Changes to beginning that you need to know about

March 15, 2019

Hello guys! Today I want to discussed and further explain something I went over in my previous blog which I barely went in dep about. This is about our opening scene and establishing shot of what it was before to referred as a cemetary. We decided with the team that making these first scenes in a public cemetary won’t be the best idea for various reasons. Number one, we just find it a bit disrespectful to film in such places like these and isn’t a place to conduct a project on. Also, it won’t fit into our project very well for several reasons. Since we want to make these deaths special and different from others to differentiate that it has something to do with the psychopath, we believe it’s better to do it in some place isolated or hidden. Having this flashbacks in an odd place like this and not just any public cemetary can also be quite mysterious and appealing to our genre (thriller).

The new scene we created will take place on the family’s property. This will be shot in the back of the ranch where the family members died in. Something extra we have added to these scenes is that we want to make it with quick adds and also add some flashy police lights to create that murder crime that took place. There will be names showing of those who died and each one will have the symbol (backwards E) in their head to show it was done by the psychopath. As the cuts progress, we want to speed up into the turn back to days later.

The turn back will be illustrated by a message in the bottom thirds of the view saying something like for example “a few months later…” Someone in the team gave a really smart idea to have dates next to the victim’s names showing a date and then the transition will be shown by including some sort of calendar of that day.  We are still considering all the options we have thought about and I‘ll be keeping you guys updated on our final decisions as soon as we have them! Feel free to say whatever ideas you have in the comments below!!

See you soon! :))
