Production diaries are meant to be written by the producer of the coursework to give updates on the considerable amount of progress that has been made, however (and unfortunately) for your eyes, this is not.
In fact, this is an update to highlight my sheer dissapointment regarding the fact that my main actor (who shall remain anonymous) has dropped out of my film literally one day before filming was meant to begin. As expected, this huge set back has caused a lot of problems in terms of producing the film. Now, I am not only left with an absent acting position, but I am also left with the job of having to find another person. My previous actor was perfectly suited for the role of my main character, and I don't think that I will be able to find someone that perfectly suited again.
This is actually a fairly negative blog update, and I apologise for that, but I guess this what they are for. To give you, the readers an update of where I am with my short film, however much I have done.
I am sure that I will eventually find an actor, but none of them will be this perfectly suited, which is a real shame, because finding a modern day teenager who looks like a grown man from 1930's England is a difficult task.
However, despite how much of a set back this may be, you can never have success without struggle (That's my quote, but you can have that one). I guess I will have to live by quote for the duration of production.
I will update my diary as soon as I find a replacement actor. I cannot promise that it will be a long update diary, but it's something to read a guess.
Thanks again for taking the time to read this,
Connor.
