Film Changes

     After our group meetings and discussing our feedback with my partner we decided to change up our story. So overall we still have the idea of a girl running away but we are taking out the part that she is making it look like she got kidnapped. We aren't really sure how we would be able to bring that vision to life in our opening scene and it might just look a little tacky.There would be no way to ensure the audience that that is what she's doing and could leave watchers with questions the film might not be prepared to answer. So we decided to just switch it to Serena having a mental breakdown while she is home alone rather then her mom being home the whole time. We will have the mother get home from work at the very end rather then having her home at the same time. 

    Because our film is called "Spiraling" they gave us the suggestion to have the camera spinning. So we think we are going to film in my room and hang the phone from the fan and have the fan on a low setting or off and just push the fan around the subject with our hands to show the room spinning. This will create the image of Serena's mental breakdown that will lead her into running away. Another method we could use is putting ceiling tape on certain areas of the fan. Doing this can create a real life spiral effect that we could possibly use while cutting back to scenes of Serena's P.O.V.

    Now that we have made these changes we are getting even closer to our production days!!
