This week I've been writing the script for the film opening. I actually watched the movie Logan one day throughout the week and it gave me an idea. I thought maybe the very beginning should be a pitch black screen, showing movie credits, with an audio of the main character passionately acting. Then the title shows and the character is shown (extreme close up of face). Then from there, the scene will continue. Mise-en-scene elements will be an empty stage and Rae is going to be wearing witty and rather "different" clothing. I want to portray our character to not be like other students at her school.
Throughout this week, March 27-31, we will start filming our excerpt. We're planning on using our own school, Cypress Bay, as the setting for the very start of the opening. We're going to try to get permission from the drama teacher to use the stage that Rachel can act on. I'm still working on the script so when it's done is when we will really begin.
The second part of our opening will most likely take place in one of our member's homes. It's going to be the home of our main character to show her type of lifestyle she has. We're planning on editing the extract over the weekend and finishing our piece. In the beginning of this week we're going to look out for some funky clothes for Rae to wear.
I'm doing my best to make time for this project and to take off of work to focus on this production. It's hard for all of our members to make time and plan the same days to work on it together. We're all pretty busy with different schedules but we'll try to make it work out. This project is huge and it's important to make time for it along with all of our other school work. No need to worry though, we still have time to make the final piece the way we expect it to be.
