Crawl Out Through The Fallout

In person

In this meeting we had just had the workshop where Peggy and Zara invited actors to the university as a way to introduce us to older actors for our drama, this was perfect for us as we needed an older man to play ‘Edward’ in our drama. We met Eddie who was part of the amateur dramatics group in Lincoln. Where we went into the studio together and got him to read different scripts for us. As time went on we molded it towards our character of Edward. after this session i got his details so i could contact him later.

During this meeting we agreed that we liked Eddie and i made a note to call him later to ask if he was free to play the part.

We already had a first draft of the scripts, we went over it as a group to make any changes we felt necessary.

I put out a casting call on facebook on drama groups in Lincoln to find ‘Red’

To-do-List:

Director: Make changes to the script

BA: Create a full list of all the sounds we will need

Producer: Call Eddie, Email Zara and Peggy about casting Red

In this meeting we had the first couple of pages of the script done and we messaged over facebook how we think the script is going, we talked about more finer detail on how we want the characters to sound and their names. After looking up different meanings of names and the symbolism we wanted to show in our drama we decided on Red for the girl and Edward for the guy.

The BA then told us what he had found out and decided that if we set their mics to different channels he could create the effect for 3D which would be easier then booking out 5 mics.

To-Do-list:

Director: Finish the script

BA: Start looking/thinking about props we would need e.g. any free sounds online etc.

Producer: Attend the actors meeting and help the director with the script if she needs it

In this meeting we finalized that we would want too focus on 2 characters, one a middle age man the other a young 20-something year old girl. The Drama would focus on the conversation of these two characters as they struggle with their pass and their morale compass set in a dystopian world post a nuclear war. We also talked about how we would record the drama, the BA suggested using a mic in the middle of the room and 4 others mic in the corner but he was planning on doing more research before deciding.

We finished the Proposal.

To-Do-List:

-Director: Start first draft of script

-BA: research mics and how we would best record the drama

– Producer: Start Blog

In person 

In this meeting we discussed what roles we wanted to do, for our group we chose:

Director: Beth Taylor

Producer: Zoe Cocker

BA: Oli Cox

We then brainstormed our ideas for our Drama, we all wanted it to be 3D audio so the audience would feel immersed in the drama. We bounced around ideas of it being in different post-apocalyptic world e.g. zombie, nuclear etc. To scale down the project we went on it being between 2 characters  and have them in one location.

We started the proposal.
