Week 2 second posting

Our classmate Shivani suggested this website for planning : mindmeister.com

We decided on doing a film opening about an abusive relationship.

We researched methods of abuse in relationships such as gaslighting, with a source used above ^

Then we planned out possibilities for our opening scene:

opening scene:
Katrina and Wes

opening like napoleon dynamite: different colorful background, pretty flowers in vase, then pushed new one then pushed off then new one then pushed off, while credits, Then THE Doorbell and the door.

doorbell, door opens, nobody is there, flowers in a vase at her doorstep, she picks them up and her sleeves fall down, revealing bruises and scars,  and a note that says "sorry about last night , I love you Kit Kat", she brings the flowers to a windowsill where the same vase and same flowers are there, wilted and dead, and she replaces them (indicating this has happened before).  *mellow music playing*

then she sighs and goes to her room and crawls into bed and turns off the lights and sets the alarm for the next day. closeup of her turning on the alarm clock for tomorrow, then it is the same shot of him turning on an alarm clock, (like the apple idea)

 We are planning to begin writing the script this weekend and we've begun casting actors.
