Pre-Production: My Piece of the pie

 Day 3: My Piece of the Pie

In this blog, I will be discussing everything I am doing as my role as the director, and how it is an important piece of the pie that is our chess film. 

Currently I need to work on the genre statement, script, call sheet, and casting report before November 11th, which is the day I construct all the documents onto one singular document. However, I plan on focusing on the genre statement, script, and call sheet. 

Genre Statement:

Writing the Genre Statement was fairly simple as my group mates and I have been discussing the genre and why it is best for our idea for a few days now. I recently rewatched Scream (1996) and used that as an example to justify why we decided to do a thriller/slasher. Moreover, I analyzed a few famous clips to speak about the specific generic elements of the film.

Script:

Regarding our script, I decided that is a job better done when all of us are participating, rather than just me constructing it. Therefore, I will dedicate next class time, which is day 4, to completely construct the script . 

Call Sheet: 

While some parts of the Call sheet I can complete on my own, I will also like to actively get the opinions of my groups mates before coming to a final decision on what should be on the call sheet, which I will also decided to do on day 4.
