Casting Call
This week has been going really well, especially since one of my biggest concerns has been put to rest. After I posted our original casting call for Circles on Facebook and a few of its casting call pages, I only received one actress interested in being a part of the film. After noticing that the narrative crews were making visually striking casting call images, I decided to consult with my group on whether we would like to do this too (especially since we were looking for actresses for our narratives scenes on top of subjects). We all agreed that it was a great idea and Mariah worked on creating one! Once she finished it, I began posting the casting call on Facebook once again and on all of the appropriate casting call pages. Thanks to Mariah's suggestion, I also contacted a professor in the Theater Department to fin d out where would be the best place for me to post my casting call to reach the biggest range of actors in Wilmington. She suggested to post in the Wilmington Theater Community Facebook page. Thanks to her advice and Mariah's new casting call image, we have received several headshots and resumes! In our next meeting we will be narrowing down our choices to determine our cast.
Pre-Production Work
The Circles crew has been working hard these past few weeks, meeting with a screenwriter to write our short narrative scenes, discussing props, and looking into locations. With part of our cast locked down (our teenage category), we have also been putting our energy into our pre-production presentation. I gave my teammates a deadline to have all of their Google Calendars updated so I could make our shooting schedule. Since they have done that, I have been using the syllabus and the information of our project to get started on our shooting schedule. In our weekly meetings on Tuesday, we will be diving in deeper to our pre-production presentation.
