    Hey everyone, prepare for this MAJOR update on our final!

Today, I will be talking about our FINAL idea for our film opener: 

The Other Side: Part 2

    After much deliberation, my group members and I finally settled on the kidnapping and online chatroom/dating plot which I nicknamed "The Other Side" the last time we discussed potential ideas for our final project. The plot will be roughly the same as I outlined previously with a FEW minor tweaks from everyone's input as we finally fleshed out the idea properly! This decision was pretty much unanimous and everyone was amicable during our discussions about what they wanted and did not want. Just like I figured in a prior post about why I chose to work with these group members, we JUST meld perfectly together like pieces of a puzzle. I HOPE our future proceedings and actually doing the work will be JUST as well! This collaborative experience has been very magnificent as well as informative! Every NEW experience is a learning one and just because we all have worked together before and known each other for a while does not mean there is nothing left to learn. Moreover, I think you guys could have already figured out what the genre is from reading the plot synopsis/outline I gave last time, but in case you did not know already...(drum rollll)...it is HORROR! I know, I know...what a surprise! The secondary genre classification would be drama, but that is NOT as exciting as the primary one.

Conventions

    So our project is obviously going to be scary, chilling, ominous, etc. Basically, ALL those buzzwords you would hear in a horror movie advertisement or your horror enthusiast friend has probably said multiple times within your vicinity while trying to convince you to subject yourself to mental torture once again for their sake! Furthermore, the drama aspects will fulfilled through typical teenage angst and behavior along with some authorities on the case near the end, leaving the audience wanting for MORE. The essentials our opener will follow are a dark atmosphere (maybe through some grimy filter we find), EERIE sounds, and police/detectives (for drama probably through the use of MISSING posters) in order to give our project a proper background within the genres. As you can probably tell, my MAIN source of inspiration for this is the movie The Black Phone (2022) which I analyzed the title sequence of in my previous post, but another movie that heavily influenced me for this was Megan is Missing (2011) as the online aspect is much more relevant in this era than a serial kidnapper from the 70s. Enough about that, let me tell you how our project will be unique and different from the generic conventions! We will add a plot twist that WILL be foreshadowed to suggest to the audience that maybe this whole sequence of events was ALL a part of the girl's plan in the first place... NOW, that will be SO fun to do! 

    That is ALL for now! Thanks for stopping by! :)
