Eleven: First Production Meeting

Today we had our first production meeting about our short film Eleven. We looked over our treatment that we came up with and the 25 word pitch that we originally had. As you can see from the picture there were a couple of mistakes in the overall plot of the film. Firstly we thought it would be a nice idea to use open framing to show different objects and people in the film. We also were concerned about the way that the child dealt with the situation at hand, as he is eleven years old we thought that the child would have a limited understanding of relationship at this point of his adolescent life, so we have the child see some intimate moments between his mother and his father at the start of the film so that he can later on connect these different moments, and with his paranoia thinks intervene. Another idea that we had was the way that the child begins to intervene, we thought that if the child sees the father give or do something to his mother at the beginning he can replicate this at the end in an attempt to stop this from happening. These were just some of the idea that we discussed during this meeting, our treatment is on the sheet.
