week one of filming "The Ghost Club"

haven't updated in a while due to my crazy // vampire like schedule.

all of our shoots are night shoots & I've been going in at 8pm & leaving around 6 or 7 am.

I've done night shoots before, but it's still so disorienting.

filming has been going well though.

the first day was kinda frustrating, but it's getting much better as we go on...

I've had a difficult time finding my character while maintaining the improv & naturalness the director is seeking.

this film has been a real challenge for me just in it's first few days, but I've already been able to learn & grow as an actress so much!

we did character interviews for the web releases & that allowed me to just be natural in front of the camera & talk freely as Noreen (my character) would. It helped a lot in figuring out who she is & more of her back story.

So far I have this:

she bites her nails because she just quit smoking.
she was raised by her grandmother.
she got into some trouble growing up.
she's always been good with computers, but never really put her mind to anything.
after her grandmother died she began feeling a presence around her.
this led her to researching ghosts & the paranormal.
she became a bit obsessed with trying to figure out how to contact her lost ones.
in this obsession with reaching the dead she learned about the technological aspect of contact with ghosts & then stumbled upon "the ghost club" following.
she met Tab (one of the team leaders) at a conference.
It was perfect timing because "The Ghost Club" was looking for some new techies.
Noreen signed on as the tech assistant to Parnell (the tech expert) and has finally felt like she is making progress in learning how the spirit world works.
She loves being a part of The Ghost Club's investigation & feels as if it's where she belongs.
In her free time she still tries to contact the ghost of her grandmother and is constantly searching for new ways to do so. She also enjoys spending time with her dog, Houdini, named after one of the original club founds, Harry.

As I continue to learn more about her as filming continues some things may change, but I'm excited to be getting to know her. :)

When the video diaries/interviews are posted I will put up a link!

Can't wait for you guys to meet Noreen face-to-face! :)
