to use for the opening.
