Pre-Production:

Brainstorm activity:
Topics we discussed: 

-Hangover/being drunk
-Drug Dealer
-Time travel.

What we discussed for film idea:

At first we developed on a topic from which to base our film on. The idea was introduced by Thomas Stowell and was to give the film a theme like the movie "Hangover". The idea was that the main character had been drinking the previous night where as he wakes for lessons he encounters many obstacles to get to lesson on time as well as his obvious drunken condition. After this we considered that it may be a bit bland and straight forward. Connor Brown introduced the idea of making more out of the box by making the main character a target in  drug deal where he may get in trouble and has to give the money back to the boss in time. After this I had introduced the idea maybe of using time travel, a bit like Doctor Who or Steins Gate. This idea was accepted and as a whole , we agreed on maybe tying this with something like the drugs or a ill condition where the character gets ill and he has to travel into the future to find a cure.

Final Idea for film:

For the final idea we agreed for the movie to follow one main character on his quest to get a cure for a really bad illness he has fell victim to. Along the way he will encounter a way to time travel and by doing so will set off to seek for a cure whilst still ill. On his way to find this cure a set of different situations will impede him/slow him down from reaching his goal of becoming healthy in time before he dies.

Characters in Movie:

For the time being the main character will be the terminally ill protagonist who will be finding the cure.
Further characters will likely include some kind of antagonist, or maybe some kind of time travel offender cops.

Location:
We were thinking that for the location of the time travelling and events could be in the woods, and after he has traveled in time the woods may no longer exist.

Props:
The Main prop that we shall use in this movie shall be the time machine itself and the cure.
For the tie machine I came up with the idea of using a microwave machine where the set time on the machine is equivalent to hundreds of year.
We have not yet discussed what the possible cure could be.

Each of our roles in this movie:
It has come to our knowledge that Thomas Stowell Would be comfortable doing the filming role in out movie. However we have not finalized on who will do what. Personally I have a feel for maybe doing editing. Connor Brown is persuaded by the idea of being the main person in creating the story arc of our film.
