This week, we were placed in a lockdown on two separate occasions. This made it difficult for my partner and me to meet up in person, so today we decided to FaceTime and create a mood board for our film opening.
The first thing we wanted to figure out was our character's name. We know that she is going to have a determined, hardworking personality so we wanted her name to reflect that. I went onto the internet and looked up some names that could roughly translate to hard-working. A name that we immediately both agreed upon was Amelia, which means hard-working in German.
Next, we designed one of the rooms Amelia will be cleaning in our opening so we could get an idea of the vibe we were going for regarding the mise-en-scene when we get closer to filming. After this quick design, we worked on Amelia's mood board. We know that since she is going to be cleaning during the opening, her clothes need to match that activity. We decided that our character will have her hair in a ponytail and be wearing a plain t-shirt and jeans.
Additionally, we changed our idea for Amelia's goal. Instead of it being a hotel, it will be more of an inn, as we felt that a hotel is too large for the personality we've been building for Amelia. We were inspired by the Dragonfly, and inn from the show, Gilmore Girls.
