Just when I think it can’t get any more stressful, what happens? It gets more stressful! It has been hectic. With only two days really to go now, KC, Pete, and Andrew have been working flat out in trying to make sure we start shooting on Saturday, and make it as smooth as possible.
I began the day by finally sorting out the film insurance (for a crazy amount of money!). I then met up with Andy Ormes to check out a new location. We then went back home, got in the car and drove to Chigwell. There, Andy’s brother-in-law, Tom Livingstone, had got together a few bags of broken bricks and wood for us to use to create the debris from the destroyed buildings. He was practically offering anything we wanted. 
Then, back at home, I’ve been liaising with the others over the phone and email, and trying to get my own stuff prepared for the shoot on Saturday.
KC (Assistant Director) has been trying to schedule and work out how everything is going to happen. From something like: how long it will take to make the actors look bloody and dirty, to how long it’s going to take for them to be cleaned up for the next scene!
Andrew (Locations Manager) has been busy trying to finalise the locations, working out where actors and crew will be able to eat and rest, where we’ll be able to park, and a hundred other things.
Pete (Director of Photography) has been going crazy trying to get rental companies to open up on the bank holiday weekend just to let us use the equipment, as well as pulling out his hair every time a location is changed and having to work out how the lighting is going to be again.
Andrew Ormes (Production Designer) has been working hard on some “Global Order” related posters and flyers that will be on the walls and floors in some scenes, adding more depth to the world we are creating for this film.
I’ll try to update before the shoot, but it seems very unlikely with the amount of work that needs to be done between now and then. I’m going to be meeting the key crew tomorrow morning again to do a recce.
