feedback from one of our teams ?


Hello Johnnie,

I don't know if you want feedback emailed to you but I thought you might be interested in our teams progress.

We have a small team Slade (video editor), Alex (Cameraman) and myself (editor). We have been balancing real work and the 28 days later challenge.

I put an advert out for actors and got a great response. We have cast our two leads. They both very talented at improvisation which is vital.

We have arranged to first days shooting on Sunday. It's has been difficult with no money but we're getting there. We had to pay for a some props and a dolly but we should bring the whole days shooting under 200 pounds.

We have decided to film a simple story primarily set in one room with two actors set over 60 minutes. We feel this approach gives us a realist chance of finishing by the end of the month. The problem now is to make this simple set up exciting and not to much like a stage play! I'm hoping tight parameters will help us focus the story but I'm drawing a blank at the moment.

It has been good fun putting this together but the scale of the task is daunting. I'm determined to hand something in even if that means filming my cat for 70 minutes while listing to rights free music.

Looking forward to the end of the month.

Lawrence
