Focused on catching up on outstanding tasks from previous projects to ensure everything is finalised.
Worked on completing the project proposal, aiming to finish it by the end of today or tomorrow.
Behind schedule on initial research, particularly on defining inspirations and music video conventions.
Received and uploaded a recording of the FMP pitch, as well as condensed feedback from Paddy (who forgot to save full feedback).
Nearly completed the context section, with only the project proposal remaining before shifting focus to research.
Started planning research topics using a structured whiteboard system with a table of contents for better organisation.
2. Feedback & Progress
Feedback from Paddy was incomplete, but key points were captured during the pitch recording.
The pitch feedback is being uploaded to YouTube and will be linked on the context page.
Schedule and project planning are mostly complete, with the research phase about to begin.
3. Challenges & Solutions
Falling behind on research – Needs to be prioritised urgently. Solution: Start research this weekend despite work commitments.
Weekend workload (10 hours per week due to job commitments until after Easter) – Plans to manage time effectively with a stable sleep schedule to maximise productivity on weekends.
Delayed casting process – Initially planned to start casting immediately after the pitch but hasn’t yet. Solution: Research casting processes, explore local theatre groups, and create a form for potential auditions.
Choreography considerations – Needs to determine whether to cast dancers who can choreograph their own routines or hire a choreographer.
4. Upcoming Plans
Complete and finalise the project proposal within the next day.
Begin initial research, with a particular focus on casting (which needs to happen in parallel with other research due to tight time constraints).
Create and distribute a casting form, advertise in relevant spaces, and contact theatre groups and casting agencies.
Explore audition requirements and the logistics of casting actors and/or dancers.
Next progress update planned for Sunday, 16 March, to track progress on these tasks.
5. Additional Comments
Recognising the need to balance work and project commitments efficiently.
Aiming to maintain twice-weekly progress updates to stay on track.
Hoping that better organisation will help offset the delays in research and casting.
