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.

Production diary : 24th October

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.
