More Post-Production

After having our script read by some actors in our seminar I feel even more confident about how this film is going to turn out, they had some minor criticism that sounds like it could really help us especially Chris who had mentioned to me that he was starting to become unsure about what he was meant to be doing as a director and how best to go about it. After the session he did seem to be rejuvenated which I am glad about as we will need a good director if we are going to pull off this idea.

With the criticism still fresh in our minds some of made our way to the library computers to make the changes that the actors had suggested and just neaten up the script a little in general. With a complete script in our minds me, Amy and Chris made our way to ‘Uncle Sam’s Diner’ which Chris had assured us was a perfect location for our bar scene. We had no trouble acquire permission to film there and even arranged to arrive in the morning before the diner opened so that we wouldn’t have to worry about other customers getting in our way. Since we had permission we took a few photos of the location so that we could show the others what sort of area we were working with, I think it really helped us to see this location before we started filming as it gave us an idea as to how much room we had to manoeuvre the actors and equipment at the location.

This is a picture of the Diner we plan to use, Amy is representing where
Rita and her husband will sit and I am representing where Johnny will be sat.

t was after we had organised all of this that we received the devastating news that we wouldn’t be able to get equipment out over Easter and our filming date of the 13^th fell just after the deadline for equipment to be returned. Hearing this new myself, Amy and Chris headed back to the uni to see if we could get hold of someone who could help us solve this problem. Unfortunately at this point we haven’t got a clear solution to the problem.
