Cast Updates

           As stated in our previous blogs we have changed the filming date to Saturday, December 12th. Close to filming day we had a drastic change in our cast. We had first planned for about six people to show up to film. Unfortunately, our main actress who could not attend before also could not attend on the 12th. Then our side actors said it was not probable he would be able to attend either. We were sure our other side actor would be able to make it. We decided to plan that the two would not make it and we would work with our side actor who could make it. For this new plan we would have to change the script to accommodate the two actors being unable to attend. Sadly, we were very busy this week with other classes since midterms are coming up. This caused us to be unable to make changes for the script before filming so we planed to go off script and change it after filming. Another problem arised though, which made our filming plans do a total 180. Our side cast member mixed up the days and said he could attend because he thought filming was on Sunday. Since filming was not on Sunday he was unable to attend and was the only male cast member we had. We have two male characters so it would be harder to film their scenes. We, as a last resort, thought we could just have our remaining female actors dress up as the male characters by wearing hoodies and putting their hair a certain way. Our main actor also informed us they would be unable to come. We had planned on them not coming though, so it wasn't as drastic as our only male actor not being able to come. Luckily we got confirmation from one of our original actors that they could make it. Our group, plus her, and one of our group members friend who was willing to help were going to be filming on the 12th. That would make four people instead of six people filming. We went into filming with high hopes and trust in our plans even if made last minute.
