Fiction adaptaion: Actor replacement

On the day before shooting, my friend who was going to be one of my actors had to drop out of the shoot, so I had to find a replacement. I asked a few more friends, but they were all busy, and couldn't change their schedules due to it being such short notice.

I therefore had to ask a few people on the same course as me. This was not what I wanted to do, as I wanted to try and have people off the course in order to experience having to direct people that I did not know. Eventually, my friend George agreed that he would help me with my project.

Documentary unit: Jackie interview

So we could get an outside view on fake fear, we were able to secure an interview with an actual adrenaline junkie, only thing was, she's 73! She was amazing to interview, and her answers were so descriptive, which gave us some area to play around with during the edit. We needed to rearrange the house to better suit an interview, and when we realised that we would have to do that, we were glad that we were filming in one of our own homes instead of Jackie's house, or in a public area, as we then had control over the whole environment. Jackie was a pleasure to interview, as she was very relaxed and had a great sense of humour to match.
