Shot list

SO... after recapping and having a study/lock in session with Daniela, we fully solidified our plot, read over the script we have so far, AND made a shot list (impressive I know)

Also... I think I was tweaking because we established the second character is in fact NOT a maid but an engineer! We originally started with the maid idea, and slowly led over to the engineer one, because it seemed more fitting with the plot and all the aspects. She can come in and fix his memory bank whenever it overrides with malfunctions. It's also easy to establish a sense of intimacy if we make his technical working port thing at the back of his neck. 

I created a list of shots we want to gather to start off the film, and what we wrote out is about 2-3 minutes of the film so far. We plan to spend 2 full days filming, maybe another half day as well as we can't check out any equipment until Tuesday afternoon...

But so far so good!

Making this shot list made me realize how MUCH we have to plan out, and I am very stressed about it! But it really did help me out and establish a sense of everything we need to include for this to come out somewhat okay...
