To make this a reality, I’ve been working on planning the shoot extensively, as well as looking for actors to play the parts – I will be holding an audition to work out which of the actors I’m considering will be best for the role. I have currently narrowed it down to three actors who could bring something to the role of Graham, afterwards I will look at casting Miranda.
For a limited shoot, being as efficient as possible is important to make the use of the time so I have been detailing what needs to be shot in the form of a storyboard. Drawing isn’t my area of expertise so it took a bit of research to comfort myself that my anatomically incorrect scribbles are acceptable – specifically I looked at Ben Wheatley’s storyboards for the two episodes of Doctor Who he directed.

I'm also continuing my aim to watch short films regularly and features once a week in order to note their construction. Recently, after being impressed by Spike Jonze's music videos I've watched Where the Wild Things Are which was a brilliant watch and impressivley made. What I've seen of his portfolio, I can see his 'style' emerging with soft visuals and bittersweet stories and this is likely to have an influence on my work.
