I still have my sanity, so I'd say that means things are going ok! Just now I've booked a camera for a screen test this weekend. I couldn't book a tripod for some reason, but hopefully it'll still be ok. It's just a test, after all.
I've been working more on my treatment, gaining a clearer picture of the structure and style of the film, amung other things.
Earlier this week I watched a tv documentary called 'Why did you kill my dad?' The filmmaker was investigating murder cases caused by people with mental health problems, including the case of his own father's death. There was a good balance of home video footage, photos and interviews, all from a very personal perspective. It was about his own journey as he researched these cases.
The subject matter is obviously a lot more serious than my film, but I think it's the same sort of style that I want. I watched very closely to study it, but there were a few moments that were so emotional and sad that I completely forgot about that. But it's still helped me greatly. I may have to watch it a few more times on BBC I-Player.
