meeting with Ben/ xmas to do

As we were breaking up for christmas, it would be a month or so before we would see each other again, so I wanted to have a meeting with Ben to clarify where we were at with everything, but also what was going to happen over the Christmas break , and where we should be once we meet again.

The first point of discussion was obviously the script; with Grace now fully on board, I think both Ben and I were happier about where the script would be going, and I was much more confident that it would actually get done.

We then spoke about what everyone in the crew could do over christmas , in terms of research, to give them a better understanding of the meaning of the film but also the look and feel of the type of film Ben was hoping to make.

Finally, we spoke about locations. I spoke briefly about my concerns with building a set; Ben had raised it as a possibility, however seeing how our art director struggled during Passing, I felt that building a set ( which is a huge and daunting task for anyone) might be too much, and not produce results that we would want. Ben agreed, and we discussed other location possibilities in Sheffield. Ben had turned down my favourite location, Bloo 88 due to the poor sound. This meant that I needed to find a new one asap. As I would be at home, which is pretty far from Sheffield in the south, I would be unable to visit any until I returned in January. We agreed that we would both do some research into locations and if there were any that we both felt were good potential spots, if he could, Ben would scout them out.
