Film Writing Post 14

The group has decided against my idea to utilize the 3D text for the oblivious reason that we should keep things simple especially since we are falling behind in terms of our schedule. Instead we use 2D text which will be much simpler and less time consuming.

We are still yet to allocate the two scenes that we will shoot in the coming weeks and as far as for our protagonist, the character will be gender-less as the best performer will be chosen to play the part. I think this is good decision as the character had no real gender restriction to begin with so the end result will be that we get the best person for the role.
As for location scouting, Michael thinks that his house may be a good place to shoot a few of the indoor scenes so we will check the place out this coming Tuesday. I read the script a few times and for me there are two scenes that can be visually interesting as well as relatively short in terms of time to capture. These are the fight between the protagonist and the love interest right at the beginning of the script as well as the scene where the protagonist is trying to read his/her own subtitles. The chosen scenes powerful and emotionally charged scenes that can be accomplished with the little time we have left. The first one will introduce our character’s insecurities with the love interest leaving him/her alone for week and the second scene will showcase his/her downward spiral. In this scene the character will start to question his/her own sanity as well if he/she is being truthful to themselves. I will propose these to the group and see if they agree with my choices and if not I guess I’ll have to find other scenes but since we will be filming indoors there are only so many options to choose from.
