Entry #11 Week Two Post Four

Eyoooo!

Yesterday and today consisted of many voice memos exchanged in the group chat between Shelby, Reem, and I further developing our plot and roughly organizing our shooting schedule. 

Shelby had recommended that we all make the main female character receive a letter in the mail saying that she has been scheduled for a date, as if one received there duty to be apart of a court's jury. She also said that we can show her using a burner phone to contact her best friend that she is apparently incompatible with. This can contribute to the stigma behind having relationships outside of one's signs compatibility. 

Reem and I were a bit unsure of the idea, but we did love the idea of incorporating signs of future conflict which would be developed later in the film, but foreshadowed from now. 

With this, we drafted the plot outline of our film opening, although it is TBD. We also verbally agreed on dates and times we are generally available for to enter the production process. 

Opening scene:

• Various shots of community
• Establishing setting and way of life
• Credits rolling

Scene #1:

• (V)-Main girl in her room waking up (doing a daily task)
• Get an email about monthly schedule includings dates to meet compatible person
• Various shots of her room to show zodiac

(Purpose: showing a normal life of a citizen in society, and introducing character and their zodiac.)

Scene #2:

• (T)-Introduce partner, doing similar thing to the main character
• Very similar shots (parallel editing)
• Also gets an email about date, and monthly schedule
• (Purpose: further emphasis of society, and introducing character and zodiac.)

Scene #3:

• Go back to V, complaining to friend
• Friend is compatible
• Getting ready for date
• Looking out window

Scene #4:

• Back to T also getting ready, but slight shift in routine
• Looking at different scenery, further establishing setting

Last scene:

viewing of main characters, at a restaurant in a booth (on a date)

- Camera then pans to a crane shot to show a full restaurant of different people on dates

(have little bubbles of each zodiac and compatibility level on top of each person’s head-like sims)
