Building a website and uploading relevant documents
A website was built to document the working process. The layout and the division of pages were considered, and a general layout was drawn out before the website was built. Also, research was done on which platform to help develop the website. The final choice is “Wix.com”.
After deciding on the layout and platform to use, the actual building of the website was started. I chose black and white as the primary colours for the website to match the central theme. Other supporting colours, like grey and navy blue, are also used to decorate the website.
After setting the general layout, documents and related passages are uploaded to the website according to their categories.

Rewrite the script outline and character design
After submitting the script, I tried to read it and count the time needed. I discovered that 15 minutes is required to read the first and second scenes. Therefore, the total time of the current script would be very long, at least around 80 to 100 minutes. The possibility of being unable to finish the whole project is high. Therefore, I tried to cut the script. However, the transition of each scene will be awkward and weird.
Realising that I could not cut the script, I decided to scratch the original script and rethink the script outline for writing a new one. Also, the character design must be more thorough in creating possible conflict and the intention of action and wording. Therefore, character design was reconsidered, and a new profile was made.
After rewriting all five character designs, the script outline was written. This outline aims to keep the final script short but with the same world setting and fewer scenes. Therefore, the script outline differs from the original, and some characters’ routes and endings have also changed. The outcome of the new script outline is six pages with fifteen scenes.
Preparation of recruitment materials
Since the work (final draft) needs to be done by 5th April 2024, and the holiday will be between February, recruitment materials must be ready before February so the talents can start recording during February and March. The work can be finished on time. Recruitment materials were drafted, such as application forms, requirements, promotion materials (IG Post Design), contracts, and email templates. Also, social media pages and groups that can be used for promotion were researched.
However, since the new script was not written, I used some characters’ lines from the original script with massive emotional changes and the overall personalities as the audition line.
