Cath is right. The script, at the moment, is the most important thing. Danny apparently made a start on the script last night, but said he thought he needed some plot. More than that, he will need some help writing it. I recommended he download the script writing software CeltX, which is an invaluable program for anyone trying to write scripts at a reasonable speed.
I think what we should do is, at our next meeting, which might be on Friday, discuss the script, and try to plot it. By that I mean, write down what key events should happen in each scene, and decide on key bits of dialogue. Once that's sorted out, two or three of us can try and work together to help Danny on the actual shooting script, working in CeltX. Then we'll show a first draft to the whole group, who can discuss it and suggest improvements or additions.
I might also write some character treatments before then to work from. They will help us decide on the characters' motivations, and what they might or might not do in certain situations. Once we've got most of a first draft, we can begin scouting for locations and casting.
So that's our main game plan, really. I told Max I was free on Friday, and he suggested Friday might be good for him, also. However, when I spoke to Scott about it, he said he and Max might be shooting their pairs project/film. So it's up in the air at the moment, but I'll be speaking to Mr. Voyse today, and hopefully we'll clear it all up. Rest assured, we will be meeting soon. All of us.
Ambiguity, be gone!
