Jacqueline + Jack

Chapter Thirty-One

On tuesday we had a meeting with a professional set designer and lighting designer, we spoke to Jacqueline about what she could build for us and she said it should be ok. She will build us a brick wall and illegal storage space. We have arranged with Mr.Rawlings about hanging meat from the meat locker and he said he would be happy to provide this as long as we let him know the night before.

Jack helped us decide on our lighting. He has found a way to make the brick walls look very 3D and made the lighting darker and highlights the characters faces. We have looked at using dry ice to make the ice locker look very cold. 

Cardboard Boxes and Props

Chapter Thirty

Yesterday we were looking for more props and how we would budget it. We have found some boxes we will buy and the rest of the set will be provided buy our higher team.

Animatics

Chapter Twenty-Nine

Kristina has finished our Animatic and it is cut to fit our music perfectly, hopefully it should help massively when editing our final music video. It gives a visual aid to the final product.

Our Shooting Date

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Our shooting date is now set as 24th November.

We have decided to shoot the poker game in the morning, set up in the studio.

We have been granted permission to shoot in the afternoon at Rawling's butchers, in their meat locker, and the band will be shot in the afternoon.

I am currently sending out emails to the actors and band to see if they are available for the shoot. 

We are still searching for a brass section, MILES RUSSELL is a possible option.

Casting

Chapter Twenty-Seven

We have come to the stage where we will look at who is going to be in our music videos and how we will cast them. We will not audition our cast because we have already seen them work and know their background training. One of our actors is a trained actors from drama school, and the other has a background in media work. The band have musical experience and some are already members of a band.

Our first Actor is Adam Grant:

We looked for a similar looking actor as our second and we found actor James Hartman:

Our lead singer and hero Ted Jackson:

And Our Guitarist Dave Fonseka:
