Introduction
Welcome dream team! This is our production team's first draft of our film "Through Her Eyes, which was originally titled, "Trust Fall." The reason our movie originally had that title was because the notes we annotated from our instructor's film tips (from the previous blog: idea change- the beginning of "trust fall"), she recommended that our film's hook be something captivating and mysterious such as having our film's antagonist, Christine, as her younger self in a park, picking flowers, and chanting the words "she loves me, she loves me not," and then on her final petal she would utter "she better love me!" This was meant to keep our audience at the edge of their seats. Then, following that scene, our group was meant to film young Mercedes running up behind her and asking if she would like to play the game "Trust Fall" with her, in which Christine would eagerly accept her offer while repeatedly reassuring that Mercedes should trust her (which was meant to introduce the manipulative nature of Christine's character before her bizarre actions occurring later in the film. Towards the end, our group decided to discard our original idea of showing a plot twist of Mercedes being the villain, and then manipulating her friend Lizzy to trust in her plan to torment Christine after knocking her out unconscious. Ultimately, the goal of our original idea for this draft was to depict a perfect loop shifting between different ways one can manipulate others through control, violence, threats, and emotions. Below shows our final decision when creating this film, as our groups only had limited time to complete this task due to certain technical difficulties and our personal schoolwork schedules (we finished recording our footage two days before this assignment's deadline). The lesson we gained from this task was to take heed to tips and criticisms from others, time management, and being open to new avenues and approaches that may not be what was originally intended/planned. Enjoy!
