It Never Stops

 The filming never stops. We are at it again at Nicole's house to film another scene in our film. Before this day, we did not communicate before hand about what we would film. The only thing we talk about was the time we would meet at Nicole's house. Since the films we needed were during the day and we were all busy in the morning and most of the afternoon we didn't have much time to film. Once we go to Nicole's house we basically got straight to business and talked about what scenes we would be filming. We decided to film the car scenes with Pedro and Nicole before it got too dark outside. Since the time jumped in November, it gets dark pretty early so we had to rush and film. The scenes we wanted to do were pretty long so we had to go over the lines a couple times. I was not in this scene so I did my best to help film from the back of Pedro's mini coop and had the lines opened up on my phone. Some of the shots required me to get an outside angle and since Pedro do

Filming Again!

 Today we filmed again! Since we didn't film last time we planned on having another day to film. We planned to meet closer to the evening so we could shoot the nighttime scene we had planned. Pedro and I met up at Nicole's house around 5 pm. Before it got dark, we filmed another scene we needed in the park. Pedro was supposed to be a mugger so Nicole did his makeup to make him look dirty. After, Pedro drove us to the park, we went over the lines of what we would say. Pedro had to go over his lines a couple times because he couldn't remember a lot of them. We had to reshoot the scene a couple times because both of us kept messing up. Nicole also kept laughing while she was recording so we would have to stop and start again. Once we had the scenes we needed, Pedro drove us back to Nicole's house. Once we arrived to Nicole's house, there was still some light outside so we decided to wait it out because we needed it to be dark. While we waited, we ate some snack and jus

Let's Go Again

 Here we are again. Another day of filming amongst us. Today my group and I filmed another part of our final project. We filmed at Nicole's house again since that's where we decided we would be filming mostly all of the film. When we were all at Nicole's we sat and discussed which scenes we filmed. I had brought my duffel bag so we decided to film some of the park scenes that we could. Deciding this, we used Pedro's car to drive to a large grassy area near Nicole's house. I wouldn't consider it a park since there were not play equipment, but there was enough space to do what we had to do. We pulled up to the park and looked over the script to see what we were doing. The first thing I did was hop out the car and go over what everyone was supposed to do. There is a scene where I am supposed to get a call from an unknown number and since we were recording on Nicole's phone, Pedro called me from *67 so the call would come up from unknown. Nicole filmed my scenes

Let's Talk

As seen in the last blog, you know that my team and I were unable to film. We were unable to film because Pedro didn't feel well so we just cancelled the entire day. Since we cancelled everything there wasn't much for us to do so we waiting until we got back to school. Today we were able to meet back up in class to talk about what we needed to do. In class we talked about why we cancelled since Pedro didn't tell me why and what we did during that day. Since we have a long period we took a break in between to do other things. Once we realized the time, we decided to talk about the upcoming plans for our film. The part that takes us the most to come up with is the date. Since Nicole and I have jobs we have to coordinate our schedule, especially our weekend schedule since we are usually jam-packed. I don't know much about Pedro's schedule since we don't talk much outside of school. We know for sure Pedro doesn't have a job so he shouldn't have a problem wit

Mistakes Happen

 Unfortunately, we were unable to film. My team and I made plans to film some more of our film and we were unable to go through with it. Pedro has recently started a new medication and he wasn't taking well to it. He did not tell the group-chat, he only told Nicole and she texted in the group-chat asking if we could reschedule. To this Pedro agreed and I did as well because I was not up to filming either. When I found out the reason I did not question Pedro as to why he did not just say he was feeling good and I just let it be. I found it weird that he wouldn't just tell us both that he wasn't feeling well but it doesn't matter to me, I was just happy to not have to get out of bed so early. I would have had to get up early because Nicole was having work done in her backyard so we wouldn't be able to film for the time we needed. It was better for all of us since Pedro wasn't feeling well and neither Nicole or I felt like filming. Since we did not film this day, I

Start of Production

 It's finally here! My team and I have finally started filming our new movie. The day before, Nicole texted in our group chat to make sure that we are still good for filming the next day. I was completely unaware that we were supposed to be filming so I was caught a little off guard. I told them I forgot and asked my mom if she could take me since I still do not have a car. She said she could take me so I informed my group that I would be able to make it. Nicole threw around times that we could come over since we would be filming at her house, we all agreed that 12 would be a fine time. I arrived to Nicole's house after Pedro, we sat and talked a little before we actually started filming. We discussed where we would film each scene, how we would film it, and which phone we would film it on. We decided that since the beginning scenes were taken at night that we would film everything other than that. This brought us to start filming outside in the backyard, Pedro brought a chair

Uh oh!

 When talking with my group about what days we would be filming, we decided that this past weekend would be the best time. We set the time of when we would meet at Nicole's house and made sure it was good with everyone in the group. Unfortunately, at the last minute, we were unable to follow through with our plans. Pedro did not feel well, so he informed us and we all agreed that we wouldn't film. When we met up at school we decided what day we would film where it was good for everyone. We decided that this coming up Wednesday, the 8th,  would be the best day for all of us to film again. During class we went over our storyboard and what scenes we would shoot since we didn't have much time to film. We also decided what we would wear since this is a movie and we have to wear these pieces of clothing over multiple days. Since there wasn't much we could do because we were in class, we just talked about our plans and how we would execute our upcoming movie. We talked about w
