Meeting up with Bikram

Today I met up with up with my partner Bikram, and we discussed in more depth and detail our treatment. We talked about the ideas that we had in our head and thought about different narritives in which we could incorporate them into our opening sequence. We also talked about the overall look we want our film to have as we both were thinking to portray Britain in a raw and gritty style however we both differed in levels of grittiness. We also looked at the film My name Is joe, and generated some ideas from there as to how we could introduce our story and that is when we decided that we would use an AA meeting to introduce our protagonist. however we thought that we needed something else in order to be different and we couldn't really decide what would be the driving force for our protagonist and make him go to the AA meeting. We watched a clip from the peep show although it is a sit com we needed to see what an AA Meeting consists of and the kind of props and lighting systems we coulde use. By thinking about this we were able to think and work out a possible location were we could film this scence. Also we found that the life experiences and their personal reasons as to why they drink are a good way of introducing the themes in a film. Overall we talked and generated a lot of idea between us and I am more confident that we have a secure, realistic and unique idea.
