For my production for the directions unit, I am directing a few scenes from Ariel Schulman's Nerve. Centralising around the main character Vee, she is scared of admitting to her mother that she has a scholarship to an art school far away from home, as her mother wants her to stay at home with her and attend the location art college. The drama within the scenes that i have chosen is very subtle, and in order to make sure that i achieve the correct shots that i want, i need to make sure i plan and prepare effectively.
Location
There are three main locations that i need for my production, I need Vee's house that needs to have her bedroom, her brothers bedroom and her kitchen. As well as this i will need a road that leads to a field, where Vee sets down after an argument with her mother.Casting
The main character of Vee, is a medium height blonde young women, and for this role i have already cast, she has minimal pearcings and within the original film she wears bright clothes with her hair up. I would like to have Vee in my production looking similar to the way in which she is in the original as i think this would be a recognisable element for both. Vee's mother is in one scene, she comes from work and therefore is in a nurses uniform, i haven't yet cast Vees mother but i will be hopefully looking on websites such as casting call pro to get a semi professional actor, as i believe especially with a role of an older women, the acting needs to be as authentic as possible in order for the drama to work.
Props
I will need quite a few props for my production. The main one will be family pictures, as that is what a lot of the drama within the scenes revolves around, pictures of Vee and her dead brother is a huge talking point within the scenes and we see these photos in frames on her bedside table as well as her laptop screensaver.
