The film's planning is going relatively well so far. Our current plan is to shape the film around the protagonist's memories of certain stages in their life. We want to explore how memories can be deceitful and not exactly how you remember - however, we want to keep this relatively masked to ensure it still keeps that Surrealist element. This point should not be too obvious otherwise that does feel like it's defeating the whole point really.
We want to film in various areas, hopefully utilizing some areas around the school but perhaps also filming in our houses if needs be. We want to show the various important locations throughout our protagonist's lives, showing their stages of life, using various editing techniques to almost transport our main character through these various stages of life. The blending of memories will also be used to create some relevant but seemingly random imagery. It creates absurd images, but if the spectator can apply an interpretation to it, the film can make some sense. We will need a few cast members. We've got someone to play the protagonist but we want to get some sort of 'bully-like' character perhaps to represent the more violent or negative memories of his life. We haven't found someone to play this part yet, but we're hoping to get someone before we start filming. So overall the film is going quite well. It still needs some work in terms of a structure to the absurdity to ensure that the point is successfully put forward but this can be sorted out in the coming days.
