Group meeting

Last class in Aice Media our teacher thought it would be a good idea if we discussed our project and ideas about our opening. At first I was a little skeptical about the idea because I didn't know how I would be able to help other people with their project. Once in the groups we talked about what we were struggling in, and it became apparent that everyone had similar problems so talking about the problems resulted with everyone being helped. 

While talking to the group, they asked me if I was going to make my movie on more of the shapeshifter physically attacking or more of phycological haunting. I have been thinking about this question and I don't have answer just yet. To find a conclusion to my question, I was planning to complete 2 different story boards and see which one my group member and others in the class like more. 

One of the things I was struggling with was naming my movie. I thought the title "SHAPESHIFTER" was a good idea but when the group heard it they immediately told me that it wasn't a good idea because it made it seem basic and it would also give up the monster in the movie. I asked what a good title would be and everyone struggled to think about one until one of the group members mentioned that "MIRAGE" would be a great movie tittle because of the relation it has to the movie. Mirage represents the monster because of the way he can change shapes and resembles and illusion.

Lastly, I want to include more symbolism in my movie because it will make my opening more interesting and as a result my audience will enjoy it more. Talking to my group I realized how important symbolism is, so I will add it to my movie. There are many types of symbolism I can add to my opening, but the only ones I can think of are the color red and grey. The color grey in my opening will symbolize the loneliness Frank experiences throughout the movie, this is because no one is willing to believe him about the shapeshifter. The color red in my movie will be introduced when the shapeshifter appears, the color red represents danger and violence in my movie.

Thanks to the group session we had, I will extend my research on phycological thriller and add more details in my opening to improve it.
