We are starting to finally work on filming. During spring break we will have time to continue with our final task. However, it is still hard for us to pick an actual date. We all have work or practice we need to go to. The busy lives that we all have gets in the way. On the bright side, we will still have some time to make changes to our storyboard if we need to. Also, we can brainstorm alternatives for our scenes. We established that we do not have a hospital to film at. Also, we may not have a lake. So we have to find another way to make Jules "hurt herself".  I still feel as though the editing process will be smooth. Idline is also helping me with editing. This also will make the editing process smoother. But some of the scenes & clips may be difficult to edit. Some clips may have to include a voiceover. With these delays of filming, we should be ready to go. After some time we will have everything in order. I still feel like the outcome will be great. Our teamwork wil...

We have not started filming yet for our final task. Our plan is to film during spring break. Finally, we have majority of our storyboard done. It took us a long time to complete. This is because we changed the original storyline. Also because we have other classes getting in the way. When our storyboard gets finished, we will definitely start to film. I am also thinking of the way I am going to edit the clips. I have to remember to not exceed the time limit. Thanks to Idline, she has helped me with some editing tips. She also has a Macbook with the same editing software, IMovie. This allows her to be able to see how I can edit it. The goal is to make this final task film as great as possible. The filming project that we did before has given me an idea of how we can film this time around. Same thing with the editing process. Since we have a lot of scenes, I am worried about the time limit. Last time I edited for the other project I had to cut down most of the scenes. I guess I will appl...

Filming for our final task has yet to be done. With that being said, only two of us are able to film. We need to be able to have at least 3 of us film. Our busy schedules have definitely gotten in the way of us filming for our final task. We are having problems on picking the day for everyone to show up. And it'll be too much for us to film in different locations. That is why we agreed on Pompano Park. This is convenient for all of us. On the bright side, Nishayla has found someone that can help in our filming process. They will play the character Jules. As established before, we could not film in a hospital. So, we switched the setting to the park. In one of the scenes, we had Jules do something else because of this change. Jules will be sitting at a park bench, instead of being somewhere inside of a hospital. Of course, we had to change the storyboard. Then we made some adjustments to the dialogue. The camera we will use to film is Ciaya's. Seeing as though we used this camer...

We have still yet to film for our final task. All of my group mates are still too busy to film. I have work, so the days are postponed. I am currently looking at my work schedule, to see when I am available. We will come up with a date. And we will come up with it by the end of this week. Our location is the same though. It has the areas we need to film. The playground is perfect for us to film at. One actor in the film will be Nishayla. Another actor in the film will probably be Ciaya. Also, we have yet to find a location for the hospital. We are still figuring that out at the moment. We also still could not find anyone else that could play the other roles. Looking around for more actors is hard. Mainly because of COVID, that will be almost impossible. However, for the editing part, I will use IMovie. IMovie has the softwares to make editing this opening easy. We can make it exactly how we envision our movie opening to be. All in all, we are one step closer to finishing our final task...

Although we have not started filming for our final task, we know our filming location. The park we originally chose to go to did not have the proper setting for our scenes. We were to film in a hospital setting, but we do not have access for a place like that. Therefore, we found another park in another city (Pompano Park) which is best suitable for our film. Our filming dates vary for right now. Individually, we all have something else going on in our busy life. For our storyboard, we had some trouble at first for what we wanted to do. We then eventually came up with a solid storyline. All of the drawings were done by Idline in the group. So far, we are not finished drawing the rest of scenes. The plan is to split up who draws the scenes we can get done faster. We also composed all of the scenes together so it could make sense. The description of the scenes are also all under our storyboard boxes. The editing process for our task has also not started yet. We are in the process of tryi...
