My group was supposed to have the majority of filming completed by this date. However, we keep having to reschedule. This is due to a multitude of reasons. Initially, we just all had plans that conflicted with the times. I had a family dinner on one of the days, and the rest of my group members also had things to do. More recently, I suggested we film during the week because everyone seems to be busy on the weekends. However, this ended up not working out either. Dara and I both play on our school's soccer team, and practices are after school during the week. Our team has gotten very far this season. This means that the season's games have extended into the spring, which is longer than I anticipated. We continued having practice because of this. This meant that filming after school during the week was impossible, so we had to push back filming even further. Unfortunately, or fortunately from a filming perspective, the girls soccer team lost in the regional semifinal game. While...

We watched a video about making short films. They say that when writing, we need to keep in mind what we can pull off. We shouldn't write in things that we cannot create for our film. In other words, anything too expensive we should not use in the film. They also say that the theme should guide the story. Whatever we want out of the story should be kept in mind while writing. They also say that with stories where we want the audience to be surprised, go against our first idea. This way the obvious idea will not be given and they will be legitimately surprised by things. They emphasize that casting the right people is very important. They need to be able to look the part. They need to fit the character too. This will not be a problem for my group.
