Production Update: Narrative Changes

Due to my storyboard being changed at the last minute, I needed to include some photographs and potentially some actual shots of the male character talking to the antagonist (other female) character as a way of representing the idea that he might be cheating on the main female protagonist, and therefore causing a disequilibrium in the storyline, which is conventional of all trailers. Another character meant that I would need to cast another actor, even if it was only in terms of them appearing in the trailer when the prop of the photograph is used.

I cast myself as the third actress for my trailer. This was for two main reasons. Firstly, I knew what I wanted the photographs to look like and I have a good working relationship with both of the other actors and have known them for a long time, therefore it was easy for me to set up the camera in the position that I wanted it, and angle the shots myself, and then just tell my other actress when to take the photos. Secondly, it was in terms of convenience as I only just decided that another character would be essential to the narrative and therefore it was too short notice to find someone else and properly cast them as a lot of the people who could have been a possibility. I don't have the acting skills that would be essential for me to play a main role in the trailer, however because I only appear in one shot and in still images, then I don't think these skills were essential to make the shot effective.
