So what's newest on the journey to creating an original psychological thriller opening scene? Well, for starters, we have come up with the name for our production team: "De-Ranged Pictures." The reason for this is that, in addition to capturing the creepy essence of our motion picture, the name also serves as a play on words. De ranged could also be taken in a more literal aspect...such as 'not all over the place.' Regardless, our production company's name is catchy enough and frankly, quite irrelevant in the grand scheme of this project.
Next, our script is complete along with our casting! We used an online service called "writer's duet" to create the script and a rough outline of the screenplay. This service is efficient in the sense that it is really easy to differentiate between dialogue, actions, and shots, which made our job as novice screenwriters a helluva lot simpler. It might behoove us to attach a copy of the script for the opening scene in "Shattered," but it contains some major spoilers, and running along with the element of suspense that is prevalent in this blog as well as our film, we have yet to disclose this. *insert evil laugh.* However, we are glad to announce that Shanna Iglesias will be starring as our film's disturbed protagonist, Abigail, and Josh Prem will be featured as the voice of the nonexistent interviewer. We are sure that these actors have what it takes to do justice to our script, and truly encapsulate the creepy and unsettling vibes that De-Ranged Pictures is trying to convey through this piece of media.
Due to scheduling conflicts, we have yet to film. However, this is somehow fortuitous because it gives us the opportunity to find the perfect filming location: a secluded office space with a creepy ambiance. Other than that, the only materials we need to complete the setting are a big desk/table, two chairs, and a dusty mirror to hang on the wall. All of these set pieces are accounted for, and De-Ranged Pictures plans as of now to film within an office space at Nova Southeastern University's medical school building located in Davie Florida. This is subject to change, but will most likely wind up being our filming location. Filming is expected to be completed within two sessions: one shooting the focused interview aspect of the opening scene, and the other to shoot three tiny flashback snippets which will give the audience more background information regarding the protagonist's story.
And that's about it for now! Here's a clip from "The Dark Knight" featuring a creepy interrogation between Batman and the Joker. I included this scene in the blog for two reasons. 1) It has some elements that pertain to the scene we are about to create, along with fantastic script writing, acting, and mise-en-scene. 2) It's just downright genius filmmaking by Christopher Nolan...Enjoy! Stay Tuned for more from De-Ranged Pictures Presents, "Shattered."
