Let's be honest. Who hasn't ever dreamed about being famous? Hollywood is a place of envy for young and old alike, and everyone wants their chance in the spotlight. Perhaps you've dreamt of being an actor. Or maybe you don't want to be in the spotlight yourself, but you want to support the movie production by being a cameraman or a director. Every movie has a compelling story, there's always the writers that are responsible for captivating the audience. If you have a passion for makeup or costuming, then there's a place for you in a movie to create the beautiful looks of the characters that match their personality.
Well today is your lucky day, because you get the chance to help create a highly-anticipated film! This may be your big break, or perhaps you're a veteran of filmmaking. Maybe you've been promoted and assigned with more responsibility, or--God forbid--you've been demoted and you're stuck doing easy, simple tasks. Whatever the case, you have a job, and there are people out there that would love to be in your place right now.
Of course, the production process isn't all fun and games. There are bound to be problems and obstacles that everyone has to suffer their way through. Hollywood loves a good scandal, and there's no guarantee that you won't become the victim of one. The industry is very vicious, and there might even be sabotage from rivals. What if your key actors get into a fight, and refuse to make up? Unseen adversity can, and will pop up.
Is this film going to be a success, or a failure? The results are up to you...
If you haven't guessed, this roleplay is about filming a movie! I'm thinking that this will mostly center around the "Production" process of Filmmaking.
You can be anyone in any position you like (provided that it's still open), as long as it relates somehow to the filmmaking process. Some jobs within filmmaking are: Directors, Assistant Directors, Unit Production Managers, Art Directors, Costume Designers, Makeup Artists, Actors, Extras, etc etc etc. You could even be a rival director popping in to spy on everyone, or the manager of an actor. Crazy stalkers are an option too. Keep in mind that again, this roleplay will be in the Production process of filmmaking. There may be some jobs that don't have much to do with that part of the process, so just be cautious about that.
I actually don't know too much about filming movies, and I'm not expecting anyone else to either! If you know a lot about how the process works, great! I'll be counting on you to help me keep things more or less realistic. Otherwise, this will be very informal, and very light-hearted. I'm counting on drama, tears, friendships, fights, and possibly some romance. There will definitely be bumps in the road, and twists and turns.
As for the plot of the movie itself, I'm thinking of creating plots (and you can help me come up with them too!) for different genres, and we can all vote on which one we all want. While it's plausible to do this roleplay for multiple movies, I'm not quite sure how that will work without creating a different roleplay altogether.
Positions and jobs will be first come first served, and you can reserve jobs for 2 days. For obvious reasons, there can't be 5 directors, but if you discuss it with me and the other person who already claimed director, perhaps we can make room for two.
If there are any questions, please feel free to ask them! Also, if you have any movie plot ideas, please post them here! If there's ample interest, I will post the OOC, but I think it would be better if we all agreed on a plot beforehand. Whatever the case, hope you're joining this :)
, my interest is interested.
