It's frustrating when the problems in form of you are out of your hands. In my case, my problem is being unable to film this week due to not having time. As I need two girls in my opening scene to act, I casted my sister as Jocelyn and myself as Cassie. I thought it was perfect because as my sister, she couldn't really say no to me. But I think I underestimated how busy she was going to get when having an internship to get done. So her time to film was either very limited, which turned into barely anything. Or being already dark when she's available.
I've been attempting, but failing, to cage her in right when she gets home so we can record. But that's also difficult since I work after school and have overall conflicting schedules. Fortunately, we manage to squeeze in a day over the weekend to record. I wouldn't have all the time in the world, because she likely only made herself available for two hours. So now I know I'll have to have everything prepared for when I go shoot.
From experience in the other project we've done, when there is a time crunch, the easiest way to record is to do it chronologically. This helps with continuity, keeps order of clips that helps when editing, and it's easier to keep track of. I've seen several famous movie productions shot the same, even if it is for another variety of reasons. It has worked well for them, as nobody can deny the success of E.T. (1982), The Breakfast Club (1985), and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) are some highlights!
