Opening Idea

 We had some time to think and finally came up with a clear idea of what we want the opening to look like. We want to incorporate a detective board to illustrate our credits and use the pictures to bring the audience into the scene. 

The film is about people who are going missing, no one knows how, and the people in their lives trying to find them and figure out what happened to them. They end up discovering that it is a monster that is killing the people who are going missing, the monster being revealed at the end of the film. The main protagonist of the film will be the detective taking on the case, the detective board shown in the opening portraying that. 

The opening is the initial search party for the first missing person followed by the disappearing of the second. For our opening itself, we want to show a background of the missing people and their disappearances as well as introduce the detective's board and if there's enough time, the detective themselves. We want it to take place at night so we need to film either really early in the morning or late at night. We think earlier is better because of the foggy environment. We also need to create different props (missing posters, etc.) to make it as realistic as possible. Finally, we did created a mood board to capture the overall aesthetic we wanted the opening to have which you can see above.
