My film is on temporary hiatus and has been for about 3 weeks. I had planned to get a day of filming done this Sunday but due to actors dropping out/equipment issues and disorganisation (my camera came and I wasn't in, they didn't leave a note so I got it 2 weeks later) things have been very slow.

I am now planning to head down to Brighton next weekend to spend 4/5 days working with some close actor friends of mine so that i can get as much done as possible with them. This gives me more time to completely visualise the sketches and start to surreal-ize them.
 
So the feedback for the short talking tests was very positive. Surprisingly positive in fact. The problem with this short test was that it was a short test, and the script was very limited and simple, as were the actors (I don't mean they were simple) but it wasn't completely thought through.
What I plan to do this week is to try and write a number or short scripts and use more people. Each film will then explore a different theme surrounding Facebook and how we communicate. Then each theme can be explored without confusion and mess.
So I have some themes to look at and ways to explore each one. 
The first theme will be that "fun" repetitive side.
I want to look at arguments, love, adding friends, unfriending people, frape, noise, responses and others. But for this week, I want to look at friending and flirting.

People I spoke to seemed to prefer I keep it light like a bit of a piss-take, which is what it is, however I may explore some darker themes such as what happens to your FB profile when you die? Perhaps you become trapped in it?!

I also want to continue trying to explore profile pics - perhaps using live video and making people stand still in we

More to come.

I also want to build an interface which will be a mockery of FB, probably called Facespace... or Spacebook. Just to replace the blackness around each video and to make it a bit more obvious.
The beauty of this is that however I lay it out now, it can change and expand.
