Under lots of email reminders and constant prompting, Justin has finally written us a two page long script. It has revealed non of the plot, and he did not use any of the notes that I gave him on actor's credo. We were extremely dissapointed at him, and at this level of commitment, and we have decided that he not at all suitable to be director.
Jing, Justin and I have rotated roles, originally, Jing as editor, Justin as script writer and me as sound editor. Jing and Justin was going to swap when Justin suddenly realised that he doesn't know a thing about editing, so I became the editor. Justin became sound editor, and Jing is script writer and director. Without any extra unneccesary help, Jing has already re written half of the script in much greater detail and with defined personalities between the characters.
Joyce and I brainstormed ideas for filming locations. At first, we decided that we were going to film at the pagoda which is in the middle of our cross country route. We thought it was a brilliant idea because it was secluded and unusual and not alot of people would have thought of that, BUT, we had to consider the reality of it at the end and realised that it wasn't feasible. First, we had to think of safety. The path to the location was crooked and steep. If one of us trips and gets injured, who can help us? What about the equipments, what if they got damaged and broke? The Lighting was also really hard to control because it is outdoors, and we also did not think that our time management would be good enough because we were thinking of filming it during the magic hour. It is only one to two hours long. Once it passes, it passes. After considering all of the above factors, we have decided to film in my car park in my dad's car. The lighting is stark and harsh. There are lots of walls around and also a stairwell. We thought that it would be perfect for a crime scene where the murderer comes out from behind one of the walls and escapes into a stairwell.
