Blog Week 4

This week went really well and we accomplished a lot. As far as the scenes, we have met with our scriptwriter multiple times and will have the final drafts of our scripts by our Tuesday meeting this week. Last weekend my crew went to New Hanover High School to get some B-Roll as well as getting more shots for our ending. Along with getting some test shots, our crew also met with our subjects and actresses (2 different meetings) for our teenage segment of the documentary. We are scheduled to shoot the scene this weekend and the interview along with the Grandmother’s scene the following weekend. Our project requires a lot from the producer, having to schedule and cast 10 actresses and 9 subjects is a lot of work. So far Kebba has done an awesome job staying on top of things and getting all the necessary logistics in place. The meetings with our teen actresses and subjects went extremely well. All of the girls seem very excited about the project and the teenage subjects already started talking about past friendships and women shaming they have personally experienced. Along with getting our production underway, my group has also been brainstorming distribution and possible marketing items. We debated about crowdsourcing and the best program to use as well as the necessary content for the page. We are also beginning to do some production design for our scenes in purchasing necessary props.  Overall, this week has been very productive and we are all super excited and prepared to begin production this weekend.
