Main task planning

Since last week I have changed the color scheme of my website simulation from red and black,grey to black and grey. I feel that this new color scheme is much more dark and dreary whereas the red color was much more likely to symbolize the horror genre, or death within horror films. I feel that changing the color to black makes it relate more to the subtlety that my preliminary task narrative consists of and allows me to be more flexible for the main task.
Today Opal and I discussed with our teacher a outline for the narrative of our main task film. We wanted to make it a psychological/action thriller it is quite different from films that our already out or should I say conventional narratives. It is important that through this film we show how psychological illnesses is demonstrated.
It starts with a girl running in a field, through editing we will slow this frame down. We also want to experiment with different camera angles so Opal and I want to do some tracking. As the woman featuring in this film is going to be in the photography profession so there is going to be a high angle of a woman lying on the floor with poured pills on the floor from this the audience can infer that she has taken an overdose. So far we are still working on the rest of the narrative but are feeling confident with this starting point.
