Today we organised a Google Hangout in order to discuss a number of important points relating to our short film:
Concept - We are all happy with the current concept for our short film, and now need a screenplay to be written. The current title for our film is 'Connection'. Our writer has been unavailable, so Ross and Pip are both going to have a go at writing out a script.
Locations - We are planning to shoot at Ross' house (for the indoor scenes), and at a park overlooking the river for the scenes where Charlotte, the main character, is outside. We decided against using locations such as a cafe, as it will be too difficult to arrange this.
Characters/Actors - We will need to audition actors for the roles of Charlotte and Adam (the boy she meets at the end of the film). Other supporting characters needed are Charlotte's family, passers by, a beggar and a dog walker with a dog. We are hoping to use ourselves to play these supporting characters, and Ross' family to play Charlotte's family, as we will be filming at his house.
Props - Newspapers, magazines, books, phones, tablets, headphones etc.
Shooting Dates - We have potentially three days to shoot our film (the 17th, 18th and 19th of Feb). We are going to shoot all of the outdoor scenes on one day, and all of the indoor scenes at Ross' house on a second day, and hopefully begin editing on the third.
Kit - We were given a list of available kit from the Rural Media Company and are hoping to use the C100 DSLR camera, a tripod, slider and microphone/boom pole.
Auditions - We are holding auditions on the 11th February at my college, from 12.45 to 1.55pm. We need to decide on what audition material we are going to give the actors, preferably an extract from the script, therefore it will need to be written by then. We will have a slot of 5 minutes for each actor, and also try out different combinations of Charlotte and Adam to see how they interact. We will film the auditions in order to show to the rest of the group and decide who to cast.
