Main task finalizations

Today was the first day back from the christmas holidays and Opal and I discussed with our teacher the change in the script that I had came up with over the christmas holidays. Our teacher suggested a few adjustments in camera angles and we decided to create the reflection of the character 'Kim' to be bubbly and happy and so in a sense she will be unconventional as in most thrillers characters tend to hold 'moody' and reserved personality traits. I feel that as costume goes she should be wearing either pink or purple pajamas in order to reflect her femininity and also as a way to emphasize her unconventional personality traits. When I showed my teacher the storyboards and the scene of her waking up to bath which then leads her to go out, we decided that this idea is a bit illogical and unrealistic. So we decided to make her have a dog and the lack of her being able to locate her dog once she awakens from sleep is what makes her go out and look for him.
Opal and I have also been thinking about possible actors for the characters who we have named Kim,Rachel,Amy and Alex. Once we are able to clarify the actors we would do casting exercises to make sure that they are able to deliver. Before next lesson Opal and I would have written up a dialogue for the two characters Kim and Alex and also the neighbor Amy (who only really says a couple of lines). By next lesson I also would have completed the storyboards and added more detailed annotations.
