BSA131 Week eleven - Producer and Director

Preparation for my shoot

I planned to shoot this Friday and Saturday but because TJ is also shooting his music video on the weekend I would lose most of my crew. And because I haven't found any male actor till now I thought it would be a better idea to move my shoot to another day. So I asked my crew if it is okay if we shoot the drama sequence on the coming Monday. I spoke to Angie about it, because she offered to do an acting part in my music movie. I booked the equipment for Monday and asked Angie if she would lend me her car for taking it from the SIT to the set. 

Because I'm not shooting in the Otepungi Gardens Saturday I have to get a new permission from the Park Department for shooting.

I hope I can finish all the scenes for the drama sequence Monday and then I can do the other shots on the second day of filming. Just need to figure out a new day for that because I need nice weather to film the stuff in the park.
