My producing role.

I don't know whether I have actually said this yet but I am producing Andy's film, "Dislocation" as well as making my own. His blog can be found here and he is creating a fictional story, rather than a documentary. His short film is both comedy and horror based that sees two best friends 'geo-caching' (For anyone that doesn't know what geo-caching is, it is an international treasure community) for a rare mysterious cache. As the cache draws closer, find or did not find, re-establishes itself with live or die.

Tonight we wrote up advertisements for the three roles that need to be filled, and stuck them on the Studio NI Daily email newsletter, Studio NI Facebook page, Gum Tree and over the next few days we will be tweeting it with the appropriate hash tags so people and actors from Belfast will find it easily.

Our Third Meeting.

Our third meeting happened the very next day (Thursday 13th March) with our tutor. We updated up on the interest we had had so far, and that we had already planned to meet up with one of the subjects the following week.

We also discussed our idea of the opening of the documentary having us look online and typing in "vegetarian" onto various search engines, and all that comes up is vegetables. This is to lead in to what I wanted to know, is vegetarianism just about vegetables? Our tutor gave us an idea though; she said to use photographs or video that we take ourselves with markets and shops and to create a montage using my original "is it all about vegetables" idea.

Overall, I'm really pleased with our progress so far. We were a little worried we would come to class with no one interested but that quickly changed on Wednesday and I couldn't be happier.

Second Meeting.

In our second meeting (Wednesday 12th March) we looked over the research resources I had received the week before as well as reply to two responses we had received that morning. We also wrote up a short letter to politician Jim Wells because we found out that he is vegetarian himself. We haven't currently sent the letter yet because we have had quite a few responses so we were using that as a back up plan but we thought it was a good idea to write it up anyway.
