Script Development and Moving on with the Pre-production.

After many different versions of the script, myself and Laura kept going round in circles about ideas for the script, particularly the dialogue. I spent a fair while on the structure, so for the most part that stayed the same.

Because we spent so long on the script, Laura decided to break the script down into a visual structure, using elements of the different versions of the scripts. This is so we can continue with the bulk of the preproduction and come back to the script later for improvements.

Because of this, I took the version that Laura produced and spent a couple of days going through and developing a rough shot list. I then relayed this over to Shahid so he could start on the storyboard for the film. As this is a longer film and there is only one of Shahid, he is only doing the complicated shots and the ones I specifically asked for.

Also, after our group tutorial with Kathleen which gave us a lot of references to use when continuing to develop the story, Kathleen suggested I write the film as a short story, which I am more familiar with, and then later pointed me in the direction of the Creative Writing lecturer for some advice on the development of the story. I'm sure this will be very helpful.
