O.k we have a problem. It has now come to my attention that due to various actor's unavailability we are not going to be able to get all three actors together on the same day. This is partly my fault for not realizing what needed to be shot and thereby putting my foot down when my flakey actors said they couldn't do certain days last minute; they didn't realise how much money I was spending on this film, let alone that it was for my degree, hence their blasé attitude. What I've had to do now is to re-storyboard things so that we shoot the scenes that involve all three actors far tighter thus showing only two actors together in any one shot. This is doable but hard. I will just have to do it on the day and prey it works. If it doesn't then I'll just have to re-write the script so that it becomes something easier to shoot.
The new storyboards cover the episodes where peter is kicked out of the shop and where peter bumps into keith right at the end of the film.
Re working Peter being kicked out of the shop isn't too difficult. All I need to do is have Trudy stand away from Peter and Keith (I've made her lean on a postbox) and then come into the frame once keith has left the frame.
My next task is a little trickier. In this scene Keith hands Trudy the mug. He has to, there are no two ways about it. So the handing has to happen out of shot. I will end up shooting tight to Trudy's face so that we don't see her hands. If this works then I'll be very pleased with myself.
