Blog 42: The Aftermath

  The Aftermath

    Hey guys! How're we feeling right nowwww. This is going to be the semi-final blog. As we are approaching to the end of this journey, I want to write about something different. Have you ever wonder, what is the aftermath of the film opening? Honestly, I've never really thought about it before. As I'm sitting here and tell you, we should do a little planning. 

    First off, we need to do a little brainstorm. I was thinking about something... SURPRISE!!!!
Another plot twist? The storyline could connect the scene where Gigi blow off the candle, it turns into smoky title "Eighteenth" and bring us back to the day where she' still a baby. A baby still confusing and exploring what's going on her own birthday. As the audience might not know, within the film opening, Gigi was celebrating alone due to the absent of her dad. We might question, where is the mom? The truth is her mom already passed away. That's the answer for Gigi's black family picture. Her mom was never mentioned in the film opening. The flashback will take place on a rainy day, we will utilize the crane camera movement to take a bigger picture of Gigi's house—a lovely one. The camera will move closer to her window and the rain gradually slow down. Through the window, the baby Gigi is sleeping on her own little princess bed. The scene will shift from the outside of the window into a close up of Gigi's mom gently twisting the door knob. 

      Creek...Creek...Creek... her mom gradually enter the room and open up the curtain. She looked beyond the window glass as the rain dripping down. Within, she silently prayed for the clouds cease their weeping and the sun to break through. In silence, she sat down next to Gigi, slightly tap her hand and whisper into her ear "It's time to wake up my baby". Within a moment, Gigi slowly open her eyes and was not so happy to be awake. After that, she and her mom got ready for the day. They then simply went down stair together. (As this point, Gigi is only 3 years old, she has no idea that today is her birthday) A smokey burnt smell strike into their nose. Gigi and her mom was not happy!
