Production Diary: 11th November

Today marks a fresh start for my short film production.

As you will be aware of, my main actor who I was previously planning to use, dropped out of the project. This was a huge blow to my progress. I would be lying if I was to say that it didn't slow me down.

However, I have resolved this problem, using external resources that I had at my disposal. As I mentioned, I wanted my original actor because he dresses in a smart and stlyish way, which was very much the style back in the 1930's. Once he dropped out, I thought I was lost. Luckily for me, I wasn't. My cousin Dylan kindly offered to work on my film with me, taking the role of the main character. Dylan has a certain style in the way he dresses, which is almost perfect because it is very "smart casual" based.

Another benefit of using Dylan is that working with him will be very easy. I know that he is reliable and will always want to help me.

As for my film...
On sunday afternoon, I went to pick up some props from my Grandparent's house in Rickmansworth. These props are extremely conventional to the time period that my film is set in, and I will be putting some pictures up later on today. I plan to transform my bedroom into an office for a few scenes in the film, so these props were vital when trying to add a feel and look to my sets.

I am going to be picking up a camera from school today, along a tripod, and I will hopefully be filming my short film by Thursday.

Thank you once again for reading my blog.
