JUST KIDDING the script is not done...

So, WE DID THINK it was done, but in fact, it was not. We met up with our teacher to just run her by the short film and how it may be a little longer than 5 minutes. However, when we told her the idea about the seasons and how we're only doing three out of all four seasons: summer, fall, and winter, she highly discouraged only using three seasons and insisted that we incorporate all 4 seasons, she said that would most likely be the biggest critique of our short film. So, we will now be switching the ending to spring instead of winter and replacing winter with the point of view of the female protagonist. 

Honestly, I think this will only make the film better, my only fear is that it'll be too long for the teacher's liking or for Cambridge's liking. But, I am really confident in this piece and think there is nothing we can take out, everything fits perfectly. 

After the fall scene where the male protagonist sees the female protagonist with her boyfriend, comes winter, we came up with the idea to incorporate more of her side, since the fall season was mostly the male protagonist's (HOWIE) side. I also think it a great idea since in the beginning it's purely a third-person point of view where it is very neutral, and as the film goes on, we get to learn more about the characters. 

And since we are adding the idea of the film being structured by seasons, we would like to use title cards every time there's a change just to give context for viewers of time and place. 

To make sure we are progressing instead of being stuck on the script, we began the shot list. Doing the shot list is a bit difficult just because there are sooo many shots, especially of dialogue and of all the different scenes. But I know we'll finish it in no time, it just won't be an easy breezy task.
