Just thought I'd say how I think things are going at the moment.
Mostly GOOD. The footage we have at the moment will be very useful because we have filmed the same lines from about 8 different angles, and in our editing time, we have split it into groups of the same lines, which will make it really easy when it comes to editing and choosing which shots to use. Also, Mrs Thrasher said we had "masses of potential to be amazing" which is good!
We had a bit of a panic on Wednesday concerning our male actors. Originally, Holly and Amelia had volunteered to use their dads as the murderers, but after we wrote the script, neither of them wanted to use their dads because the script was "too creepy". Plus, it is Amelia's dad's 50th birthday on Saturday, one of our shoot days, and she was uncomfortable with his character perving on her character (even though it wouldn't be shown in the action, just implied to happen later). So we were stuck, two days before our shoot, with no male actors.
I asked my dad if he would do it, and he said "OK, if I have to", so now we had 1 male actor, but one more still to find. We were going to try and ask some of our guy friends, however they are all 16/17 and we wanted men because it will look more professional and make more sense if the murderers are older than their victims. Then my mum had the GENIUS idea of texting the son of a really good friend of ours, who is studying acting at "Guildhall School Of Music And Drama", one of the most prestigious of its kind. AND he looks PERFECT for the role. So I texted him, not expecting him to say yes, but he did! So we now have our two male actors, both available for Saturday, and all is good!
So now I'm really eager for Saturday's shoot as I think we are going to get some fantastic footage.
