For our film, we need 4 actors. I am very close friends with a girl named Jasmine who is on her final year of her performing arts course and she is an extremely talented actress. I met up with her on Sunday and she agreed to be in our film as the main character. She is free on Tuesday from 2:30pm onward, and on Thursday from 12pm onward. As she isn't required in the first scene anyways this will allow us to film the first scene in the office during the morning and then the scene with her in the afternoon.
We need an actor to be our school counselor/therapist and therefore require someone who is over 25. There is an actor named Peter Macqueen who lives over the road from me, however, I want to secure a location first before I ask him, as it is an hour to drive to Carlisle from the village where I live. If we get the location secured then we can hopefully find a way to work around it. If Peter can't be in our film, we will have to ask a tutor or possibly someone's family member who lives in Carlisle for ease of access.
Ethan sorted out a second actor, as he knew someone else who was also on the performing arts course. The girl that he has asked is going to be the second main character Belle. All that we need now is someone to play the minor roles of the counselor and of the girl speaking to the counselor in the first scene. The first scene is the scene that I am most worried about, as I don't know if we'll be able to sort out an actor over 30.
Once I've sorted the locations and actors, I'll be able to create a shoot schedule. A shoot schedule is very important as it helps to keep everything organized so that we finish filming with plenty of time for editing and such.

Group Conversations
As it is half term, most of our group are busy or can't easily get to Carlisle, so we are conversing in a group chat to keep each other up to date with what is happening. While it isn't the most effective way of communicating due to people maybe not reading all the messages or missing them entirely, it is still better than not communicating at all. I am going to try and see if it will be possible for everyone to meet up for an hour or so on Friday, as we don't have to have a long meeting we just need to confirm that everyone knows what they're doing and what's happening when. I am hoping that by Friday I will have heard back from someone at my dad's office to confirm that we can film there. Below are some of the conversations that we have had. I have blocked out everyone's surnames for privacy reasons.
