Blog Week 3

Even though we didn’t meet this past week as a class, my crew has come along way as far as getting everything ready for the interviews and scenes. This week we have tried to get a lot of the pre-production aspects for the short scenes out of the way so we can focus on the interview and doc aspects of the film. We made a casting call for women in each scene and we have gotten a lot of responses. We have confirmed actresses for our teenage scene, and are currently going through numerous headshots for our mother and elderly women scenes. We have gotten drafts of our scripts from our scriptwriter and have made revisions and are currently waiting on the final. After we get the scripts finalized, we can start contacting our actresses, meeting with them, and getting the shoot on the schedule. As far as subjects, we have already confirmed our teenage subjects, but are still weighing options and deciding on who our middle and elderly age women will be. We as a group have also started scouting out possible locations and getting those places reserved. After getting a lot of the logistics figured out, I can now sit down and really focus on the pre-production project. As a group, we have talked a little about the pre-production project while starting to get out schedules in order. However, this week our meetings will heavily focus on this aspect of the film so we can start production. Overall, I am really impressed with my group and the amount of enthusiasm and dedication they are putting into the project. As of now, I believe we are all on the same page and excited to get the wheels rolling!
