Twilight Lesson 2

Wednesday, March 18, 2009

Catherine had the script done according to XiangYi and my portal line. She did not change anything in the end. She added a story the it so in the beginning, the villain and the protagonists are introduced.

I drew a table of times in the week so that everyone could tick or cross when they are free and when they are not free. Our schedules are very bad, beacuse nobody is free all at once. They all clash with each other.

We decided to put our schedule aside and think of loations first. I have suggested the IFC patio for the introduction of characters, becuase it is desolated and people rarely go there. I also think that it suits the mood because there are no tall buildings around, so gives a feeling of erieness at night.

Catherine again, did not like that idea because it was too far from her home. She wanted to do it under her home where there is a bend in the road and a lampost where the villian can dissapear through. Nobody in the group objected to avoid any arguements so we agreed in the end.

Problems / difficulties:
Again, it was the communication. This time, we did talk, but still there was a problem. It was very hard to talk to Catherine, talking to her was just like walking on eggshells. She is easily offended, not open to other people's ideas, and wants to do everything her own way. We would just have to cope and listen then.

I found the script very vague, therefore, making my job storyboarding extra tough. There are no directions, instructions, or shots whatsoever to tell me what she wants. I have consulted her on that matter, and she said that it was my job to figure all those out. I have to differ, but I did not voice it to avoid any further arguments.
