BDM 311 (3 year project).

Progress on the Third year project is slowly gaining more steam, momentum. We have (as a group) decided which script we are going to develop and the gears are turning. Crashland is the working title and Kim has further developed the script from ideas that the scriptwriting team developed. Me and Kim are still working out the script and that takes a bit of time but bit by bit we are getting there. I have learned to not over work the script and slowly chisel away at it.


I have also been looking through the casting call footage and quit a few are great for one of the parts (working title Mia). We are still on the look out for the male part (working title Thai). I've met with the art team and I can find myself perfectly in the designs and the drawings they have presented me.With every new piece that they show me I get more excited and the vision of the finished product will be great. A minor incident got worked out very well by one of the crew members and it goes to show that a lot of people are committed to the project. The props master and art department work really well together and that is always a bonus. Story board team are eager to go and so are many other teams.
The meetings are going good and everybody attends and concerns are being handled on a very diplomatic level. I am also approaching other people for help and they are eager to come on the project, pending permission from their individual teacher(s).The main solution for this is communication and that goes smoothly. Next week we'll be hanging the green screen and scout a few locations. With also an added casting call as some people missed out last week. Might be a good opportunity to look for our last missing cast. The main cast is only 2 people but I want to get the right actors for that. And it also gives me time to do rehearsals. As I found out last year with my own short that it is a good preparation to do so. I have to find the right scale of not getting involved with too many things and let people be individuals. Being their own HOD and I only can talk to them about their department. But it is all a learning process.
