Today we finally started to film shots for the ‘film with the message’ about autism and anxiety. Even though I’m autistic, I actually played the part of someone who wasn’t autistic because I had a set way I wanted it to be played and I wasn’t sure someone else would play it in that way so I played Chad. Today it was mostly practice shots and I don’t know if we’ll use any of today’s shots in the final film or not. Time will tell but I do know I really enjoyed it today. It’s moments like today’s that make me really glad that I chose to enroll on this course. I also printed off the script three times for all three of our cast members to have. I was a bit worried that the lines would be difficult for everyone to remember. But we recorded each line separately which made it easier.
