Hello again!
As the research continues, I have put a lot of thought into how we are going to actually execute the filming process of this film opening. We have found an actress to play the main character and believe she is perfect for the film. In addition, we will be working with voiceovers to create a dynamic piece.
But now, we have daunting task of finding a location to film, costumes to fit the time period, and props to help further engage the audience in the story. Mise-en-scène is the name of the game.
In terms of costumes, I have found inspiration in some pictures I gathered on this fantastic website showing life at the Japanese internment camps.
To be completely committed to bringing this historical event to the present time, our actress will be wearing a collared shirt underneath a sweater with a plaid skirt. (Pictures coming soon)
In terms of filming location, our opening scene will be near a fence similar to the one found in this picture:
Nick and I believe our high school's fence will be a good spot to replicate the Californian setting. This is not set in stone yet, but if all else fails and we don't find anything better, the school's fence will certainly work.
Here are some more pictures from website mentioned earlier that will be the basis for our set.
As you can see, the area is barren, dull, and just depressing.
As I brainstorm the Mise-en-scène, I grow more and more excited to begin filming this piece!
Next step? Background research to begin writing the script... Stay tuned!
