DIRECTIONS UNIT: PRODUCTION DEVELOPMENTS

As we get closer to filming time for my production in a few weeks, i have started all of my preparations and started to finalise locations, casting and any props that i will need (as well as visual material). The script is completed and i have started to draw and write out some storyboards and shot lists, which will hopefully make the actual filming process a lot more smoother and make sure that everything will be completed on time

LOCATION
I have 3 different locations, 2 of which are now finalised and the other is in the process. I have 2 different houses to use (though for the actual film they are the same house), one of which i will be using for my main characters, Vee, bedroom, and the other i will be using for they're kitchen. The reason i am using a different house for the kitchen is because i prefer the structure of the other houses kitchen, there is 2 big windows and one back door enabling a lot of natural light to come through, which is something i want and it is a kitchen and dining room in one, which is perfect for me to get all of the shots that i want and need to get

CASTING
My main character Vee, i have cast, through mutual friends i have casted someone who has an interest in acting and will hopefully bring this interest to the role. The role of Vee's mother is more of a tricky one to cast but i am currently searching and advertising on Casting Call Pro for this role and hope to have somebody cast soon. I would like to use a semi-professional actor from Casting Call Pro as the role is for an older women, i believe they will bring a sense of authenticity and maturity to the production as a whole.

PROPS AND VISUAL MATERIAL
The main prop and visual mateiral that i need for this role is family photos, i will be able to obtain these from the main character who i have casted; these will be pictures of her so they will all fit together when filming. The main obstacle that i find in this, is creating the graphics for the Nerve video game, and so to overcome this i have decided to instead of filming the graphics, i will record sound only for it and instead film Vee's reaction to it.
