Unknown FeedSadly, a special mention for our beloved university frisbee which has become a casualty of filming. Whilst shooting in the park I was in the background throwing the frisbee and the wind caught it and blew it in to the river!!! Attempts to save it were abandoned and it floated downstream…it will be sadly missed by us all.
Anyway…
It has been caught on film and will be displayed in the bloopers section of our footage ha ha ha andy
Just finished filming for the day and its been really great!!! the two actors that we got involved, Karen and Joe were amazing and did a really good job, so its all smiles now!!! Fortunately the rain held off just about long enough to film the park scene, although we were all wet and cold, we got what we wanted. However a trip to park by me on friday proved useful as I had worked out where would be best to film what we wanted and saved time on shoot day.
Personally I was panicing a little bit as on friday we hadn’t got the house location and confirmed that both actors were going to turn up, but after a few phone calls it all paid off. The house looked the least likely house that a person with an OCD in cleaning would live in but we made it our own by covering things in white cloths to give a sterile look to it, it seemed to work!!!
The two actors were really nice and did a good job for us and we repaid them with lots of coffee and bacon sandwiches ha ha
All in all when we played the footage back we were really pleased with the results and we all had a great day. Roll on the editing next week!!!! andy
We’re really really happy now, we have finally got our short film ‘Afraid’ shot with our two fantastic actors Joe and Karen. We are in the stages of capturing the footage from the MiniDV tape and later in the week we will be editing the film. A quick review of the footage just before our actors left put huge smiles on all our faces.
The following are some location photos I took with my SLR camera to get an idea of where we could put the camera when it comes to filming. Consideration was taken to find an alternative location if it rained but I found a few benches under cover which would work if the weather is bad on shooting day!!! Enjoy, Andy
We have finally finished casting for our actors and managed to get two actors who are willing to perform for our drama.
Joe Healy

Joe is from Wolverhampton and was the first to answer to our casting call for our character Tom
Karen Heslington

Karen was one of many casting replies. We where about to choose someone else but that morning Karen applied and we decided on her as she was a lot closer and keen to work with us.
We believe these actors will be able to perform perfectly for our short film.
We are currently going through more and more redrafts of the script that we are developing, and I saw this quote and thought it would make a cool title and how true the quote is. Mankiewicz was an american producer and film maker so he knows what he’s talking about…
Anyway, we have had several redrafts from the original script that Lousia had drafted, each changing parts and ideas. We had a meeting with James, our lecturer, and he gave us a few ideas. The main problem we are having is we always seem to come up with two solutions or drafts to the issues in hand and can’t choose which is the best direction in which to take. Although this is good as we are refining the draft to be the best that it can be, but at the same time it’s still rolling on week by week and the constant agreement/disagreement is being to get annoying. I personally can’t wait for a nice tight script to be finished, which I’m sure will come eventually and we are doing well with it but still, times ticking…
So where are we are now? Well, We have once again got two directions with the script and both of them have the same scene that needs some consideration. As we couldn’t agree on which would be the final script, it was thought best to write another two versions and see which is best. That way we will definately have a finished script this weekend and we can quickly move on to storyboards. Andy
