Even though we have had a solid idea and plan for our 2 minute character study film, as well as our 10 minute final film, for a while, over the past two weeks we have been having a huge problem with our locations and mainly actors. Our producer, Ellen, has been working very hard with getting into contact with actors, locations and scheduling a shoot day for our 2 minute film. However, on three separate occasions now we have had actors pulling out on the day due to illness or other availability issues, as well as just losing contact with them. This means that the locations Ellen has booked for us go to waste as we have no one to fill the positions of the actors and therefore nothing to shoot.
Although this isn't my area and role within the group to sort these things out, I do sympathise with Ellen as there is nothing we can do about this apart from trying to re-schedule and carry on with what we have. The issue now is that we still haven't filmed anything and with the deadline fast approaching it will be the post-production side of the film that will have to be rushed, meaning both myself and Luke (sound recordist/designer) will have to really rush to produce a final film and we may lose quality in this area.
I hope that we will be able to not let these setbacks affect the quality of our final film too badly, and not lose the hope and motivation we will need to get this ambitious film to be a professional standard piece.
