For all you crazee gamers out there..



Hey guys, well, with the bloggers not here, it's time for us, the film crew to take over the blog. Taking you through the events of today is Zoe, Jessica, Josh, Aqsa and Rebekah.

So, here on the second day of filming, we are just beginning to film the very first scenes of our film. Whilst creative juices flow down here, just two floors up, the rest of the film crew, Jayne, Farhana and Saima are shooting the establishing of our film.
With not much else to do, conversation soon turned to the project in hand. It seems everyone is really enthusiastic about actually making a film, and everyone seems to be getting maximum enjoyment out of it so far. It seems Aqsa is slightly obsessed with getting involved in the sound and audio side of the film after having a chance to operate the boom yesterday. Rebekah claims to have enjoyed doing the set building and just generally getting to see what goes on behind the scenes of a film, and I think I speak for everyone when I say she's not alone with her opinions. Make-up artist Jessica says that she has really enjoyed assisting with coming up with a storyline for our film and getting involved in other things as well as her makeup. Josh has just generally enjoyed making the film and seeing behind the scenes parts. And as for me, Zoe, I've just loved every minute of it, and I'm really enjoying getting a feel for how the film is made, and I must say, the people I've met are pretty damn cool too.

Also, everyone seems to have enjoyed creating the set, and alot of thought and effort was put into how to arrange his room and what props we had to buy. We had to buy props that really reflected our main character and we had to give him alot of geeky props, figurines, comics, DVD's and we all thoroughly enjoyed messing up his room. The transformation between before and after are actually quite spectacular.
Our actors finally got a chance to meet each other today and Fay seems to think that Daniel is great for the role of our male character and she says that the contrast between the two characters at the end is really good. I spoke to her about the filming we did yesterday and she said she really enjoyed filming the reviews and thought that the technical language added an extra something to the scenes. She told me that it was a fresh challenge and good experience to get, not just for her, but also for the young people involved in the project. Overall, about the project, she said that she was surprised about the quickness of it all, and how fast we got through things and she liked to see how everyone got involved in everything, giving us all a chance to get some experience. Finally I spoke to her about the scenes she filmed with Dave yesterday and she said that all the technical language he used was invaluable and brought something extra to the film.
So, with a hard day ahead of us, it's time for us to sign off here and get on with some proper work.
Zoe :)
