Film Club 3/19/10

The meeting last week last week was pretty successful as we were able to finalize the characters that we hope to have in the movie. We pretty much know what they're gonna do, and we've made some very good progress on the script, and hopefully will be done with it soon. As the ideas behind the characters have been finalized and they seem rather solid. We also finally named our main character, and we wanted him to have a relatively common name, but not so common it's cliche. So we settled on Jack. And we were sure we didn't want him to have a last name, because we felt that a last name would merely give the character too much of an identity, when the whole point of the story was to keep his identity fuzzy and keep him questioning everything. We want the whole situation to somehow have this unreal sense to the whole thing, and to sustain a feeling of mysteriousness of the whole experience.
I feel that I have grown tremendously through this experience, as I have definitely learned much more about movies and film through this process, though there is undoubtedly still room for improvement. I also feel that I can look at movies in a different way now.
