Pre-production Log: Mettings

The first meeting let me get a second opinion on some of the casting options and if they were comfortable wit the casting i had given the actors that attended the meeting along with helping with scheduling, seeing which days they were free to do the scenes their involved with

The second meeting was a basic check up on when everyone i needed for the next scenes where free for filming and such which gave me an idea of scheduling to for everyones free time

Now having an idea of what the scenes and what they would include i then knew what i would need for certain scenes to make them seem realistic and the way i want for example fake blood or actors to spit out during the fight scenes and going through this allowed me to see what i would need and the cost of the props and such
