Group Agreement
You need to clarify who is going to take on which roles in the core production team.
You must also complete a group agreement document which clarifies your roles and responsibilities.
A Shared Vision
You need to start creating a group vision and start developing your creative intentions. It is much easier to develop a shared vision using images. So you need to create a collaborative slideshow / mood-board with images of:
- Characters
- Settings
- Props
- Costumes
- Colours
- Compositions
Take a copy of this slideshow and use it to compile all the inspirations and ideas that you have for your short film. Some of this will be completed individually the first two slides will be completed by the group
