Planning post

Planning to shoot the film opening is my main concern right now because me and my partner and I are a bit behind right now. Because we didn't meet much this week, we used our time to plan and study so that next week when we meet we can use our time as efficiently as possible so that we don't waste time and we can get it done in a couple of days.. I want the news broadcast to look and sound as real as possible since it's the only thing in the opening that has any dialogue. I'm going to make a clean background that looks like a basic news set. To make it feel professional, I'll wear simple, dressy clothes like maybe a suit or maybe a nice polo, just something to make it seem more official. I'm also going to read the plot out loud to myself a few more times to help me remember it. That way, I won't have to look up as much and can look the camera more directly in the eyes. 

I'm working out how the camera will move during the murder scene. The shot will begin with the TV news story in the frame. After that, it will slowly zoom out to show the killer sitting there. I want the viewers to slowly understand who they're looking at. I also want to take close-ups of the things that are on the table as proof, like the knife, the cleaned knife, the grey shoes, and the black hoodie. The credits will be next to each thing in, like, an artistic way, like to actually add in the credits and not just cram them in there. Also, I have a microphone, and we used it to rehearse, but I think I'm going to use it just as a prop because I dont know how to use it for real. By planning all of this now, I think shooting next week will go smoothly, and we can move into editing without spending time.
