Preparing to Film

To prepare for my film opening these are the elements I have started and thought about.

 Actors:
In this opening, I will be the only actor.

 Costumes:
Costumes are yet to be decided, but most likely be some kind of casual wear.

Props:
I will be using newspaper clippings, different pictures and letters, and more may be determined later.

Locations:
All scenes will be shot at my house.

Dates and Times;
There's no set date or time, however, they may change throughout the opening. 

Scripts:
So far there is no written script because there will be no actual speaking involved.

Film equipment:
To film my opening I will be using a standard camera.
