LOCATION
There is a cafe on little lonsdale called thousandpoundpend that I tend to frequent on a regular basis, and i feel like it would be the perfect location for the main setting of our piece. It is a large converted warehouse space, with many tables, chairs, couches etc. for filming to take place. The back half also functions as a gallery, so I think they will be quite happy for us to shoot there, especially as the space is so large I don't think our being there would impact on their trade.
I also have a friend who lives in a lovely apartment in Southbank who has said she will be happy to let us use her place for any inside scenes. It is on the 46th floor and all of the walls are floor to ceiling windows, so I think we will be able to get some great shots there.
CAST
So far we have a girl confirmed who is the main character in our piece, so all we need now is our leading man. I'm going to put an ad up on StarNow this week so hopefully that will yield some results....
Otherwise we are pretty on track with things. We have pretty much developed the script, located some appropriate loyalty free music, drawn up the story board and delegated all of the other tasks to be completed by Monday. In our next meeting we will be going to the locations and hopefully hiring out the camera so I can get a feel for it/the way I want it to look.
I'm looking forward to actually getting started and making some measurable progress!
This looks like a great location, already art dressed so well, but any public space presents many difficulties, namely the fact that the owners hate to lose any money or clients! I haven't read your production report yet so aren't sure if you have stayed with this great looking spot or not. Your blogging is good Sally but more frequent blogs would be useful and reduce the weighting I then need to give the existing work. You should also look at including on-line resources, and linking lectures, readings, tutes and your production work together.
