Blog Week 2

This week we have done a lot of planning and getting ready for our skits. We have been meeting with our scriptwriter, Michael Moore, to go over the visions and details of the skits. We just got our first draft over the weekend from him and are meeting Tuesday to go over revisions as a group. Our group meetings in general have been going very well. We keep each other updated through the week on our tasks and status, leaving time in our meetings to collaborate and brainstorm.  Our project requires a lot of Producer work especially trying to find 9 subjects and 11 actresses. The group as a whole has been and will continue helping Kebba out in reaching out to people. From posting casting calls to reaching out to friends and co works, the group collectively has been working hard in trying to pull pre production together. We also did our 100 List collectively as a group instead of just leaving it to our Producer. We saw this method very beneficial because everyone came up with different things we weren’t thinking about and it helped everyone get on the same page.  As we prepared bios and possible interview questions, we as a group created certain personality types that we want to set out for. When writing the interview questions, we had to keep in mind to stay cohesive and be able to tell a story. We kept an eye out to make sure the questions went together and were personalized to that expert. Each expert was chosen for a reason and to highlight a different aspect of women shaming. We also tried to prevent from asking, “Yes” or “No” questions and giving the subjects room to talk and state their opinion. Overall, so far our pre production for Circles has been going very smoothly and we are excited to keep getting everything ready!
