Casting
Casting was a real issues for this project like I've stated in previous posts. Eventually we went with a middle aged man to play both the elderly man and the younger man and our reasoning for this is because he fit the part perfectly. With a beard he looked far older than he actually was, because of this we didn't record the intro in chronological order. We filmed the 1950's parts first where he had a beard, once we did this he then shaved it and we moved on to record the flash backs.
As for the son we had a few ideas and initially had a different actor who then was unable to act in the end causing us to use our other actors son which worked out very well as they look similar.
Overall casting took a very long time to decide as we wanted this to be perfect which meant perfect casting.

Editing has come very close to an end. We've changed a lot of things during the editing. To begin with we have put all of the clips together in chronological order so the film actually makes sense. Next we added the music over the top. We spent a large amount of time making sure the music fits perfectly with the audio clips. After this we needed to slow the footage down at certain points for effect. Finally we needed to change the colourisation of the opening to make it seem colder. All of this took a lot longer than we had thought it would but we're extremely close to finishing and hope to finish by the end of the week so stay active for more!

Hello everyone. Filming has finally come to an end and we're extremely happy with the footage we have got! Now begins the hard part, editing. For the most part we have actually finished the editing, we have gotten the lighting and the transitions fitting in perfect with the music. Now we're moving on to more complex stuff such as key framing our titles which is something no of our group knows how to do but we're learning! We hope to finish this by the end of next week and it will be released soon! stay tuned for more updates!
