We are one week away from shooting. A lot of preproduction work has been done, equipment reserved, storyboards, master shot list, shooting schedule, shooting script. However, all the little details suddenly come swarming up, locations, props, costuming - and we're still waiting to hear back from one actor about whether or not he's available. A lot of emails needs to be sent out to cast and crew still. The biggest concern right now is probably the shots of Facebook. A good chunk of preproduction time is needed to create the fake Facebook groups and profiles. Our camera op has some pretty good ideas about how to actually shoot the screenshots.
One film professor had a good suggestion about storyboarding. The storyboards for "Join This Group?" were hand drawn, resulting in several oddly shaped people. The professor suggested instead taking pictures with a digital camera. While this is a great idea, being student filmmakers, time is crunched, especially at the end of the semester. The crew may be stuck with the storyboards about aliens commenting on Facebook.
Shooting starts Friday and goes for a few hours on Saturday and Sunday as well. The crew will be meeting for the first time on Thursday, the day before. Hopefully no huge concerns will be raised. Editing and post production work, including a narrator's voice over and maybe the screen shots of Facebook, is not projected to start until after April 18th.
