Film Opening Story Update

Due to much research and planning along with audience feedback, I have decided to change my story to another idea to one that i had planned as well in my prezi post. This story focuses on a teenager who must take steps to prevent the end of the world over the course of a week when he wakes one morning plagued by apocalyptic images and events in his mind. The opening will offer me more content to include and i will be able to reach the 2 minute run time and produce a more exciting end result with interesting shot types, locations and story elements. The film title has also been changed to Tangent.

Location Scouting

This image features a field that is a part of Lee Valley Regional Park. This is where my film will open and will introduce the main character.

These two images show the areas where i will film the walking scenes that fall after the scenes in the field where the character comes across some strange events.

This image shows the house where the final moments in the opening will be filmed.They will feature a shot from the outside going into the kitchen where another strange event happens. The opening willed wight he character shutting the bedroom door.
