 OKAY, so maybe I didn't finish editing. After we filmed, I went over everything the night of. I picked the best shots by favoriting everything but not anything else because I wanted to go to sleep. My original plan was to finish editing the following day but I didn't do exactly I wanted to. I added in the clips and made sure they were in the right order. I clipped them for it to make sense as well. But I did want to try and add some titles, however, I did not do so. I kind of don't know how to add titles that are creative or look pretty. Mostly because for my last few projects my other group member added in the titles and focused on editing. This project we are dividing the work to make things easier and fair. I am thinking of asking my partners to do the titles and I'll finish adding the clips and cutting them. I haven't said anything ebcause we have all been super busy. Omnia has been working many late shifts. Harley has also been working a lot recently. And I ha

 Guess what.. we followed through with the plan. We filmed today after school to reshoot all of the shots at the store. This time we chose a different shopping center because that last one had too many people. Most of them were older so they 100% thought we were trying to steal. However, this time we went to the shopping center by my house. It's very local so no one really cares what happens there, plus there is a side in the parking where no one goes so we would be able to film without any interruptions. Soooo we went to to the side part and filmed the parking part first, it didn't take much because we actually focused on doing our parts. However, the driving off scene took a little longer since Omnia doesn't drive. We had to get her in the car but change the angle so that someone else could drive the car. The point was to give the illusion of her driving away. We think it worked but I'll make sure later in editing. After the parking scene we went into the stores and f

My group and I have fully went through all of our scenes and realized we are missing some important pieces. Mostly because the shots were not matching and the story wasn't adding up. So we have to redo the whole shopping scene again. Other than that all the other shot seemed good so we are beginning the editing and choosing which shots work best for it. Currently all 3 of us are taking a section of the film and editing it to speed up the process. It's not completely done because we just went through them a shared our thoughts. Actually choosing what goes into the film depends on the person editing. But as of right now what we accomplished by going through all of them together was figuring out what needs to be filmed again or if we need filler just in case. I know that we just filmed the shopping scene but we were so nervous that none of the scenes came out how we wanted them to be. Some ended too quick and if we finished the scene we were not focused at all so it did not look r

 Basically we are done with filming. I know, I know, such an accomplishment. We went through what we said we did. Today we did all the fillers needed, however I think we did too much. We went to a cafe near our school, since we filmed right after school. Well, technically we went to two. The first one we tried to ask for permission but they said no so we went to a different one which had separate areas and was a family owned business so asking for permission was easier. The scene we filmed was a lot longer than what we did on our storyboard because we didn't want to interrupt too much. Yes, we got permission and everything, and bought food since that is their whole business, but there were other people and we were embarrassed because we kept messing up. We filmed the same shot like 3 times!! And it wasn't a different form like yesterday, like we legit couldn't go past the first three words we were supposed to say. And mid way through the food came which made it very awkward

You won't believe it... WE FILMED AGAIN.  We did plan on doing it next Mondya but we were all free today so we just decided to film. This time we went to my house to film the ending of our film but we still have more to do. So so far we have filmed the beginning and end but we need to film the shots at the store and coffee shop for fillers in our film. It also ties everthing together because it's when the audience begins to realize that the main character hasn't been doing the thing we have seen. That everything is in her head. But we couldn't do that today since I had to be home soon. Sooo we decided today would be perfect to film the realization the the actor has been in a psych ward this whole time. We decided to use my room because my room is white and grey with a twin bed. The stuff that make my room look less like a psych ward room is easy to move away so that the setting matches our idea. But we did need to get creative with how we filmed this scene because I hav

Once again we did not go with the plan...       Last blog I mentioned us filming on Saturday or Sunday but unfortunately that's not going to work. Saturday we are all busy, we all have plans so we left it for Sunday. However, on Sunday Harley worked 7-10:30, Omnia worked 4-9, and I worked 2-9. We knew before hand that we all worked but we thought that because Harley worked in the morning and us in the afternoon we would have have time between shifts to film at least the small scenes. BUT we did not think we would have about 3 hours. It would still be less though because Harley would pick up Omnia after work which would take ab 40 mins to get her and meet up. By the time we would meet up I would've had to leave in 30 minutes to make it on time to work. And we needed all three of us since two of us will be in the film and one of us would film. We also need one of our friends to join in some of the scenes. We will be doing that this week hopefully.      Enough with the excuses let

 Welcome backkkkk! It has been a while since our planning blog but my group has been very busy. As mentioned previously the last few blogs we were supposed to start filming a few weeks ago.... in our defense our schedules have not been aligning with each other. Starting a few weeks ago in all honesty we forgot, we had so much work from our other classes and after school activities that we never had time. However, last week we found out that today, February 19th, we had off from school which meant it would be perfect for us to film at least half of the movie. Since most of the scenes are in one of our houses. But everything went downhill since we decided. So today is Monday and yesterday it was POURING. The rain was so strong some of our houses got flooded. Especially our team member, Omnia, her place got completely flooded which prevented her to leave the house. Around that time she got sick and so did I. When the weather changes constantly it messes up with my noses causing me to get

 Soooo it's been a while...  My group has been a little backed up due to so many things happening all at once. If you remember our planning blogs included our desired schedule on how this film was going to go. According to that plan we should be finishing the last edits today.... we haven't started filming. I know this a very unprofessional moment but we just have so much going on with our jobs, school, even personal lives. We all have important things happening. Even if we are just teenagers we still have our own worries. For example, me, a senior, has to worry about colleges and getting everything set before graduation, however, I still want to have fun and have the senior experience. My other two team members are juniors, one of the most stressful years of high school, they are worrying about their grades for college and SAT testing which is taking place next week. Basically we have been very occupied with our lives but we spoke today and came up with a new plan. We are plan
