There were two meetings before christmas.
In the first meeting the script we were given was for a film about a nuclear evacuation, with the main characters escaping through the woods. This script had a lot of potential for foley and atmospherics so we agreed to it.
In the second meeting we were told that the script had changed and the group members had changed. The script was now set in 1-2 locations with little foley but a lot of dialogue instead.
We decided that we would still do this as it would give us some vital experience into the mechanics of recording sound on location and editing clips to the clapper board.
