Planning 1

As of now, Kyra and I decided on the plot of our film opening. I don't know if we're going to stick to this, but it's a start. Our main character is going to wake up somewhere (probably a forest-like area) and an Uber driver will pick her up. The driver will seem insane, but the main character finds out at the end of the film opening that they are actually right.

We want to make this as creepy as possible including the same conventions from inspirations. For example, Black Mirror has the reoccurring theme of making elements of the episode seem very normal when in fact it is plain creepy. More specifically the Black Mirror episode of "Be Right Back" presents this perfectly: in a relationship, the male dies and it is completely normal for the female to talk to a computer that mastered his language and later end up ordering a robotic version of his body.

Although Kyra and I's film opening doesn't have the same plot, we want to adopt the same creepy elements. I want to close the film opening with a group of people acting out something collectively that looks too normal but is truly alarming. This will give the viewers a fear we want to instill in them.
