Last Wednesday with a lot of stress we did manage to film all the rest of the scenes and are up todate with the schedual. It went well and hopefully all the shots look ok we did it twice so we are able to pick the best one and have more editing opportunities. The only scenes to do is the teacher scene which is being done tomorrow and Jimmy and his mum which if all goes to plan should be done on wednesday. However this may be a struggle to fit it in with our actors as it is the last week of term and there is a lot going on around school. Once it is done after christmas we will move onto editing and we have started talking about what we could do such as for the titles we were thinking of pausing the shot and their name coming up like in 'Mean Girls'. This would give it a younger exciting feel as well as be a good part of editing.

We have now started filming and have compleated the first four scenes. The first three went well once we got it organised and got into the swing of things. It was a lot easier then we thought it would be getting the actors ready as we chose a time to film when everyone was having free time and not doing anything. The main problem we had was the classroom scene which we started to do nearing the end of the day. This meant people wanted to go home and so we were a bit rushed towards the end and so it may have to be done again. Luckily we have really useful actors and so it will not be an issue getting them to do it again if we can fit it in. This Wednesday we planned to do four more scenes to find everyone is busy period three for a class and on period five our main actor is busy with a class. As a result we are having to move some to tomorrow night after school and try and do as much as possible. If what is on the schedual done tomorrow and wednesday we will still be up to plan and we are also hoping to redo the classroom scene and only a little part needs to be changed. Now we have altered the schedual hopefully it will go well and get done. At least we have three scenes done already which having a look at today, it looks as if we will be on track to use these.
