Pre-Production

Harry and I went through all our film ideas and I wrote down some notes so we could get some sort of order and an idea on what we would have in each scene. Later on I typed up and fleshed out the notes in neat and created a screenshot script so everyone knows the basics of what we are doing when we start shooting.
