Getting ready to roll FMP
My shoot is at the end of this week! eek! WEEKS of planning all coming to ahead!
I am also meeting with Colin Holt today, the actor playing Mark the dad so that will be exciting, get up to speed with him on everything, go through the script, answer any questions etc.
All call sheets are in place, script breakdown, shoot schedule and shot list etc. This week I just need to collect all the things I need for the set production design wise.
Its all very overwhelming and I am very nervous to work with professional actors, but excited!

Production Manager and Things to do
Simon suggested I needed someone on my shoot to help out and make sure things run smoothly and everyone is happy and my immediate thought was to ask Chloe. She has been so great with casting and I feel as she has had most contact with them, they are going to feel like shes there go to girl and she seems like shes good at organizing people and meetings etc. I appreciate she has her own project so I told her to say no if she didnt want to but she agreed as long as the shoot days dont clash with hers.
So other things to nail is - schedule. If the cast we meet tomorrow are great then I am hoping to bash out a shoot schedule with them, I am hoping for the october half term as then the children arent at school.
I also need to go and take photographs of my locations (house and track) to build up a production design board, I think if I get time I may do this tomorrow in between the morning with Simon and the cast meeting at 5.30pm.
In the cast meeting tomorrow I am aiming to get the cast to improv together to see if they have chemistry and perhaps a few readings from the script.

Scripting
SCRIPTING IS HARRRRRRD.
I had been having major issues with a part of my story, I really don't want my story to be a cliche, but I needed to answer some questions. And I THINK i've come up with something that I'm really happy with finally :) This is like draft 4 or 5 but now I THINK its just tweaking rather than story editing :)

Direction/Vision
I want the piece to be very honest, simple and people/relationship led. Much like BBC's True Love and Independent film Fishtank. I envision lots of shots in which there is no dialogue, just a quite character, emotion on their faces not being spoken.
