Project Idea And Major Inspiration:

My group’s idea is dark, thriller, with a sprinkle of drama. It’s a large concept and will be a challenging one to shoot, but my group and I are ready to take on this challenge to create the best film opening possible. So what’s our idea, you may ask... well, here it is... Our film opening, from the very beginning before our idea was set in stone, as a group we knew we wanted to take the audience on a deep and emotional ride. While not telling them the story, but showing them instead, using symbolic messaging to go along with our overall theme. Our idea is about a man who knows his time on earth is coming to an end, so in the last stages of his life he plans to take as many pictures as possible to pass them down to the next generation. His life will be ended by hired hitman, his fate has been accepted. We intend for those pictures to be Polaroids, and knowing he needs something to connect with the audience on an emotional level, we are going to add a love interest and family to his life that will be seen when the Polaroids are shown. The main shot that I plan for this plot to be sold on is a bird’s‑eye‑view shot of the main character lying lifeless on a bed with the Polaroids surrounding him, using black and white with very sharp shadows to go along with the fact that he is dead. We want this character to go out with some level of humanity. The polaroid's will hopefully bring that essence to the character. Our main character has accepted his death and doesn't want to fight his killer. The overall messaging we want is to bring to this piece is that you must accept death to fully live out your life. DON'T LIVE IN FEAR...

INSPIRATION PICTURES:

This are the major inspirations I’ve taken for my group’s film opening. I’m still getting the script ready for production, but everything as of now is moving swiftly.

The main goal I have for this project is to contain the mystery behind the film, but show just enough that the audience knows where the film will be headed. I want to set the stage in such a way where the audience experiences the film and isn’t left with any questions.
