Casting Issues
For the film I was told that the people we could use are students who do A2 Media Studies in Barking Abbey or people from outside of the school, but we can't use people in school as they will be in lessons.

This was an issue for my group because we had planned to use our friends in school who don't do Media which was because they fit in our characters and we could see some of them acting very well in their role. All of the people we knew from outside of school were busy in their schools or working so we couldn't use anyone from outside.

The other problem was that the other A2 Media class has only one boy while in our film the two characters are boys. What made things even worse was that Edward (the boy in the other class) is quiet and he has told me already that he hates acting.

At the end of the day there isn't anything we can do so he accepted to be in our film and we asked our teacher if I could be in the film and she accepted it as long as I am the bully because I can't be the main character which is Harry.

Hopefully things will go according to plan after this and our film will go well.
