Plans gone wrong yet again

After the mishap that happened the first time, my group and I thought everything would go good this time. Again, my peers and I tried to make plans. It was decided to film the following weekend. This would be the weekend of the 25th and possibly the 26th if we needed another day of filming. However, it then came up that Dara and I had to attend a beach clean-up that weekend for our club. Since we're both club officers, it wouldn't be fitting if we said we couldn't participate in the clean-up. Addison and Violet wouldn't be able to film the scenes independently since they both act in the film. Therefore, it was decided that my group and I would sit down and figure out a set date for filming when everyone knew they would be able to film. After a call, my group and I decided to film on the week of the 6th. Violet would pick everyone up in her car and go to Addison's house after school. However, I didn't want to just sit around and wait until we were all able to get together and film. Instead, I decided to do productive work with the editing portion of the project. I went online and kept looking at possible music that could be used for the film. I had found some songs from my previous searches that were copy-written, but they didn't really stick out to me. I wanted to keep looking because I felt that there were better songs out there. I also worked on figuring out what props my group and I would need on the day of filming. I decided on a cake and a string rope, but I couldn't figure out if we needed anything else. I figured I would simply ask my group members later. It wasn't really an urgent issue anyway and maybe it would come to me with time. After this, I went on with trying to find good music for the film.

Plans Gone Wrong

My group and I were supposed to start filming at minimum one day this weekend. My team and I had planned to get started on our film and finish at least a couple of the first clips. If not, it would at least provide a feel for how filming is going to go. Unfortunately, this was not able to be successfully done. It soon came up that my peers and I had previous commitments that weekend, which were not able to be postponed. For example, my mom told me when I got home that we would be visiting my friend out of state that weekend. I would be gone from that Friday night to the next Sunday morning. This left me no time to film since it would be too complicated to film on a school night. This is because I live so far away from everyone else in my group. By the time I got home from filming, I wouldn't be able to have enough time to sleep before I woke up at 6 the next morning. Therefore, I had to let my team know I couldn't make it that weekend. However, I assumed they would still be abl

Storyboard for Time for Dinner

Scene 1: The first five seconds will show clouds going down with "...Presents" and "...Production Company."  Scene 2: The next scene is a tracking shot of a very vibrant neighborhood with the actors' names.  Scene 3: The camera gets closer to a house and shows the film's name. Scene 4: The camera goes into the house slowly. Scene 5: The camera continues throughout the house that looks very put together. Scene 6: The kitchen is a little messy-looking and says "The Music by..." Scene 7: Two girls are shown talking muted as the "Directed by.." is displayed. They are stiff.   Scene 8: Sara grabs a chair and sits as she says her first line stiffly. Scene 9: This is a close-up shot of Lynn and she says her first line very smiley. She has a lot of makeup on.  Scene 10: The camera turns to Sara as she says her next line wearing a lot of makeup. Scene 11: The camera watches closely as Sara gets out of her chair stiffly and asks Lynn if she wants

The Editing has Officially Begun

We finally finished filming all of the clips necessary for our film. The last couple of things we had to do included getting Nicole to record a couple more missing scenes at home with her tripod. After this was done, we were finally completely done with filming for this project. We were able to start on the editing immediately. One of the first things I did was record myself screaming. This was so I could add it in as a voice-over over one of the scenes. Before I could do this though, I had to make sure of some things. I made sure that I did it around the middle of the day when most people were awake. This is because I live in an apartment complex, so I didn't want to upset my neighbors. I also didn't want to upset my own family by yelling too early or late in the day. I also told my family to not be alarmed by my scream because I had to record it for a project and I told them to stay quiet during it so their voices wouldn't be heard in the background. I actually ended up
