  This is the storyboard for one of the newest scenes in our film opening.

  Mood Board     This is a mood board inspired by our film, Where Dead Things Lie. By incorporating aspects from our movie like the dripping blood and spooky forests, I put together a collage of movie scenes and other photos to make this mood board. Our movie is supposed to feel creepy and mysterious, and I think this mood board captures that well. 

  This will be our rough draft/plan for our next portion of filming and editing. Fade in to main character rummaging through drawers and cabinets. Cut to a close up shot of her pulling out the knife. Flashing back and forth of an image match between the knife and the knife dripping in blood. Already filmed: Cut to credits (cycle through the previous ones we used.) Establishing shot (the one we used previously that pans down on her) Cut to a shot that follows her stabbing the dog. Cut to the bloody knife pulling up. Cut to the shot of the camcorder and dog.

Cut to her smearing the blood on her neck. Music fades out. Cut to new location with the main character (all clean, no blood) talking to another girl. Cut to the new girl's face. "My name is ****" (her name will be censored, showin...

I'm no professional, so I was a little surprised when she asked me.      Apparently, Mr. Z was playing his guitar when she came into class that day, and she sung along with him. She does opera and musical theatre, so she's really good. They had the idea of playing an acoustic version of Creep by Radiohead and implementing it into our film, and I'm 100% on board. This would likely replace Paranoid Android, since that song's way too complex to try and recreate.      For the past few days, I've been learning the song. It's pretty simple, so it didn't take me long. I'm not exactly sure when we're recording the mus...
