Currently, our research is going quite well, but I think that it is necessary that we continue to link the research to our production for a greater effect. Yesterday, we put the focus group on Final Cut Pro for editing, but it is taking a while to load and transfigure all of the configurations and what it needs to so that it can be as clean and effective as possible. I have spoken to my Uncle, and he is prepared to be involved with our production in the form of the Detective. His acting experience in Amateur productions and previous short films means that he is a great actor, suitable for this role. We are continuing to look for locations, and we are planning on writing an email for St Andrews Church, Countesthorpe after half term so that we can be 100% certain whether we can film there or not. Hopefully we will get permission, but if not this will be one of the main challenges for our production because of the old fashioned mise-en-scene of Film Noir and our lack of awareness, money and time for big locations. Lastly, we have completed the first survey, but the responses are coming back slowly, so this is preventing our progress on this in particular.
