Filming... Tomorrow.

 So we start filming tomorrow. Finally. I wanted to get this part done sooner but I was building my filming schedule around my actors' schedules. Which did not go as planned...

There were a couple issues with my initial planned actors so I had to make a deal with my siblings to help me instead since my other friends/options were unavailable since they were on vacation somewhere else.

I wanted the main character to be my little sister who's 13 since my brother is only 10 and has listening issues. Not that there's any abnormal neurological issue with him or anything. Maybe he does, but he's undiagnosed. The point is he can't listen to instructions. Except the thing is, he ended up being the main character. I had to think about it for a bit. I think it makes sense (a little bit) that he is. The main character gets lost and a child at my brother's age-- it makes sense for him to get lost. By replacing the actor and therefore character to be younger, it may increase the fear that is supposed to be evoked. Being lost is a scary thing to many. Being lost where there is a lack of people to communicate with is scary to many. That's why I chose a remote-looking area with a lack of people. Being lost in an unfamiliar place as a child is scary. Children are unaware of many dangers and being lost in an unfamiliar area alone with little to no survival skills due to their young age and naive nature... yes, I think it'll work out.

We're going to film at Markham Park. Props I'm bringing are: 2 backpacks, my cat keychain, and a camera. The secondary character will be played by me and this character traveled into the woody area to take pictures for... art references. It's not very relevant to the story, so I'll probably leave this information  out. So yeah, a camera. I'll also be bringing a tripod. That's about it.
