The Making of "Meredith"



"Meredith" was a short created recently for a Writing & Directing the Short Film Class.  The only requirements were a five minute length, two characters, and a script written by someone else.  As always, you learn a few things on each project, so today I share with you what I learned this time out.

Original script, "Reaction" by Chris Henderson
Rewritten script, "Meredith" by Chris Henderson & Scott Eggleston

Using title cards is not only a good way to cover some types of editing on your film, but it's also a creative way to get past the "having no money" thing on a bigger indie film.

Though I don't think it's that big a deal nowadays, it used to cost extra money to put credits over picture. A little film history lesson ;)
