Acting

I haven’t gotten around to those vocal exercises, but I will.
I’m happy with my costume, it motivates me to train harder and diet better for the performances as I’d like to look in my prime while performing, so I’m gonna cut my bodyfat percentage from 13% to 8-10% in just under 10 weeks, if that means anything to any of you. :p
Character-wise, I’m sufficiently satisfied with the blocking we’ve done.
I think I need to work on the scene where Ketu hangs himself most, I need to work on really grasping the emotion that Ketu would feel; the feeling of being outcast from your own kin for your beliefs, I need to picture that and BECOME Ketu.
But I think I’ll do that more when I begin to memorise lines the day after my birthday.
This whole thing’s been a journey and I’m about to enter the difficult part of it, I’ve been through exploring the character and soon I’ll have to work on the character transformation.

Publicity

This is the fun part…
I called the Age and Hume Leader and got this from them:

THE AGE
$7.51 per line
Heading - $15 per line
Package - 30% off for every ad that goes over 7 days.
whowell@theage.com.au

HUME LEADER
1 module, high or wide 9×6.3cm
2 module, high or wide, 9×13cm/13×9cm
Running ads over the weekend costs more so I’m thinking scratch that.

5 insertions = 5 weeks - For $350 per insertion for 2 module
5 insertions = 5 weeks - For $190 per insertion for 1 module

Ruth took my name and gave me her email.
burgessr@ldr.newsltd.com.au

I found The Age system a bit confusing but the Hume Leader was very straightforward which makes things easier.
I’m required to send in ads at least 3 days before the date we want it to be in the paper for, this applies for both agencies.

I am yet to call Officeworks but will edit this blog tomorrow once I have their prices on the posters.

JUST ADDED>>>OFFICEWORKS
A3 Colour posters cost $3.20 per poster.
So if we were to print 40 posters then that’d be $128 out of our budget.

AND NOW FOR SOME DESIGNS…

Our “TEMPORARY AD” which was put into the Aitken paper a few weeks ago -

I have no idea what’s going on with the FAME program.

As an update of last week’s little reminders list:

-Call Officeworks on Monday.
-Confirm Farmhouse Productions logo in class.
-Taking photos on Tuesday, making poster design by the end of the week.
-GO TO OFFICEWORKS AND PRINT POSTERS and hang them up around or by the end of the month.
-Ads sent in to newspapers by the 5^th-12^th of April (Depending on which week we want it in by)

There’s plenty of work to get done but I’m not stressing, we have plenty of time on our hands.
Erika and I need to see Coops sometime during the week to discuss our budget.
