Difficulties and Casting Changes

Casting Changes:

Unfortunately, we have had to change the actor who is playing the role of Edward Virago due to complications with scheduling days that all of us are available for shooting. Continuing with this actor may have resulted in us being behind in our work and could even have caused us to not finish the production of the film. Therefore, as a solution, somebody in our filming group ''Iris Productions'' will now take the place of Edward's role in VIRAGO and the costumes and props provided by our previous actor will still be available and used in the final picture.

Difficult shots:

Due to the many risks it would take to dupicate the establishing bike shots we have already tested with my own camera, we have been forced to make the decision to not try re-shoot them. Doing so could result in not only the risk of breaking college equipment but also the risk of being seriously injured. We will therefore use the raw test footage we have already and edit those into the final film. Doing this will break continuity in terms of the costuming being changed as well as a possible change in weather between shots. The establishing shots may  also look drastically different to the rest of the film due to the camera used to film the test footage only shooting in 720p as oppose to the college cameras that shoot in 1080p. We hope that this will not ruin the immersion for you and our other audiences and will work hard on making thee shots seamless for the final cut of ''VIRAGO''.
