Indiana Jones
So there is a new Indiana Jones film out, but the last film in the trilogy is called “The Last Crusade”. That’s a bit embarrassing for them now, isn’t it? The only way they could have gotten out of that is to have the current film named, “Indiana Jones: Tricked You”.
The Casting Process
Latenite films told me to “get more educational” in my blogs. What I told them to get can’t be reproduced online.
Anyway, I’m going to write a little bit about what I have learnt on the casting process.
There are many different ways to find actors for a production. Once the production team have decided on the characters they are casting for, they may send an audition notice to acting and drama schools, or even post audition notices online.
After the responses have been sorted, auditions are organised and take place. An audition is sort of like a job interview, but for film people. So a “film interview”, or a “few”. What happens in a casting session differs depending on the project and what the director is looking for. It could be a brief 5 minute general chat to the camera, or up to 30 minutes in latenite film’s case, where the actor will also read from a script.
After the auditions are over, the production team reviews the audition tapes and asses who is the best for the role. It is unfortunate when so many talented actors compete for a small number of roles.
If you auditioned for this film and don’t get a part, I would call Chris and complain on *number withheld for legal reasons*
Dream Catch Me
I’ve been thinking about that Newton Faulkner song, “Dream Catch Me”. There is a line that goes, “dreams catch me when I fall”, and to be honest, I really don’t think an intangible force like a dream would be able to catch your weight. Sorry Faulkner.
What this film needs…
Latenite films didn’t ask me to, but I decided to write down some ideas and things to use in the film; “Transfuse”, I think it’s called.
Tom Cruise.
Wether you love him or hate him, he gets the bums on the seats.
Or in Oprah’s case he gets his feet on her couch, but ignore that slight setback.
A Car Chase Sequence.
Bang. Smash. Flllizzzz. All cool sounds that you’d hear in a car chase sequence. Cinemas these days can make the sound pretty loud, and who doesn’t love a car flipping in the air and smashing into a truck. I reckon if they could put that in the film it would be a summer blockbuster. Maybe even Oscar winning, or the Australian equivalent, Grammy winning.
3D
The film has to be in 3D. I went and saw U2 in 3D, and it was like they were in “Nigel: D”; that is, right there with me. I think “Nigel: D” actually is a pretty cool name, I might use that. Don’t try to steal it if you were thinking of it. Anyway, this blog is proof I thought of it first.
A Hottie.
Seriously, if there isn’t a hot girl in this film, then I am out. That’s all people go to see in films these days. Transformers – hot girl. Jumper – hot girl. Horton Hears a Who! – hot girl. It’s a must.
Introduction
Hey guys, Nigel here.
I just got a work experience gig helping out with this production, so I’ll post some stuff on my experiences here. I could probably post pretty often coz I do nothing all day, but don’t tell the latenitefilm guys that because they’ll give me more work to do. So annoying.
Anyway, hopefully I’ll update you some more soon.
Keep it real homies.
(You could be “homies”, I don’t know . Up to you how you respond to that)
