3/26/16 - Inspiration

I've looked up some opening and films that match our genre and I've found some pretty interesting stuff. First of all, I wanted to go back and re-watch a very mind opening show, Black Mirror, and in particular, the episode Whitebear, which used elements that we want to incorporate in the visuals and plot evolution. It offered a beginning that was completely unknown to both the protagonist and the viewers, which is basically how we want to start off our opening because innocence and vulnerability can quickly be manipulated. Also it has one of the key elements in our story, that the person who you believed in and trusted in the beginning, turns into someone you would never imagine, in which the protagonist in Whitebear is found to actually be a bystander to a murder, therefore not being as innocent and vulnerable as the audience had assumed in the beginning.

Another opening I really enjoyed, that embodied similar motifs as ours, was the movie Bourne Identity. A stranded man washes up somewhere with no recollection of who he is or how he got to where he is and he has something implanted in him, which also follows (somewhat) the mystery and adventure/journey we wanted our viewers to go on with our protagonist. We wanted to offer a lighthearted yet suspenseful movie that in the end would make the viewers feel hoodwinked. I think these are two very good examples of inspirations I've found. also, storyboard is moving along great, and the shot list as well. The show must go on!
