Decisions, Decisions

As a class, we were informed about this project back in October of 2016. We picked our group members and whether we wanted to do a film opening or a magazine; I picked the film opening. Recently, we were officially assigned the project and given permission to work on it. Day One we discussed possible genre. From the beginning, we decided, as a group that we didn't want to do anything romantic to avoid being cheesy. We talked about mysteries, drama, comedy, ect. It wasn't until Day Two that one of our group members came up with an idea involving two different worlds, almost a parallel of each other. As we discussed her idea, the group increasing started to get inspired with ideas related to the two worlds. From time to time, we would come up with an idea but realize that it was too similar to an already existing series or movie. It wasn't until we side tracked into a conversation about the TV show, Black Mirror, that we found our inspiration for our opening. Tweaking a little here and there, we finally came up with a brilliant idea. Imagine a social experiment conducted by scientists, who collected two groups of people and put each group in a separate world. One world would be technology free and the other containing every piece of technology one can think of. From this understanding of the plot line, we were ready to start planning shots, angles, mise-en-scene, and composition. I'm really excited about our idea and I hope that everything works out well.
