First cuts of filming

Filming

We were scheduled to film yesterday however our actress, Belle couldn't make it due to school commitments, we fear this will happen more often as the reality of her being at a boarding school could make it difficult to film fit to our schedule. So far we have done around three quarters of our orginal idea of filming, of which we are very pleased with and have started editing, we have a few gaps that we need to fill in however due to our protagonist female being at a boarding school, we are only able to film on the weekends. The footage we have of Belle could fit to a previous idea we had of having 3 women going through different problems in life, we thought Belle could be the grieving wife, from the footage we have this already shows this. Another girl will be an alcoholic, and the other a women who has many sexual parteners, for these other two characters we are going to use myself and my partner Sarah as we have free time and it makes sense to be able to use each other whenever so overall it works out easier. We will start filming in the next couple of days.
