Filming Location/ Brainstorming/ Update

Hey blog it's Kat! Sooo we have 1000%  decided on the apartment idea. One of our main concerns was finding possible filming locations but one of my group members Ale, has an Aunt who has an apartment in Miami. She gave us permission to use her apartment and film there. That solved a big issue but we also ran into a problem with the filming equipment. CBTV will not let us borrow filming equipment unless we know how to properly use it.... Don't get me wrong I know how to use a camera but they have advanced equipment that none of us have ever used. So we gonna go around asking our friends if they have a simpler camera that we can borrow.

The Rom-Com series "Emily in Paris", uses a similar concept in their first episode. It isn't their opening but it is used to introduce a new character.

For some reason I can't watch the video, hopefully, you can but just in case here is a link for the meet-cute. The scene makes the tension between the characters obvious and hints to the audience that there will be more to their story in the future. Our female lead Chloe will be looking for her apartment and mistake it for our male lead Justin's apartment. We chose the apartment as our meeting spot because we believe it meets the criteria of a "film opening". It doesn't overshare to our audience, but it allows them to infer or wonder about what is supposed to happen next. We want our viewers to leave watching our opening, feeling that they need to see what happens next with the two neighbors. That intriguing suspense is the feeling we want to portray.
