Back in the room

Posted on by

After  a week of stress I am back on track. This week i had a bit of a reality check about the amount of work i have actually had to do, stress, but i am over that now and i am back with my full attention on the game.

After shoots had to be cancelled, due to snow.. lets hope that doesnt come back.. our schdule has been pushed back a bit – but many thansk to Sylvia and Helen for keeping up to date with that! The schdule we were using had been created, albeit knowing the actors schdules, but then the times for studios had not been avalible (sp?)

I have watched Super 8 and Killing Bono for inspiration and i think everyone should be watching them, but espicially set. It also gives you an idea of the type of lanuage that was used.

The shoots we have done so far – although small – have done well, but its all about pushing forward and getting the big ones done.

 

Thanks guys, 🙂

Week 1, meetings, meetings meetings

Posted on by

After a team building bowling game our group appears to be on the right tracks:
– I have had a meeting with all the producers to establish what flats, etc we want – we have got just what we wanted (perfect).
– i have a meeting with Gary and Steve about greenscreening, and after initially volunteering to help paint and pay for the new fabric flats they have bought us a huge piece of greenscreen fabric (AHH! HOW GOOD IS THAT)
– I have had a meeting with Director and PA and come up with a shooting scedule
– We have had two full group meetings to report on progress (as lack of communication was our weak link last year) during this meeting each subteam reported on progress, new targets were set and we have a filming date set.

We will be having a full cast and crew meeting on Tuesday, along with rehearsals if time and then another meeting on Friday with the cast depending on their availability.

By next week I hope to have come up with dates for filming, a calender for all the actors, locations for our opening ceremony and continue to support the group.

🙂 much improvement from last year guys

Week Zero – going 30 mph, lets move it up a gear.

Posted on by

This week we have reviewed the TV series Sherlock and This is England (although some people are still to do this – and for all our aims and objectives this is not getting off to a good start).
We have set our objectives, created this blogs and really moved it up a gear (currently we are probs in second gear, lets speed up and get up into fifth gear! – love a good car metophor)
Shiv has created sets and talks between the groups looks set to improve – especially with this blog. Communication within the groups is just as imporant as communication with seperate groups.

I am setting targets on the blog to make sure people are reading it and the first one is that every posts a blog on here about last week before the 18th Janurary. Our main targets the coming week are to keep up the communication, start looking at other ways of creating the unusal shots we want, get close to completing script and first drafts of all sets. The main points of improvment are camera work, unsure audio and lighting and time organisation.

With our supergroup (yes i know we are super!) is all sorted and things look set to create a great project if we can keep up motivation and commitment.
