Progress!!!

Yesterday and today have been great! Lianna and I finally got together and discussed our finding and ideas. For the most part we are both on the same page and we have both expanded on each others ideas. During break we both saw the same video and were inspired to do point of view shots to show what the girl is seeing. We also like the idea of doing voice overs in addition to the music to allow the viewers to hear what the character is thinking.

we have encountered two problems that we are trying to overcome. Both of us want to do point of view shot, but are having a hard time with how we are going to transition between point of view shots and lets say a long shot. We want it to flow and not look awkward. O think in order to figure this out we are going to have to film some parts and see if it works and if it looks good.

Our second struggle is elaborating on the story. We are both set on doing the morning routine of a girl with OCD. We hope that the actions are thought of as strange and odd, until later on it is stated that she has OCD. Although the film is about a girl having OCD we want to show that there is more to a persons life than their disorder or struggles. We are trying to think of a story and plot that she could be going through that deviates from OCD and makes the movie enjoyable to watch. I was thinking as the girl leaves her house she sees the same man everyday, saying hi has become part of her routine. As the story unfolds she would fall in love with this man who is completely different from her.The longer they date the more she learn to relax and treat her OCD. This is just and idea, but maybe there is something else we can do.

We also haven't decided if the girl admits she has OCD or if shes in the process of realizing it and coming into realization with the disorder. If this is the route we take the unfolding of the story would be very different. We could also do it so she knows she has it and already goes to therapy and takes medicine.


Here is the video we watched that inspired the point of view shots...

  1. Hey! I really love the ideas that you have addressed throughout the duration of the blog. You have done a lot of research towards your topic and it is definitely depicted in your writing. Although I thoroughly enjoy your writing style, it seems to be a bit repetitive in content - you seem to be saying much of the same content in over lapping posts. As a reader I have become very interested in your story and I would really want a more concrete story, or concrete ideas. It seems like you revert to the background of your information as oppose to the progression of your own project. Along with, your content is great but in some instances, you have typos, I would just proofread your work a little more. But overall, I really enjoyed your ideas!! Keep me posted!
