Film Opening - Blog Post #8

Deeper into Planning

        Hello everyone! Today, my group was able to meet once again and finalize our basic outline. We went on the Google document we had created once this project was assigned and began to write our ideas down. We did this by discussing how each of us imagined everything in the opening was going to happen and how we were going to portray each of these minor events within the story. This allowed us to not only gain a cohesive understanding of how we were going to create the opening, but also gain insight on how we could show each event differently and which method would be the most effective. Here is a picture of our document: 

It was challenging to come to a final agreement about the outline of this opening, especially since every
member of our group had different ideas for how this post-apocalyptic story would begin. However, we
accomplished this and are looking forward to creating a shot list and storyboard in order to further prepare
for the production part of this project.

        Though this may only seem like a couple bullet points, creating this list has allowed us to finalize the foundation of our project in order to help us more forward. There are definitely a handful of ideas that are left to solidify, however this will allow us to create a storyboard with much more ease and also divide our opening into digestible parts. I personally believe that making a cohesive outline is one of the most difficult parts in the planning process (especially when working with a group), so I am glad that we have gotten that out of the way and are now continuing in the more final parts of the planning process. I will post updates as soon as they come! Stay on the lookout!
