I had originally planned to finish up my filming on the 14th/15th. However one of my actors (Ronan) is now unable to film on this date. I am unable to do the 21st but am available to do the 22nd. We're now planning to film on that day.
However I am still waiting to hear back from Ronan, and if he can't film on the 22nd I'm in a difficult position. Peter cannot film on the 28th/29th. This would only leave me one weekend to film, the 4th/5th. This definitely too close to the deadline of the 10th.
To counter this, if need be I can film on several Thursdays. Thursdays I have media P1/2, and the rest of the day free. This would offer plenty of time to get filming done. If my two actors could do just one of these dates, it should be fine. The dates for these would be 12th/19th/26th.
Reflective Comment:
Working with actors is stressful. They cannot help it, but you rely on them massively. You have to work around their schedules, which can make planning production very difficult. However it does make the film look a lot more professional rather than using student actors who aren't overly keen about being on camera.
Tell me about it. You are doing the right thing though. Keep checking and double checking with them.
