Pre-Production for Hounded

As Alice has mentioned, the name of the script has been changed to Hounded, as the team wants the title to relate to the female character as well as the movie within the film.

I've managed to pre-book the Kaleide theatre premises as our cinema locale shot. Being in the Student Union does have its perks after all! Turns out if you wish to book Kaleide for free, all you have to mention and proof that:

1) You're a RMIT student
2) This is for a student assignment

and voila we have the cinema foyer.

The team was a little concerned about the sound coming from the theatre itself on the day of filming. Marc from the Student Union Arts had indicated that some auditions or sound testing on that particular Saturday, and we just had a terrible experience with our sound from Lenny.

Then we realised, hey! it's okay for sound to filter out to the foyer. It 'is' a cinema foyer after all and when has a cinema foyer even been quiet?

I like the lady Lily picked out. She looks absolutely believable as a cinema ticket lady. She's not too pretty, not too threatening and genuinely looks the part as an everyday Janet. It's important for us to pick the right lady as she needs to show 'genuine' boredom and 'faked' interest without even trying too hard.
