Major Project: Sunday League Character Change

In the start of Sunday League during casting er found our Tom, played by Daniel (Dan) we did the table read, he memorised his lines and we felt he was a great choice of character for the role, and also has the photoshoot and signed the contract.
2 weeks before filming I exchanged contact with him, like all the actors to make sure everyone was ready and had the time off, when he told me that he had been called up for duty duty but was trying to get out of it so he could still be in the film, but unfortunately he couldn't get out of it, leaving us with no main character and feeling a bit screwed as we really liked him.

we had put so much time and effort into everything for the film and him now we had to find a replacement and fast, the worst I felt was that he was one of the strongest actors we had.
After all he team on board and all hands on deck to find a replacement, including Helen and Chris even though it wasn't their job we managed to fins a replacement within 3 days and after having a Skype interview due to lack of time we found him and all thanks to Helen for pointing us in his direction.

This was brilliant news and it happened so fast which was great, the only thing that we forgot which would affect our work is that we would need to re-do the title sequence as we couldn't have 2 different Toms' but we was restricted on time but the boys reckoned that we could do the same shots as the pervious one just have to shoot the same 3 shots and this could be done during the shoot week, this was reassuring and falling back into place.


This is the first title sequence with Dan in.

This is the title sequence with the new Tom - Mitchell. 

Another problem we occurred is that not only the title sequence would have to be re-done due to character change but also the poster as this has to also be handed in and couldn't have a different person on. The problem with this was we couldn't just replace Dan like we did in the title sequence as for one Dan is wont to Malik with their arms around each other so would be tricky and a lot of editing to do for Chris, also we did a photoshoot to have pictures of everyone for the poster etc and because we did this last term with Dan Mitchell unfortunately wasn't involved in this so we didn't have any pictures of him like the others.

We needed to come up with a new idea for the poster and after the struggle the first time around it wasn't looking hopeful but Chris played around with this an came up with a simple yet effective idea of the screen grab from the title sequence of the split screen with all the boys in, this was simple but we all loved the idea.

This is the final poster (second one with Mitchell in)
 

This is the original first poster with Dan in.
