I spent the weekend sourcing props. It's a job that will take me right up until the day before the shoot but I have located most of the trickier items that I need such as a hatchet, boots, a small radio and rope, and I expect to easily pick up the rest in the next few days.
I'm working from a prop list that I prepared last week. I also scheduled the shoot and will be sending copies out to my crew tomorrow.
I will also book the equipment tomorrow. I've decided to bring one of the new DSLR cameras along because it will potentially help with the low light, but hopefully the Z5 will do the job. It can't hurt to have a second camera anyway.
Kev is busy working on the sound and score, and the crew and extras are up to date on how the shoot stands.
The story is still evolving slightly in my head but nothing that would require a script redraft. I think that having a solid script to work on is essential, but I'll also try and get shots that I think up on the spot. It's a good way to add to your piece, especially when you know that the script is ready even if you don't have any added inspiration on the day.
This is a picture, of my fictional family, that will appear in 'Last Dawn'.
