I excuse myself for not being as present as I started out with, I've been attempting to take a hiatus from, the frustration of not coming up with a mastermind plot in the span of 5 minutes, and mostly just focusing on the genre we had chosen and the structure we were going to follow and try to go on from there.
Friday, our class went to the media center and we were set up in groups where we were to discuss our blogs, and a basic outline of what issues we were facing our where we are with our projects. We started out by discussing about the different directors that intrigue us, such as Danny who takes a liking in Christopher Nolan's film as do I but in Quentin Tarantino's films. The other individuals with us, Kelly and Bella, helped us set up basically what we had to do in order to achieve the vision we had.
They told us to not expand on too many characters, unless they are important clues in the story line, and that if we were following the plot line where the protagonist have to work his/her way to figure out what exactly happened to them that we should have all of our elements in place in the story because I'm most of these story lines, like the hangover, for example. These being one of the numerous advice we gave us, I think we're pretty close to getting where we want to be. Kelly also told us that if we are having problems planning out the plot line from beginning to end that we should start from the end, which would be the beginning/resolution and then work our way back to the beginning of the story, which for us will start at the end. Seem confusing? Good. Hopefully by the end of this week now we will have storyboard drafts and be starting character archetypes. The research continue!
