First Character

We finally found a protagonist!

        It took a while to figure out whether or not Hayden and I were going to use one of ourselves as the protagonist, but we eventually decided not to. It took us some time to decide this part, as we weren't sure whether or not the two us being both producers and a character would go with efficient film-making. We ultimately decided that the it would be better if the producers(ourselves) wouldn't actually be in the film, and instead had somebody on the outside of the project become a part of it solely for the role of the protagonist.

        The process of finding somebody to be a part of our film was the easy part, as Hayden has plenty of friends that run track, and does it himself. Hayden eventually found Vicente Faret, a student who's also completing a Media Studies Portfolio project. Being a friend of both of ours, and also somebody who understands the objectives of the project itself , it'll be extremely beneficial to have Vicente around, as he'll understand the production techniques that we're trying to use, and will also be another voice of advice for us throughout the process.

        The benefits of having a good friend around, along with the cons of filming and acting ourselves, makes it a no-brainer to have Vicente acting as our protagonist. He's experienced on the track, so trying to make him "look" like an athlete won't be an issue. The three of us are looking forward to working together on the film, and learning more throughout the process.
