Given the importance of the preproduction stage, and the amount of time I have to do this project, I’m somewhat concerned that the major holes in my story seem to be getting bigger and fuzzier at the moment rather than clearer and cohesive. Looking through the Tool video clips was interesting but hasn’t seemed to help. I feel stuck in a box.
The parts that are troubling me are the two areas of conflict and their resolution. I had one thought that the boy could be consumed by a clock and has to work his way out; this idea seems to have promise. And I am still determined to have some sort of monster in the piece, and a treant (though I am less attached to that idea).
