Welcome

This blog is intended to document the project development and physical production of our large-scale, interactive installation from my own individual perspective. The installation is being produced as a collaborative major project for our BA(hons) degree in Contemporary Media Practice at the University of Westminster 2010.

Pre-shoot preperations

Having agreed on the direction of the major side-narrative, we have organised a shoot for the 21st April, we need to get this done ASAP as the film takes 2 weeks for processing.

We have secured an actor from Starnow who fits the role of cult leader pretty well (Davey T.), so we are attempting to gather up appropriate extra's who have the desired look. As it is only a short shoot we will hopefully be able to gather enough people (5 / 10) but everyone is extremely busy at the moment. We've got some costumes picked up for free at the carboot which will work including a fetching suit for the Leader himself and i've secured the super8 camera that I know works well from my minor project.

We have also collected the props together that we will need, including making some 'paranormal sensing' contraptions, which will all eventually end up as part of the installation / transition machine.

The location we have scouted is in the mystical forest the otherside of northwick park hospital, we found a great clearing with a compound wall in the background and huge cut logs in the foreground which will be great for the scene. Weather forecast is good, we are all set to go.
