 It is now the day after spring break. We didn't discuss any plans with each other during the time. We are still left on the same page which is what day to begin filming. There isn't much to say as of right now on when that will be because we haven't talked yet.  I managed to find two more people to play characters but it hasn't been confirmed that they will be able to do it. Since we don't have a day, they won't know if they are free to do it so they chose not to make any promises. I agree with this decision and hope they would be able to make it when we film. I took a look at our storyboard to see if there is anything that could be changed to make the opening sequence better. For slides 47-53, Kim looks into a pond at her own reflection. Instead of changing the part, I came up with an alternative. So if we don't have a pond, Faith can catch kim looking at her reflection in a bathroom mirror. Ciaya hasn't found another camera to film with so we will be ...

 So far, our project has been on pause since we have yet to film and edit. The group has discussed what is needed to be done. We plan to film this weekend or some time during spring break. It is still hard to determine an exact day due to our busy schedules. Idline has work on Sunday and Wednesday, Rohanna hasn't received her schedule yet but is most likely to work 4 days in the week, I have practice and appointments to attend throughout the week, and Ciaya may have practice. In the meantime, I decided to take a look at our storyboard to see if there are any changes that could be made to make the opening sequence better. One of the scenes involves Kim jumping into a lake as an attempt to commit suicide so she doesn't have to watch Jules die or be alone when she dies. The location we plan to film at may not have a lake and as an alternative we will use a bridge or maybe a weapon to make it look like she is trying to hurt herself. It is good to come up with these alternatives whi...

Since the last blog was posted, we have made no changes to anything related to this project. The reason for this is because we did not communicate with each other this week. All of us were focusing on school, jobs, etc. We could not find the time to thoroughly discuss anything such as dates to film, changes to the storyboard, or any new locations. So far we still have no date to film, we have our location, and we fixed our storyboard. With that being said, we plan to discuss this weekend when we have more free time. Hopefully, we can complete filming by next week so we can begin the editing process. In the last blog I said I found someone to act in our film. Jules was decided to be played by a friend of mine. She is currently available to film whenever she wants, which is reassuring. We won't have to stress over whether or not she'll be able to make it on set. She also drives, so if any of us need transportation, she will be able to provide it.That person is still available to ...

 It has been a few days now and filming dates still have yet to be chosen. So far only two out of four of us is available to film on the weekend and we need at least 3 of us to film. It looks like we will be missing another weekend to film due to our busy schedules. On the bright side, we found an actor to use in our film. A friend of mines agreed to play the role of Jules. She is available to film whenever as of right now which is relieving. We won't have to worry about whether or not she can make it on a filming day. She also drives so if any of us need a ride she will be able to us. As for the hospital setting situation, we decided to switch the setting to a park. Instead of Jules being in a bed under a blanket, she will be sitting at a park bench. She wouldn't be able to run around as much as she used to, so we agreed to have her sitting at the bench for most scenes. Also, we are already having problems with getting everyone to show up on a day to film. It would be an even ...

Our team has yet to agree on a date to film therefore we postponed the days we plan to film. SInce we all have school going on and our lives to attend to after, it is hard to choose a day. One of us may have work on the day the rest of us are available to film. To solve this issue, we decided that the whole group doesn't need to be at the location to film. In other words, if 1 or 2 of us are not available to film on a day we will film without them. We are now waiting on our group members to see what their work schedules will look like before we determine a day. Also, our filming day would've had to been postponed due to poor weather. As for location, we have a park set to film at but since we haven't picked a filming day, we decided to use the time to find a better location. We found a park that has a playground, a field, and other areas need to film. The park also is free for everyone to go to which is a plus. We also need to find an alternative for the hospital scenes. We...

 As of right now, filming and editing has not begun. For starters, we are struggling to agree on dates for when we film due to our busy schedules. Originally we were supposed to start filming earlier, but some of us were not free to work that day. We discussed filming this weekend but everyone in the group hasn't confirmed that they will be able to show up yet. Also, we may have to change the date to another day, due to poor weather this weekend. This issue will be fixed immediately. Next, we are having an issue on finding the perfect locations to film. We found the perfect park to film some our shots at, however we later found out they are temporarily closed. We then found another park, but they didn't have some of the things we needed to film such as a playground and we don't want to have to film at multiple parks. Filming at multiple parks means having to add extra filming days. We are already having issues with picking one date. We are still searching for a better locat...
