dissertation
Roger Gray
Today is 10th of December 2012 and I am writing to catch up on the work I’ve done for the part of my dissertation project, a short film “Roger Gray” (originally “Charlie Cray”, but Laura, the producer, was advised to change the names of the characters). As the original idea was to make a film about the Krays, a part of my research back in October was to read their biography to get engaged with the characters and their story. I also watched a film “The Krays” by Peter Medak for inspiration on visual style and went on location scouting to the places mentioned in the book. I’ve been put off my work by a serious sickness, but now I am back on track and there is lots of work to be done. Yesterday (09/12/12) I had a meeting with the producer – we discussed the locations to be considered for filming, changed the names of the characters and planned the casting session which will take place on Wednesday (12/12/12). Today my task is to call the actors who didn’t reply to e-mails, remind them about the casting and book the slots.
