After meeting with Mr. Gvozden, we began working on details of the film. Firstly we realized we needed to go move in depth with our characters. Though the conflict in our story seemed to be a key difference in our two main characters, it was unclear what the difference was. We needed to fully flesh-out our characters to make sure that everything still felt authentic as we added a second layer to the story. We tried to focus on the before and after the story which really helped us. We also started working on the lookbook. When we were sharing notes after out meeting we decided we wanted out character's outfits to represent their difference in personality. We've been compiling pictures and videos so that we can keep track of the colors we'd like to incorporate as well.

On November 13 we met with one of our mentors to get feedback on our script and advice for our next steps for the next two months. Here are the notes from the meeting.
- For Actors check with local theaters (call, email, get in contact). Use someone else's network of actors. Look at places like Children's Theatre in Annapolis. Movie Visuals - Create Lookbook, Color palettes, Outfits (Warm character cool character) - Take screencaps from other movies/tv shows to find look of movie Screenplay - What are we trying to say with the interactions between the two friends? - Keep the weight of the conversation - Positive: Characters feel like real people, banter is entertaining, warm and realistic - End where they turn on each other is abrupt, add more build up? Depends on what the actors do. Is it antagonism or banter? - Every component of the story should be born of the original pitch, hit on everything. - Does everything fit into the basic/original idea - Redefine plot goal and emotional goals so the film has somewhere to go and something to build up to. - Pacing is good but every second should count - Define what separates the two characters and how that creates conflict (maybe it's perspective?) - Don't be afraid to tackle current issues as well. - It's ok to send small updates to keep people updated and to get quick opinions Fall Goals: `1. Rework the script so it can fit into elevator pitch 2. Send updates to our mentors 3. Decide on final equipment 5. Start creating visuals of other movies to capture theme and style 4. Contact local theaters to try and find actors |
