Casting (reflection)

          As I previously stated, our cast worked very well together. However, there was one major takeaway from this experience I will make sure to fix in the future, the unintentionl comedic atmosphere. In my earlier casting posts, I discussed Mr. A's and Liam's student-teacher dynamic, but what I didn't realize was that their relationship was less strict and more fun. By fun, I mean that the two often had a playful mood while delivering lines. This served as a slight issue because it caused more takes to be done which created a rushed set.

Final take

        Overall, this leads to me to believe that casting close friends as the lead roles in a film can come with some flaws. If I were to focus on our currect situation (Liam & Mr. A), I would say they did an amazing job with what they were given. So yes, we shot a lot of takes, but they broke down that friendly wall and really embraced their individual charcter
