Problems in Production

Some slight issues have appeared when finalising everything for filming. The biggest problem is the lack of actors available. Originally I wanted to have three young children, around the age of 12, however after speaking to a number of people I cannot find any which are available to film, and because I have no family who live in this area, I cant rely on them either. Instead I have had to reconsider the characters, and try and work with what I have available, which for now is two of my friends who are seventeen.

Due to the difference in age, I have chosen to cut some of the script, especially the speaking parts of the children. Now the scenes where the children are involved, the camera will be facing the pavement (floor) as if it is there eye view, so the audience wont actually see the faces of the children, they will just hear them speaking to one another, and walking along the pavement. This is the easiest options I can think of, so that I wont have to completely change the whole script in the short space of time. The only time however the audience will see the 'children' is when there will be a behind shot, so you can only see their frame, again this hopefully will not give to much away about their actual age.
