RIGHT.....

In the last few installments we have made some dramatic changes to our piece, changing the plot, location and actors. I just going to sum it all up for us. Because readijng back, seems a little confusing..

OK, so:

We are filming in Thurston, Stowmarket, and Norwich train stations, the fact that the train we need to catch goes through all of these.

We are not using Will, I asked him, and he has other media commitments to attend to which is fine. I rang my friend Martin, who is at the local college (WSC), who is doing a media course, as well as being a former media classmate of Jeb and myself. He is able to act for us which is great, but he tends to be quite funny, so maybe if we want a serious clip, we'll have to consider his role. I also rung my friend Cameron, who is in a different sixth form doing a similiar media course. If you want to see his blog for his film click here. Anyway, he looks a lot more like what me and the boys imagined our main character to be, and, probably would take this role seriously, which is excellent. So, concluding our characters, we have two candidates for the main role, and we can incorp' the other in the piece.

In terms of costumes, we have asked both Martin and Cam to bring various items of clothing, and we'll bring a notepad on the day, so we can write down exactly what they were wearing, keeping the continuity of the film, uh... continual. We are planning on using on of those russian hats and some smart/casual clothes.

We are OFFICIALLY FILMING on the 19th of January - which is a MONDAY. meaing that we need signatures from both parents and teachers.

As long as my camera is the right format, then we will be taking two cameras, to conserve time and make that time efficient in the amount of shots we do.

Well, that's it for now, we'll keep you updated on any minor changes, but besides that - THE CHANGES ARE MADE, NO RETURN.

P.s. We are having a little trouble contacting the police about filming on the train and train station. So.. if we can't get through soon we may just have to take the risk of having to explain ourselves - nothing big.

Josh - out.
