Blog Post #1 - Final Project Idea

 My final project will be the opening scene of a thriller and suspense themed movie. This film will revolve around a young woman who has caught the attention of a obsessive young man. However unbeknownst to him, she is not all that she seems. 

Throughout the opening scenes, we see on a split screen both characters going about their daily routine. As this is shown to the audience, its apparent that somebody is watching them. The faces of the characters are kept hidden from the audience to inflict tension and suspense, keeping the viewers guessing. 

As the scene progresses, secrets are unfolded as it is evident that both parties are obsessed with the other. However, he is oblivious to the now known fact that he is not the only stalker. This is made clear as their faces are revealed, and their facial expressions speak volumes. 

He is unaware of just how dangerous the young woman is. The stalker is actually the quarry. This is divulged as the story takes another twist by showing the woman's previous obsessions. 

Timeline: For my final project i have about 10 weeks to plan, produce, and edit my opening 2 minutes. I am assuming that my planning time will take the most time since everything down to the makeup and costuming must be thoroughly thought through and planned out. Mid-January I will start filming my project and after that I will begin editing while also going back to refilm certain parts if needed.
