Assignment 4: Week 9 Reflection

Week 9 Reflection

 

Week 9 was a crucial phase in our project, marked by quite a bit of progress and some unexpected challenges. The completion of our first draft was a major milestone. With the first draft in hand, we focused intensively on refining and enhancing our script. Lewis played a pivotal role in drafting the initial script, laying a solid foundation for our story. Nia and Zach took on the critical task of refining the draft, meticulously editing and improving the dialogue, pacing, and character development. Their collaborative efforts ensured that the second draft was more polished and cohesive which Lewis also drew up a draft for first, bringing us closer to our vision for “Situation Tragedy.”

 

Simultaneously, we encountered some setbacks in our casting process. While we initially had a lineup of actors who expressed interest and availability, a few of them had to cancel due to some circumstances which I don’t know. This led to a period of time where we were scrambling and reorganising, as Chloe worked hard to secure replacements. Her proactiveness and communication skills were instrumental in managing this challenge, and by the end of the week, we were back on track with a mostly finalised cast. Which we had to fill in a lot with ourselves.

 

Location scouting presented a whole can of worms (set of difficulties). Despite our efforts, responses for the studio locations were non-existent. This posed a significant challenge, as securing a suitable filming location is critical for our project. I took the lead on this task, reaching out to the studio booking leader and exploring alternative venues. While the lack of responses was frustrating, this process underscored the importance of persistence and flexibility in production planning.

 

In reflection, The successful completion and refinement of our first draft were major achievements, thanks to the dedicated efforts of our team. Despite the challenges in casting and location scouting, we remained resilient and adaptive, finding solutions and making necessary adjustments to keep our project moving forward. This week highlighted the importance of teamwork, communication, and perseverance in the face of obstacles.
