18/11/08 meeting

In our meeting we proposed our idea to Ms Blackborow, and she pointed out some problems that she had with it.
She told us that it was too complicated for a two minute scene, and that it was not thought through properly. As a result of these criticisms, the sequence has undergone these changes, decided by the group:

• No flashbacks.
• The whole sequence will be kept in real time.
• The sequence will start with a gunshot, and end with the protagonist's body disappearing.
• Sirens start with gunshot at the beginning- the issue was raised that the police wouldn't know that the gun would be fired before it happened, but we decided that the sirens were part of the "lawless" theme of the town/city.
• There should be more interaction between the characters- the antagonist kicking the protagonist's body, etc.
• We should show more of the antagonist's escape; more use of Match On Action and continuity.
• The Voice-over needs to have background.
• The zoom was questioned, and we now may not use it.

Also, we will be making a physical storyboard using post-it notes, so we can now have an easily editable timeline.

Also in the meeting we looked at potential costumes, and found a good beige trenchcoat and dark brown hat. A possible source of blood put forward was getting animal blood from the butcher's.

Finally, the time for our test shoot was set as 3-7pm on Sunday, with a possible further shot in the daylight on Monday.

We are extensively rethinking the sequence.
