BIG CHANGEEE

We originally had the idea of recreating Jenn finding out about her father's passing. Today was a major change because after watching the example film openings, we realized our idea would get boring quickly and not achieve the effect we were going for. The idea will still be the same of depicting the loss of loved one; however we are changing the way we convey this to become more engaging.

We want to show a variety of photos from happy memories in the girl's childhood. With each photo, there will a camera zoom into the real memory and how happy Jenn was with the loved one, possibly a parent or sibling. Then the coloring will change emphasizing the sadness of the memory since the loved one passed. Jenn becomes sad and frustrated so she decides to slam the photo book. The book closes and the title will appear on the cover completing the film opening.

Here is an example of the effect we want to try to recreate that what shot in the music video for "Story of my life" by One direction

(Begin at 0:52)

As you can see through the video, the picture was displayed of a distant memory and then there is a transition into the actual scene where the singer, Zayn, began to move. This happens multiple times throughout the music video and also emphazies how the people pictured have grown up. You see the child version of Zayn and then he changes into his adult self highlighting our reminiscent theme.

This is the style we are attempting to emulate through our film opening and storyline and I'll update with further information as the brainstorming process continues.
