Production Blog: Busy Bee's

So again my groupmates and I have not begun to film. However plans to film this weekend coming or during spring break even became an option for us. Idline has been busy with work. I have no transportation. Rohanna has not received her schedule for the week to come and Nishayla has her practice days. I have put all my sports and extra curriculars on pause.

I have been overwhelmed and tired lately. School alone is really taking a huge part in this but its okay because everything for this part of school is going well. Nothing has changed once more everything is still the same. We are just waiting for everyone to get settled and adjust to things again. Since changes are being made and things are just happening everywhere the main priority right now is to just make sure that we all stay safe and protected so that we actually can complete this project.

There isn't much to discuss but with all the things happening in our daily lives things definitely aren't boring. Its all actually really chaotic but its manageable. As long as we keep pushing and get to finalizing these dates all should be well. The group tried this weekend but I just had a accident with my car and I wouldn't be able to drive since my car is acting up. I would need to take a lyft or uber wherever we are located.

Luckily the place isn't to far when traveling by car. Now the only concern for me is time. I have communicated to the girls that I will be paying for a ride so the timing is everything in these moments for me. Therefore, I asked the girls to let me know at least 24 hours before we are scheduled to go. This provides convenience for me seeing as the pricing maybe be lower if I can schedule the ride in advance and give the times that I need the ride as well.

Genre Research: Romance & Drama

Romance is defined by intimate relationships. In some cases, there may be a twist but at the end the main point in films is about the pursuit of love.

Production Blog: Spring Break is Over

So we are back from spring break today and everything is in order. Although, we did not film and we did not communicate over the break. I could have predicted that but in that time I did text one group member Nishayla and she was talking to me about an idea she had about changing a scene by the pond I'm not to sure what is was about I don't really remember. However, if any changes are to be made then everything will be adjusted so everything aligns properly. That is if she decides to bring it up to the group. We decided to do icebreakers have discussed our grades and how our break was before getting to the hard work. In doing so, we came to agreement that things over the break cleared up and the break gave us time to organize our lives to get everything in order. Fortunately we now have clear schedules allowing us time to film. Unfortunately though in the last minute I did happen to misplace my camera and I eventually will find i...
