I was originally planning to film my short film over the weekend, on the 26th and the 27th. However, due to my actors being unavailable for these dates, I've had to move things around. We're now planning to film on the 3rd and the 4th of December. If for whatever reason this doesn't go to plan, I have two back up actors however if things do not go to plan.
Instead, I am going to use this weekend to get some test footage. I'm going to go to my location, film some footage and then test the sound and lighting. I imagine I'll have more control of this in my house, so testing the footage outside will be very important.
If I am unable to film on new dates, I'm going to have to push it back another week. I'd rather this not happen, as I need to get filming out of the way as soon as I can. My plan is having the majority of filming done by the end of December, and then the ancillary tasks done by the end of January. This will give me February to make sure everything is finished to a good quality.
Reflective Comment:
Getting close to the end of term, I did start to panic a bit when my actors said they couldn't film. However I've worked my way round it and hopefully everything we'll be going to plan. I knew I'd likely encounter problems like this when I decided to find actors instead of using friends, but I'm hoping the pay-off will be worth it.
