COMM CAPSTONE BLOG - FACULTY REVIEW

Overall, Nick and I's faculty review for our short film went pretty well.  We came prepared with a slideshow of all of our production notes (our schedule, script breakdown, some scene breakdowns, audition tape, etc.) as well as a teaser we put together for the film.  We also provided a folder with hard copies of our production notes so that the faculty could have a closer look.  I think we were prepared for any questions or concerns that the faculty may have had as well.  However, there were not many, if any that I can recall, negative comments and only one concern.  The concern was with our idea to use a green screen for a very small shot in our film, however when we and Jason explained how it would be done and that it could be done, the concern seemed to fade.

So again, overall the review went well for us, and I'm glad we were able to be prepared in time.

Project Progress

We've had quite a bit of progress with this project so far.  For the film so far we have:

• Delegated different jobs to different people involved in the project (with myself as the director/casting director)
• Done a script breakdown and noted everything that we needed including locations, costumes, props, sets, etc.
• Begun the process of creating a schedule of when we will shoot which scenes
• Begun the casting process.  We've held auditions once already and will probably hold another session.

During the Spring Break, Nick and I intend on getting together and putting together a good presentation with the materials that we currently have for the project.
