Well, remember your 3rd year project, maybe go over it to remind yourself what you did. Also, try and get a feel for the project you're up for, look around some of the literature about it and just look like you have an idea about what you're talkign about
mine was informal... we just went to the students union had a pint of beer and chatted about how crap dealing with commercial organisations were. He did mention he was giving me the phd quite early on if i wanted it.
So the message is - there is such a thing as an informal chat. Most academics are not formal people and they are not great dealing with people. If you relax, they will too and probably like you more for it.
