Thought Organizer

Thought + Organizing = New Ideas

After figuring out our story and gathering our ideas relatively quickly, my partner and I started to wonder if we were missing a key detail. In order to best tackle this we decided to make a thought organizer. We thought this would help us visualize our project and ensure that we weren't missing any key details.

Did it Help?

Overall Leandro (my partner) and I would both agree that the thought organizer helped us. We were able to come up with some cool new ideas in this brainstorming process. This also helped to reassure that we had the same vision and end goal for the movie opening.

Our New Ideas

Like mentioned previously, we came up with a couple unique ideas while creating this spall organizer/ mood board. They include but are not limited to:

• Having our movie title be in the style of a license plate. We would also like to have a shot of the actual car's license place match cut to the title.
• Putting the credits subliminally on items in the car. EX: "Director-Stephanie Boyarsky" is written on an old Coca Cola bottle. (future blog post about this soon!)
• We want to have a shot of multiple air fresheners piled up on the rear view mirror to symbolize that character's life is overwhelming.
• We also thought of a shot of the character parking messily into the parking lot to further show he is going through a rough mental state.
• One topic still up for debate is whether or not we should use a professional camera. We have a camera available to us, however, we are not that familiar with how to use it. The shots may be better but we don't want to risk losing any film material or having trouble getting the shots. We are unfamiliar with using real camera while we are pros at the iPhone camera.
