Production Blog: Finalizing Dates to Film


     On march 29th my team and I discussed the dates. They initially tried Sunday but I was informed way to late. I couldn't make the last minute film. So they were going to film without me which was fine but it wasn't possible seeing and my understudy wasn't able to make it anymore. This was leaving them with no choice but to cancel and reschedule once more.

     We tried to film later to see how that would go. I was given an much earlier notice.  I was able to make the date and so was everyone else. Allowing us to continue with our regularly scheduled program. This allowed me time to schedule and order a lyft ride to get to the park.

     This also gave me the opportunity to figure out my situations for transportation getting back home from the park. We all managed to come to an agreement and we began the next step of checking everything off our list. It was to ensure that we have all of the possible needed props with us. This was just a double checking to make sure that we don't have to keep going back and forth about what prop is needed and why we don't have it. I was also thinking in the back on my mind who should bring a copy of the storyboard along just to make sure that everything stays on script. 

    I reminded myself to bring that up to the group and see if someone could bring a copy. I would do it myself but I do not have a printer at home and my phone does not have service at the moment. These are part of the reason why it is so it was critical that I had everything in order before I left home. Otherwise I would be stuck without any source of communication and alone seeing as the other girls would have to go home afterwards as well.  These are all things that I am thinking about before filming day gets here and we begin our filming journey
