Originally I had made a group chat with all the actors I needed in my film, I told them the date I wanted to film a month in advance, and everyone had told me that they were good to film that day. The night before, I text in the chat asking "hey just making sure everyone can go" and the guy who was playing Mark says "hey I work tomorrow I can't" and I FREAKED OUT. I asked everyone a million times and everyone said it was okay so I was furious and I panicked because I didn't know who else I could ask. Luckily, one of my best friends who goes to school in Michigan was visiting for spring break and I begged him to be in my film and he said yes. With that resolved I calmed down a bit and went to bed. The next morning I began getting my props and equipment ready as seen here:
Then I got a call from my friend that was now playing Mark saying that his mom is mad at him and he can't go, so I freaked out again. His mom and my parents are very good friends and my parents knew how this important this project was to me and my Aice Exam, so they texted his mom and begged her to let him go. She immediately said yes and he was able to go again!! Keep in mind this all happened at 3:30 pm when I was scheduled to film at 4:30, so If my parents hadn't of convinced his mom I would've had to cut Mark from my story which would've caused a huge mess and yeah. That aside, I drove to Markham with the guy playing Asher so we could get a head start on some of the shots that I had to film with only him. I did the insert shots first (of the cross, the glove, and the hut) and then did some location shots of the campfire, the camping sign, and the forest. Then, my other actors came and I filmed the car shots, the leaving the car shots, the campfire shots, and then it was 7 and the park was about to close, so unfortunately I didn't get to finish the shots I needed to get of just Asher. Luckily, I see the actor who plays Asher a lot so we are just going to film the rest of the shots over spring break. Here are some behind the scenes pictures:
I will update when I finish the rest of the shots and I will add some footage that I took into my next blog.
