Casting • Casting will begin next week with audition tapes being filmed throughout. • We have a few actors in mind but we will be looking at the universities drama dept and other local agencies.
Transportation • Travel will be a mix of our own transport and public transport networks • Take our actors with us and the kit and providing catering and shelter at the locations • The shoot may be two to three days so these will have to be taken into consideration throughout development
Budget • At currant, we have no budget, a lot of the props, costume, transport will be paid by ourselves. • As this is, our actors will receive little or no pay
Equipment and Test Footage • We shall be using the JVC cameras (hopefully...) in which we have experience in the team using these cameras from other various projects. • The kit has yet to be booked for the dates. • Super8 camera is a possibility but with this effect becoming ‘too common’, still unsure.
Sound • We have a composer to create a soundtrack for the film after agreeing that they liked the idea of the film • Logistically, at some points in the filming locations , traffic noise could potentially effect sound, this will have to be sorted before recording. • ADR?
Possible Filming Dates • We plan to film in the 3rd week of February, 19 days away. • Providing Kit, transport, actors are available on these days. • Bearing in mind individual commitments to crew and talent.
