Ben Wilson has completed the script. It concerns a man reliving a devastating experience in his life through surreal imagining. Two versions of the same main character are used to explore this persons troubles and duplicity in the events that transpired but also to disorientate the audience, so that they may feel this man's confusion too. The film, mostly, takes place in one room, labeled as a gentlemen's club in the script, but through discussion with Ben (director) and Joeley (art director) it seems the set will be more basic, nearer to a bare room containing the main props. I find this decision at once a relief and exciting. The bareness to the room obviously makes the organisation aspect easier but also I think having the scene set in a more abstract place will add to the film's subconscious-ness. The room, imagined dark red, is stated to be lit like a Caravaggio, something which further excites me as the lighting in his paintings is very moody and dramatic, something I hope to replicate with the uses of the lighting equipment.
Initial storyboarding has been completed, I have made a rough draft of the whole of the film and how I want the shot flow to look like. Next is to take this initial storyboard plan to the rest of the group to finalise shots and put them onto an 'official' storyboard.
