Progress up to now

So, here is the first real post of our blog. Our group consists of:

Producer: Analisa Guerra
Director: Jordan Torres
Assistant Director: Logan Spain
Editor: Laura Davila

We met on Thursday, September 24 and discussed the following

We need to find a script for our scene. We thought about asking around our friends who have unproduced scripts as it would allow us to screen our final product at festivals. Not a requirement, but would be much better for us in the future if we could manage it

One that Jordan brought up was by a friend, and it was a parody of Batman called Ratman and Bobbin. Sounded like a cute idea to me!

We also talked about an idea involving getting a script everyone might be familiar with and totally playing around with its context by changing the characters, setting, and tone of what the original has.

Jordan brought up an idea in her head about making a scene in a bathroom with some sort of tub? If we did this, we might look around at Craig's list or at other places that might have that sort of thing.

Logan suggested doing a cut-scene from Silent Hill. Ultimately, we want to find a sort of scene that can be self contained, has few actors, doesn't require too elaborate of a set/costumes, but still hooks the audience in by building tension.


Aside from the creative side of this project, we also discussed some of the more financial/logistical aspects.

Jordan brought a few request forms we can drop off at businesses to see about catering. We also figured we should reserve a studio for Wednesday, October 7 from 6-9pm for our auditions. We need to offer the actors some snacks and water, so we think the best way to do this would be to each provide something. Jordan and I also agree we should recycle any of those plastic water bottles for make benefit great environment

As for our hands-on quiz for next week, we think it'd be best to try and sign up for the earliest times we can, and get through everything in a block. As we are the first group to go, I hope everyone else in our class understands our need for urgency!

That's about everything we covered when we met. Hope everyone had a good weekend!
