1) I have come from not having an idea of what type of movie I want to make - to writing my script. It came in around 30 pages long so I'm shooting for a 30-40 minute movie. I have also started to cast and find some locations, I have not found either yet but I have emailed places to shoot and sent out some casting calls. I'm also in the beginning stages of storyboarding.
2) I have been in contact with my mentor at least 6 or 7 times. We meet almost every week for about an hour or so. We have discussed what I'd like to accomplish with my movie and when I want to get it done. We have discussed my project timeline and added some goals that I need to get done.
3) My timeline has changed a little bit. I have pushed back the storyboarding because it took me longer to complete my script that I anticipated. The good thing is that I can work on casting and locations with my story and script in its 2nd draft. I need to wait for the final revision before I can start storyboarding but, I believe that I'm still on track to shoot on the date that I wanted to start, as long as casting works out.
4) Before my N499 course starts I need to take care of all of the pre-production. I want to head into my capstone class ready to shoot. I need to find actors, get locations, finish storyboarding, get my shooting scripts done, scout locations, and get the equipment ready that I will need.
5) I think that the biggest change to my project is that the story completely changed. Originally I was doing a heist style action movie, not really my cup of tea but I had the idea for a story. After numerous attempts to write this script, I realized it wasn't working for me, with the help of my mentor I was able to come up with a story that I really enjoyed and is really motivating me to get done because I actually want to watch it. The biggest change was story, genre, and locations.
