 We ended up filming before we decided so that if things don't work out this time we can still film that Friday. so basically after school on Wednesday we went to dairy queen with Dream and Paulanka. we filmed the meet up scene. We broke up the scene into 3 different clips one showed  the girls meeting up for the second time. we had to film that slip at  least 3 times because dream kept laughing and we couldn't get the words to sound right. We also weren't able to pull up the script so that made the filming that much more difficult. after that introduction scene we had to film the part where dream drops her notebook that contains stalker photos of Paulanka. We decided to show dream walking up to follow paulanka using a tracking shot and then cut the clip. And then recorded a clip of dream "accidentally" dropping the journal using a Dutch   shot. We plan on slowing down that clip when we edit. that way we can really emphasize the dropping of the journal. After th...

The other day Macaria and I were planning on when to have our next film day. We both had busy schedules so most weekends were unavailable. We had planned to film the Tuesday of spring break. But last minute I found out I was going to Jamaica for the entire break. So once again we had to reschedule. We ended up having no more available weekends. Me and mac ended up scouring the school calendar for available weekdays where we had half days or no school days. It was especially difficult to plan when we had to also incorporate the schedules of the actors. Dream and Paulanka also had busy schedules. We ultimately decided to meet up on the Monday after spring break to film. I hope things work out especially since we have a lot more material to film in order for our movie to be successful. We want to film in the morning from 11am to 8pm so well see how it goes.

 A couple days ago me and mac Facetimed to discuss the music we were going to use for our movie. I had been sick that entire week and hadn't been at school we hadn't talked in person for almost a week.  It was a Wednesday afternoon and we had looked up royalty free music on YouTube and found ones that fit the creepy vibe. We ended up finding one that we liked on YouTube and then discussed where we would introduce the song in the movie. Me and Mac really liked a certain section of the music that was really good for the climax but we ended up deciding against it because that's the only part of the song that really stood out. 30 more minutes into searching and we found another sound that fit our vibe better for another section. Ultimately we decided to mix and edit both royalty free sounds so that we could combine them together and use them for our music video. Now I'm back in school feeling better so I can work even harder on my blogs.

 While we were filming we ended up encountering a problem. After we had filmed the meeting scene, Macaria and I realized we wouldn't have enough time to do the restaurant meet up scene we intended to film on that day. I think we had spent too much time focused on the schematics of the different scenes and how they would work out and ended up wasting precious time. One of our least vital scenes ended up taking the longest time to film because we couldn't properly figure out how to execute it while still keeping it align with the storyboard. We decided to plan another filming day to figure out the rest of our movie. We planned to film on April fools. our plan is to go to dairy queen right after school and film the second meet up scene. from there Mac's stepdad Dominic would pick us up and take us back to her house. there we would film the bedroom scenes and the flashback scenes. Its really nerve wrecking planning all this because this is probably the 4th time we've resche...

   I started filming on March 4th, 2022. I filmed at the hagen park location and we were able to complete many scenes. We filmed the scene where the characters "first met", a montage of the characters as they were best friends, and back up clips just incase something didn't fit in well while editing. We were able to incorporate many different camera angles. We incorporated an over the shoulder, low, eye level, and medium shot camera angles. We followed the guide of the storyboard which made the filming process much easier. It went very smoothly and we made sure to film the same scene from multiple different camera angles to experiment which angle would fit best for the scene. We still have to film the scene where the characters had their second coincidental interaction with each other at the dairy queen, when they're reminiscing, and when dream walks into her room incorporating the horror element. We will incorporate different camera angles and sound in the access fil...
