Finalising

This post will outline our final choices for costumes, location, actors and props before we commence our first filming session:

Location - We have decided to film the whole of our opening scene at the location that I highlighted earlier in my blog, the empty warehouse, as it has a number of different areas that we can use to film different sections and is relatively easy for us to get to.

Actors - All of the actors that I discussed earlier in my blog are available on the day we plan to film and so we haven't had to make any changes to our original plans in this area.

Costume - We have managed to find two hoodies for Sam L and Ned to wear and a windbreaker for Sam S to wear, as we originally planned. We have instructed all three actors to wear their own jeans and trainers which should be fine and fit well with the look we are trying to create.

Props - We have been able to find all of the props that we planned to use in our film however we had trouble finding an unbranded plastic bag that was large enough so we have had to resort to using a branded one however we hope this won't be too much of an issue.
