 Kickstarter - design, description, script for videos • Cast - at least we can look for Jamie as his position in the movie is confirmed as far as I know • Locations - I know some of us are no happy with the current ideas for places, but lets look for possible locations for that and extra ideas that we have with the specific locations. graphic design im in charge of that

Thursday concludes our pitch and statement of intent and we’re awaiting feedback for it, however there has been suggestions and cautions of working with children and where and when to start looking for them. Nicholas has encouraged us to get the ball rolling as being able to coordinate children’s schedule may take quite a bit of time and our shoots might be pushed back to February during our term break, which we will have to accommodate accordingly. overall we’re very happy with our pitch, having looked at all aspects from story, to characters, to risks, to locations and to budgets. We hoped to have given a professional pitch, while also evenly dividing the pitch for each member to show our passion and seriousness in the project we want to finish our degree with.

Ive put the file for our fundings, there is a list what we will have to do this week to prepare to start getting money from people. Everything related we will put in the Kickstarter folder in the drive. we can start looking for kids. We do not have a script ready but we have the idea of the story and outline, we can also get the short bits of the script if actors will require some. But mainly if we find someone who is interesting for our project and we can afford, we will have to pitch their parents and them
