Casting has always been an issue with our film, as for the roles we wanted we couldn't find any actors/actresses who were willing to come to every filming day and also because of the location people didn't want to travel. So on Tuesday like we had planned we arranged to film the second half of our trailer- the scene where the couples get intoxicated in the park. As we couldn't find actors we decided that Georgina and I would take part so that we only had the task of finding two characters. However after speaking to lots of boys to play the roles of the "boyfriends" none of them were interested or willing to help, therefore we decided that we couldn't change it to four friends as we felt it would be easier to cast girls then it would boys. Again we couldn't find people to take part due to other commitments. So it narrowed it done to just Georgina, Tobie (who has been there throughout the whole process) and myself. We felt that we could film this scene in another way to still make it effective with only the two of us however after looking back at the footage it honestly didn't have the same effect as we had liked. This has left a dent int eh groups ideas about this idea for our trailer due to all the negatives-
- The location
- Unable to find cast
- We are running out of time
- All of our footage that we had shot never worked so we would still have to re-film
- No one is excited about the idea anymore
As we will have to re-film all what we have done, we have decided to pick another idea and try and film it as quickly as possible. We have already decided on the idea and have done all new research and created a new storyboard, synopsis, screenplay and filming schedule. Although the filming deadline is Friday 16th of October we have picked to film most of it in school therefore we will be able to catchup quickly and hopefully people will be more willing to take part.
