Filming Rearrangements

At the beginning of this week I had organised times with my actors to film. Unfortunately, every single one of these times have been rejected many ways. Although this has made me frustrated, I need to make sure I am still organised.

I was going to shoot the school scenes on Thursday lunch time, turns out that it is a free dress day, meaning I need to film on Friday because I need everyone in their school uniform.

I was going to shoot at the health centre on Friday morning, a lady who works there will be using the preferred filming space on Friday morning (and no other morning of the week, how convenient!).

I was going to film at the Langford Theatre on Thursday afternoon. Apparently, another group of girls had booked it out before me. Hopefully we can work it out, though.

Hopefully I can get my rough draft done by the weekend but at this point it doesn't seem possible. I know that this is because I had put other people's film projects before mine. I had agreed to film with people to get their finished before I considered what days I needed to film mine. Putting my own film project before other's is something I need to work on.
