Acting

As for acting, I will be acting as the mom of the child. I will be keeping my name as Grace as well. My three year old niece, Amzie, will be playing the role as Sawyer who is the daughter of Grace. Jackie and I both got permission from her mother to let her act in our movie due to the genre of our film. The man stalking Sawyer will be played by her dad so she is familiar with him and it is not someone she isn’t comfortable with. Before Jackie and I start production, we will consider that we are using a young child so she may not behave as well for us as we shoot. However, since we chose the park and playground as our location, she should be able to act accordingly. As for scheduling, we will have to shoot when our actors are available, obviously. We will most likely shoot on the weekend because this would be the best time for our actors. We will also have our actors practice their parts many times before we start shooting so they know exactly what they are going to do during this two minute opening sequence. Jackie and I will also have the chance to critique each other as well as our actors during this practicing process just so we do not have any mess-ups during production and shooting.
