So on 2nd January as per planned we held a meeting including our teacher for his approval of the script and any changes that might need doing.
First he told us to make improvements to the way each character is introduced or what kind of personality they had. Then he told us to decide among ourselves who would be doing what task. So it was decided that I'd be the Director since I mostly came up with the script and I'd also be the editor since I was much more experienced. And it also meant the barrier of having an editor trying to match whatever's in the head of the director would immediately be overcome.
Then he told us to also decide who would be responsible for what equipment.
I volunteered to get a camera stand since I was going to purchase one anyways. The other two said they'd bring their phones and would try to bring a DSLR though it wasn't guaranteed.
The last thing he suggested was to try and bring some kind of historical or today recognized reference into this so the audience can engage with it instead of going into it blind and not having any clue as to what it could be about.
Its the memories of someone else in his head. Now who could be so important as to be hunted for said memories. And its a horror film. So maybe a killer.
And my mind for some reason sprung to Jack The Ripper. A name which existed in my head but I didn't know details about. So I just suggested that, he was fine with it, so we were good to go.
He then told us to assign different jobs to do to each person. The jobs being
Location scouting, Actor recruiting, Moodboard, Storyboard, and Prop/Costume preparation.
And we got to business. Or rather we'll get to business. In February. Because our Mid Year exams were postponed and so we'll be occupied with doing that for the next 3 weeks.
