Pre-Production Unit: Pre-Production - Mike's Read Through & Suggestions

Mike read through the first draft of the script; as my Cinematographer it helps him to understand what the film is going to consist of and the kind of content he is going to be shooting.


This post also contains a list of every suggestion Mike has made towards the script or visual aesthetic of the film. It will be updated regularly.



These are his comments:

1. “First card scene can be cut down a bit.”

2. “I don’t see him as a contract killer but rather a muscle for hire/gangs”

3. “The first kill could potentially start from the actual kill rather than starting shortly before it.”

4. What if Sean is a patient and his doctor is the voice of reason [Vision]? House doctor who comes to see him?

This would be hidden in background.

5. Final scene hides the truth in plain sight: a reflection of vision holding a gun to his head can be seen in a mirror or something.

Suggestions:

1. The further into the film we go and the more it breaks, the less saturation there is in the shots: as we separate from the real.
