Hello everyone,
Yesterday my group and I met up after school at my
house and continued to develop our story. We also discussed how we were going
to film some of it. As you all know, we already had a very good idea of what we
wanted to do in our film opening, but there were some parts that we did not
specifically know what we wanted to show.
Once our protagonist wakes up in the middle of the night with the blue
eyes, we did not know how to show to our audience how Isa (the hacker) hacked
her brain in the first place. We have decided that our protagonist used to be
best friends with the hacker. When the hacker and her boyfriend broke up, our
protagonist started to date him. Then the hacker decided that she was going to
do something to get her "best friend" back for that, so she implanted
a chip into the protagonist’s headphones. When she sends a computer signal to
the chip it is going to shoot into her ear. This chip now responds to all
commands made by our hacker’s computer. This idea works with out target
audience, which are teens and young adults 14 to 25. This target audience
usually expects there to be some kind of drama in the story line. We also could
not figure out what exactly out protagonist would be doing while being
controlled. We decided that she should first kill the hacker’s ex-boyfriend
(her current boyfriend). This will cause people to be surprised because she
will have no recollection of killing him, and will mourn his death, even though
she is the one who killed him. Since we only have two minutes, and we can't
show a real killing, we are going to imply it by ending our opening with our
protagonist sharpening a knife while he is sleeping in the other room.
To show the opening, Isa showed me a
basic coding video. I included the video above. We are going to
change the words typed into the computer, but this is what it looks like.
Another important thing to remember when imagining our film opening is
that Isa (the hacker) is very popular in school. She is a secret genius. This
creates another secretive aspect in our film. It will appeal more to our
targeted audience. We imagine a scene where Isa comes home and changes from her
very pretty outfit, takes off all her makeup and puts on all black clothes. Two
outfit examples are shown below.
The top outfit is what she will come home and put
on. The bottom outfit is an example of how she will
display herself to the world. Additionally, we are deciding if we should stick
with the neon blue contacts, or if we should purchase neon green contacts. The
neon green contacts will match the coding that Isa has on the computer. This
will work better if we want to do a graphic match of some sorts.
We are getting together tomorrow again to draw out
the storyboard. I will keep you guys updated on our progress. Stay tuned!
Talk to you soon,
Caroline
