The drama begins!

 

Hello everyone, 

    I hope you all are well. In the last blog, I talked about how me and my groupmates were planning to meet up to get ready to film again. Well, the day has finally come! Earlier this week, me and my group met up again at my house to film. We focused on the middle-portion of our video. There was a lot that went on, so I'll break it up into two blogs, one for how we planned, and made edits to our initial idea, and the second one will be about the actual filming.

    So without further adieu, lets get started. We had a slight drawback with our casting, because one of the people that I had planned to be in the group wasn't going to be able to come, and I didn't want to delay any longer, so we had to improvise. I noticed that some of the scenes had all three of us -- me, Makenna, and Karina -- in it, and no one was able to film, so I had the camera set up, so we could all be in the clip. Additionally, with a lot of the scenes we were going to film, we didn't have an exact idea for the location, and there was also a lot of construction going on in the area.

    This made us have to think harder about where exactly to film. After we had that out of the way, it was time to get permission to film inside the store we planned on going to. We wanted to go into an ice-cream store, Kilwins, so I asked one of the employees there if we could film. They agreed, and were quite nice. And not to mention, the ice-cream was delicious, I very much recommend. We forgot some props as well, like towels for a later scene, and that was a drag. Me and my group had to walk all the way back home to my house to get the towels, just to film one or two more scenes, but it was worth it in the end. 

    Finally, that leads me to my last topic, which is even more planning for our next meet-up. I had the idea to do it this Sunday, but it didn't work out for us. So, as of right now, nothings set in stone. But it has to be later in the day to film, because I think it would be more dramatic if the climax was near sunset. In any case, thats about it as far as planning goes for this week, but stay tuned for tomorrow where I talk about the filming!
