Filming is planning to go ahead this Saturday, as I have managed to get the actors to agree on times. However, I have had to make a few changes to the script to cater these changes. It's nothing massive, and it doesn't really change the plot of the film in a significant way, but they had to be made.
The first change is that Nathan is going to get changed before they go out on their walk. I have been un-able to acquire the costume that I had wanted Nathan to wear throughout the film, the dressing gown, so that costume will only be appearing in the first scene. (I have decided to film the first scene later on, possibly after Christmas.) While this is annoying because I wanted him to have that costume for the entire duration of the film, there isn't much I can do about this unless I re-shoot. The other change is regarding the dialogue, which doesn't quite fit with the new actor I have.
I have ordered the Grim Reaper's costume, however it's meant to arrive Friday. In the worst case scenario that it is late, I'll be left without a costume for my Grim Reaper, which is crucial to his image. If this is the case, I'll shoot the scenes as planned and use them as test footage. Test footage is better than no footage. My actor did send an audition with a Grim Reaper costume, so I may use that for the test footage, so it may be salvageable.
Reflective Comment:
I feel like filming is becoming much more likely now that we're approaching the first filming date. I've got my actors sorted, which was my biggest worry. The script is ready, costumes are some-what ready, and I have a plan.
