Post 4- Casting, March 6th, 2018

Today, I was able to cast the leads in my opening. They will be played by my mentors and teachers from my community theatre company, who just so happen to be married in real life. The chemistry between them will take no effort at all and will show up clearly on screen, which will make it easier to focus on other elements during filming.

Having believable chemistry is something that plants the seed for the audience's investment in a film, and I believe that is how I will achieve success.

I decided to use a VCR overlay throughout the entire opening to emphasize the homemade footage aspect as well as the early 2000s time frame. The Pauses and Plays and Stops are at different times,...

filming delayed
