Catholicism;
As all of our production team admitted that we did not know alot of information around the subject of Catholicism, we have decided that we will need to read up around the subject before writing the treatment.
Character Names;
We decided that to further the symbolism and representation of the religious theme and genre, that we should choose names that were of religious meaning and symbolism.

After thinking up all of the ideas that we think should be included into our treatment, another idea which was brought up at the end of the meeting was whether we decided to have the brother as a character or to present the brother as a ghost. We all seemed to like this idea, however, we all also agreed that there is a large percentage of risk into the 'ghost brother', so we decided to also pursue the other ideas as a backup and just in case the footage did not make sense.
