Our second meeting’s agenda was to discuss the storyline, actors and plot, and how the film trailer would be set out. All team members were present at the meeting; this includes Jordan Kelman, Aisling Byrne, Thomas O’Brien and Bethany Griffin.
The meeting began with a discussion about the current storyline which is 'a man and a woman meeting which is followed by 3 dates. After getting drunk, they wake up the next morning to find themselves married. They then set out to get the marriage divorced or annulled as they are not ready for marriage but find themselves falling in love instead.' After deliberation we decided that this would no longer be a suitable storyline for our group to take as it, would be difficult to try to represent ourselves as old enough to be married and to make the marriage and divorce scenes seem realistic.
As a group we then had a vote of which storyline we prefered out of the remaining two that were discussed in the first meeting. Which was a choice between a John Tucker Must Die style of film using a female lead instead or a film with lesbian/gay leads.
We had eventually decided together that a John Tucker Must Die style film, as this film is set in a school it would be easier for us to film it realistically as we already have a suitable location. It would also be a more appropriate film choice as some actors may feel uncomfortable in a homosexual role, if that is not what there used to.
Our discussion then turned to possible cast members. We had set-up posters and advertisements around the school advising people that we will be holding auditions in search of our lead roles. From these posters we had recieved 12 applications from willing candidates. After looking over these carefully and judging people based on their individual characteristics and we had shortlisted a possible 7 candidates for the role which we will then be auditioning on the 6th October 2011.
