Unfortunately, the people we relied on as actors continued to let us down. As it came close to our deadline we had to quickly find an alternative. We quickly came up with another storyboard and changed the reason why Nathan's brother had died. We as a group decided we was going to have Nathan's brother die because he had been abusing drugs. He had started taking drugs because of the pressure and influence of drugs. He then dies and Nathan feels responsible and is being blamed by his mum, Nathan then goes to the same place where his brother died and commits suicide. With this storyline we was still able to use the same footage we had recorded before we had to change the storyline. We was also able to keep the ending the same. This meant that there was not too much we had to adapt to. However, time was an issue, because the actors had kept letting us down we constantly kept rebooking and we lost days of filming. We have also changed the name of Nathan's character and kept his name as Nathan rather than Kevin and we kept Aaron's name as Aaron rather than Jason.
Another issue we was faced with was the timing in the day, Nathan's brother Aaron was at school so on the days we we're all free to film was weekdays and we had to wait for Aaron to come back from school and still hope it hadn't got dark. When it did eventually get dark we had to improvise and use the flash on our phones to provide some sort of lighting. As a group we were able to pull through this and looking back on the footage it was all useable.
