Last Friday, both our actors; James and Caroline, were confirmed for the roles of Charlie and Ellen, and we're very excited to work with them!
The first day of the schedule is prepared and completed; there are only four scenes in the film so three will be done on the first day with one scene being done on the second day. If we run over time on the first day however, we will finish shooting the remaining scenes on the second day. The second day schedule is being slightly tweaked but is almost completed.
The equipment that we need to loan out for shooting, was booked on Tuesday morning. We still need to get the actors to sign release forms, but we will be arranging to do this soon.

Production Meeting: Three
7th March 2013
On Monday (4th March), we held our casting call and were very pleased with everyone who showed up. Pearse and I went over the footage that we shot from the auditions, and based our decisions on that.
The script was blocked out further and we went over it twice to make sure we wrote down everything we needed to get, or just in case we missed something out. Our shot list was completed too, but we still need to add some panning shots as well as our stationary shots that we have written down.

Casting Call for "Moving On"
4th March 2013
Our casting call was a success! Out of seven people that were interested, three came to the audition and they were all fantastic! We were really impressed with how the casting call went and how all three were so nice and really up for playing the roles.
We had chosen two separate extracts from the script for the actors to play out while either Pearse or myself said the other lines back to them. This was done after they read our monologues out for us.
We told the actors that as soon as we made our decision, we would text them and let them know.

Production Meeting: Two.
28th February 2013
Throughout the week we had sent out some online advertisements for the two roles that we were casting. We advertised on Gumtree and Twitter, and were overwhelmed with how many people were interested in auditioning for the film.
Seven people got in contact with us during the week and on the 28th, we sat down and discussed when we should have a casting call so we could see the actors and how they would perform the script in front of us. We also agreed that Pearse would type up a short monologue for the son, and I would type up a short monologue for the mother character.
During this meeting, Pearse emailed the head of the HND Performing Arts department in the college as well as making a start on the shot list. We will be using Pearse's house for the shoot, and because we only have to use the kitchen, bedroom, hall way and a living room; we can stay in the house for the entirety of shooting and not need to travel to a number of locations throughout filming.
Before the meeting ended, we decided to have the casting call on Monday 4th March at 2pm; we didn't give the actors specific times, we just stated that auditions started at 2pm to make it easier for anyone if they were able to come early or if they were running a little late.
