Filming & editing: Just an Update


     So for today we are discussing the details of everything going on so far for the film from my perspective. So as you know I am working with a group of girls and we created a pitch that basically is about two girl bestfriends and one of them dies from leukemia. This is a drama film made as a dystopian story. So we have just about everything we need as a group to move on to filming. However, we have really busy schedule's so we do have to do some date changes for filming which we have not yet started because were still prepping for everything. 

    We are all juniors therefore, we needed time to study for our SAT's. Of course we took that time to make sur we were able to get some studying in. everything has been as huge success so far. We do need to finish gathering the props we will be using and due to corona we will have my mother there as apart of our safety team. This means we do have to make accommodations for her work schedule. Everyone has mask and hand sanitizer for the times that we're are not filming and are handling other things behind the scenes.

    We have not stared filming as of yet but we have been brainstorming ideas as seen in our storyboard. We also have not had to make any location changes as of yet seeing as the weather has been playing nice with us. But, I am working on get a reservation for indoor spacing; just in case we have some of these technical difficulties on our filming days unexpectedly. After realizing we made some mistakes in our storyboard we went back to fix things and adjust our scripts a little. It was a little overwhelming but as a group we were able to effectively breakdown the work so that everyone is doing their fair share of work.

    I made some actor changes when typing up the storyboard and informed the girls on my team. I am still waiting on their okay to approve this change as team. I added a new character name Faith she will be playing the role of Kim's cousin. She is a minor part in this movie but she in key to Kim's survival in a way that she s completely clueless of. The next move for us is to work on our music choices and find out what permissions we need to finalize the things we want to do for our film. This is going to be a great film opening.
