update for documentary...

I received a pleasant call this morning from Dr Lutz Marten, from the soas university re the message i had left him about our commision, he was quite agreeable to talking on camera, however i did discover his expertise is more in the African languages. Not quite sure how that will work. Renee Horn also contacted me re the commision and again seemed happy, however i need to ring her back tonight after six as she is teaching all day, so i can confirm filming dates etc. She is more ideal as she is an expert in south african politics...

Narrative and genre

1125 words done so far, and i haven't even finished talking about genre.

direction unit update

Its been a rough week so far. However i have finally got an actress who can play the part of cathy, unfortunately she cant make it till next week, which is cutting it fine for me to do the edit.. I am determined though to get this module in on time...stressssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Margateparadiso

I have emailed David Reilly applying to be a member of crew for the Margateparadiso production, fingers crossed..

Documentary update..

So far this module has been up and down. We have done plenty of research and now fully understand apartheid and a fair bit about the economy of South Africa. I had a slight mishap last week when my couple pulled out due to problems with the documentary being aired on youtube. However I did manage to find another couple who left S/A in the noughties, unfortunately though they left in the later half of the noughties and we now need to find an expert on South African politics and international relations. I had manged to contact Dr Anne Hammerstad (whom Helen located) this evening at the univerity of kent, who is an expert but unfortunately she is due to go away for a month on a  research project in two days.  I will be contacting another member of her department tomorrow, hoping to secure an expert for an on camera interview.
Putting out fires, again....

Direction unit...update...

Todays been a very productive albeit a pain of a day.. I have finally casted Cathy for my drama, thankfully a friend who has some previous experience acting for kent t.v ( briefly) is able to help. I am aiming to shoot Thursday morning at the studios, assuming a camera is avaliable.......
I have my shot list, and script breakdown already prepared and hopefully my actors are learning their lines as we speak...So I'm on track now for submitting on time, if the edit goes well..
