Actor Wrangling

It's been really difficult to get the actors I need to all be together in the same place at the same time, which is really frustrating - my lead actor's free periods don't really match up with anyone else's, and he hasn't been coming in if he has no lessons, but I haven't asked him to give up a lay in yet. I going to set up a group chat and sync everyone's schedule. Post incoming later about other problems I just know will crop up

Thoughts so far...

I've written down all the actual work I've done - the writing, the research etc. but I've been thinking a lot about the script and stuff. While I understand teenagers aren't supposed to care about stuff, but I really really want this script to play well - I still need to come up with a better name than Julian, but I can't think of any. I want more gay RomComs, and I'm pretty happy with what I've written, although that may change after I film.

DANGER!!!!!!!!!

So we have to do a risk assessment - What could go wrong, what to avoid, etc.


But we're filming in a school, inside, so there's very little actual danger.

• Risk one: There will always be trip hazards, so when I'm prepping my set, I'll clear the floor of mess, and they can focus on acting.
• Risk two: Accidental violence - Someone could be hit by something: an actor banging into another, someone walking into something. To avoid this I'll inform my crew to be as careful as possible, and should something occur I'll contact someone.
• Risk three: FIRE! Should there be a fire, I'll immediately keep my crew away and pull a fire alarm

I can't really think of any more risks, but if I do I'll update this.
