Erotomania 17/12/12 11:00
At 11 o’clock I had a meeting with Nauris Sadovskis, who is directing and producing a short film about Erotomania. I got enrolled on his project as a cinematographer. We talked about the visual style, references, soundtracks. We also looked at the photos of the location that Nauris already found for the shooting. Next step of the project is the screenplay, then we will have much more to talk about and work on. More information about Nauris’s project on his blog: naurissadovskis.wordpress.com.
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.
