Hello, my name is Mila Rakic and I am a student attending Fort Lauderdale High School. I am currently 16 years old and in my junior year of high school. I decided to take this class again because I really enjoy filmmaking for fun. Ever since I was little I've always been fascinated with people filming and editing videos to create amazing finished products. I used to spend a lot of time as a kid on YouTube and on T.V. watching different people, places, and things. This interest in film has only gotten stronger the past two years with me being quarantined in my house due to COVID-19 in 2020. I would watch a lot of YouTube videos on my laptop to cure my boredom, and many of those videos are usually made by kids my age. Having nothing to do anyway, I turned to filming and editing videos of myself as well, creating sort of knock-off YouTube videos. I filmed many things, ranging from daily vlogs, videos of me doing my makeup, videos of my practicing volleyball, and the list goes on and o
Day 1: On 9/29/2021 we began filming clips for the first time. We agreed to use my phone because it had the best camera. After this, we decided to go to the courtyard first because there were fewer people there. This way, it would be easier to not get others in our shots. One of the shots we filmed was an over-the-shoulder shot where Nicole, acting as a little girl, opened the lunchbox to reveal the post-it note. We were going to film this shot on the ground in an area in the shade but decided not to. We agreed that by filming her sitting at a table in the sun, we would get better lighting and a nicer, higher angle. Since this was the first shot we filmed, we had to refilm it a couple times until we got the hang of it. By the third try though, we understood how everything was going to work and we knew exactly what to do. For another shot, Violet was going to play a little boy at Nicole's school. We used my oversized green jacket to dress Violet in so she resembled more of a boy.
I was so excited to finally film today and bring my group's and my ideas to life. The plan was for Violet, Dara, and I to all go to Addison's house after school that day. Addison wouldn't need a ride there because she had stayed home that day. This was exactly what my group and I did. However, before going right to Addison's house after school, Violet, Dara, and I realized we needed to go to a store quickly to get some missing props. My group and I decided to go to Target because it was close to the school and had everything that was needed. After talking and texting with everyone, it was decided that Dara, Violet, and I would look for a cake and a rope. My group and I also decided to look for a large spoon since barbies are miniature versions of people, so pairing a large spoon would help bring that out to viewers. When Violet, Dara, and I went to Target, there wasn't any vanilla cake that was originally planned for. However, there were found two slices of a choco
