Shooting Day 1: Re-Writing Script/Actor Switches
The day we were set to begin filming Gabby texted our group that the couple who was supposed to play the couple would no longer be able to be in our film because our filming time was too late - we were set to begin at 9 once Gabby got off of work. In order to adapt to this unforeseen situation though Gabby contacted 2 of her male friends who she thought would be willing to be in the film, and they agreed. Unfortunately, no one could think of/find a girl willing to act, so we decided it'd be best for Luise to play the girlfriend.
While all of this transpired I was out of the house and hadn't yet had the opportunity to create the new script that we'd be using. Since changing the story slightly and removing certain things it was necessary we change the script as well in order to account for the additional time we'd now have to use on character/plot development, A couple of hours before people began arriving I wrote the revised script, and once Gabby arrived I had her check it over, resulting in this:
The scripts were printed and given to Luise and Jorge - Gabby's friend who'd play the boyfriend. Gabby helped Jorge as well, by playing the girlfriend when they were running lines. However, after a handful of takes when it came time to film, we collectively decided that Gabby was more suited to act than Luise. Gabby now had to double up as the director and an actor.
