Hey all! Welcome back to my blog. It has come the time for my last planning post, and I'm very excited to soon be starting fully producing my opening. For this post, I'm going to be focusing on planning out a very important aspect of my opening. In the beginning of my opening, Nicky lies on her bed scrolling through TikTok, where her feed is filled with all sorts of witchy content. This makes it clear to audiences that it's an interest of hers and a trend among teens. The plot of the overall film is centered on how witchy things and tarot cards have become a trend, so including this part in the opening is vital to setting up that the trend is being spread through social media, hence targeting teens. I thought it would be smart to plan how I was going to go about making these TikToks and what they would consist of before I started filming.
My plan is to show Nicky scrolling on her phone without having the phone screen ever on camera. That way, in creating the TikToks, I don't need to produce separate visuals. I thought I could record audios and add them during editing so the audience can hear the TikToks Nicky is watching, getting the message across without the need for the creation of actual TikToks. I plan to include two TikToks, which I will outline below, but I may add more later on.
TikTok #1
The first TikTok will be a TikTok centered around TikTok's newer feature, the TikTok Shop.
Tiktok #2
For the second TikTok, I plan to indicate that Nicky had looked something up (through typing sounds) and make it clear she used the TikTok search feature.
Nicky, after searching up tutorials on how to use these tarot cards she just bought, stumbles across a video explaining how to do a reading. I will create the audio for this video by having a friend read a script on how a proper tarot reading should go (cleansing with incense, shuffling, then a placement of 3 cards). This helps transition from the part of the opening where she is merely scrolling to the point where she actually starts practicing witchcraft, doing a tarot reading.
