Major Project Unit: Project Update

The script is now finished. And from that we have a prop list which I'm working my way through. It looks like Ebay is our best bet for cheap props. At this time of year, there's not a chance of finding actual poppies so we're getting some fake ones and using a mixture of fake and real red petals from other flowers. I'll be advertising for larger props such as the mattress soon. With the props, I'm making sure that they all have a specific look and they're not just random objects, we want them to look a certain way, even though it is a simple room. 

Lauren and I have been around town dropping posters off to places such as dance schools for the casting. We also dropped some at Stepping Stone Studio as potentially artists and filmmakers would go there and see our posters. 

I've now got to do some storyboarding and figure out the style of shots and lighting set ups. We visited Andy from CATF course and we have flats and a window which we can borrow, we've put posters up there as well. I'll also figure out how we're going to transport, paint, and put together the set. We'll probably visit the studio again and give Fergus more information and plan where the set will be and what lights we need. I'll be using my own adaptor hopefully so I can use my own lenses, which means we can be more flexible with the amount of light we use. 

Our first auditions are tomorrow, we've planned some techniques and Lauren's scheduled the day with each actor/actress.
