Today as Ellie and I were trying to think of all of the specific props and other aspects we can bring to the film opening, we had a really tough time thinking of ways to make the background look like the 70s. From the types of outfits to the looks of everything in the scene, it just was not realistic. Also finding an old fashioned radio was not working out in our favor. Due to all this, we decided that we're just going to place this in present day. It wasn't like the 1970s was a huge part of our storyline anyways so it was not a big deal.
As I talked about earlier the way we plan on conveying the storyline is through the props we are going to use; we started to name out things we can add to the "layer". Some of the things that are creepy aren't realistic for us to use . This is where we were struggling. We needed to find a way to make this "layer" look real. If everything were to look fake it would ruin the opening.
We decided on lots of fake blood and looked into getting a fake body parts. Nothing to gory though because we don't want to scare away any viewers. We did find some good ones and believe that this will bring our film opening to a new level. Also their will be a bulletin board with all of the girls he has taken before. Everything in that room builds on the idea of the man being a psychopath.
We discussed where we would lay everything out and where we will film (in a bedroom). We're going to try and find a bland room and we'll hang up sheets around it to get rid of the extra items in view. We don't want to have anything distracting from the scene. We read about how important everything in the setting effects the film from http://www.steves-digicams.com/knowledge-center/how-tos/filmmaking-tips/mise-en-scene-everything-within-the-frame.html#b .In the short amount of time Ellie and I met today I think we really got a lot done, even thought there are still some things we need to figure out. Next time we meet our goal is to work these out.
