Midterm Connection (Week 5)

Image
~ Midterm Connection ~ Good morning! I just realized that I never showed you all me and Rachael's Midterm... You may all be thinking, "So what Eva, we don't care about your midterm-" WRONG! you totally should because it was the inspiration for this film (more like the original of Her Slow Disappearance )  We loved the concept and so did our class, however they all had a ton of feedback, mainly that we were focusing on the wrong things in the short time frame we had.

Project Plan/Storyline (Week One)

Project Plan/Storyline  The name of the "movie" is going to be Her Slow Disappearance. The story will revolve around a teenage girl named Sarah. Sarah is experiencing severe depression and to quell all of her intense emotions she submerges herself in drugs and alcohol, however the drugs will be more prevalently shown in the 2 minute movie beginning.  Story Board: First 3 panels depict the opening scene where Sarah is discovered dead in the shower after overdosing while panels 4-6, follow the beginning of a flash back of how the audience got to that moment with her lying on the shower floor. Panels 7-10 show Sarah discovering her usual drug ration is empty, in these scenes it will be vital for Rachael Kohler, the actor who plays Sarah, to show the extreme distress that Sarah feels in this moment of uncertainty. Following along to panels 11-18, you will see boxes either highlighted in pink or orange . The two colors represent different ending/storylines me and my partner were ...
