20.09.09 - Script Discussions

We again met up, this time for Two hours this Sunday. This was to carry on Pre-Production meetings.

The Ending - the failings of many stories is a intriguing main concept which then has filler. We are pleased with our beginning but it can only work if it has an ending that matches it. The answer has to be as fulfilling as the question is tanatalising.

We were thinkign of havign this whole experience as a dream sequence and that the protagonist is playign it over and over in his mind punishign himself. However this idea seems to not fit in witht he general direction of the peice, it is from outside the world.

We decided our peice didn't have enough story elements to construct an ending from. For example with 'Wthnail and I' they begin the film by talkign abotu their failing careers, so the ending (where Marwood makes his big break and abandons Withnail) is apart fo that world. We decided to intorduce the idea of a femme fatale. We would foreshadow thischarcter throughout the 5 minutes then rveal her to have manipulate this situation and repeats it.

By foreshadowign it makes the denoument more satisfyign, the foreshadowign working as clues. It also lends itself to repeat viewing.
