Today we
met with Shirong to discuss her role in our film. We pitched a key scene in
which we would like her character be naked, distressed and muddy. We were
pleased to find that Shirong was open to the scenes. We made it clear that the
confronting elements of the scene would be completely discussed and approved by
the other actors and their parents.
The idea is
that this dramatic and intense scene will provide an extreme counterpoint to a
character that is otherwise quite, reserved and well behaved. We want to signal
to the audience early on that this character has a great trauma hiding under a
quiet exterior. Shirong already has an intriguing quietness that compels you to
lean in and look more closely, and listen more carefully.
