This week my planning has been heavily focused on character development, since the main character will be the emotional center of the entire film opening. Because the project is only two minutes long, I have to make sure the audience understands who the character is almost immediately. I mostly keep in mind the difference between the interactions in her real life vs the day dream sequences. My main character, Jane keeps to herself and is often fidgety and nervous. Her wardrobe and outward appearance will be discussed more in my next post. Below are reference photos for Jane in thr beginning of the project.
I am also considering how Jane changes, even slightly, within the short opening. While a full transformation is unrealistic in two minutes, I will still hint at her internal conflict or desire for something more. Small details such as her body language and expressions while looking at the alternate version of herself can make emotion more clear. Through the short arc I want to make Jane's jealousy and resentment towards the alternate more clear, almost reminiscent to 2024's The Substance. The transition will be a from wistful and hoping to more bitter through the film. Possible mostly through acting from Jane. Below are reference photos for Jane by the end of the film.
