Pre Production Reflection

My group consisted of myself, Kausar Uddin, Josh Samuels and Adam Doogan. After I formulated a rough idea of what film I wanted to make, we all pitched what we thought could have improved it from there, conversing about such things as to what extent of a relationship the lead characters have within the narrative.
