 Today after school my teammates filmed the title sequence. This part is with the knives and the blood. This scene reveals that the main character is a killer. Sadly I’m not in town so I couldn’t help with this. I was on FaceTime for most of it. After school they drove to Parker’s house where the fake blood was. We were going to Film it at my place. Since the blood was at her house and I wasn’t home we decided it would be better at her house. This way the scenery won’t look the same when we film the news scene at my House.  They tried to find the least messiest way to splatter the blood. They were afraid the blood would stain the floor. It didn’t luckily. They also put some on the knife. To make it look like there was an body there we searched up crime scenes and tried to make it look similar. Violet filmed while parker acted. Siena had me on the phone and we looked at the storyboard. Although I wasn’t there I felt very involved.  I think my group mates did a good job.  

 We wanted to make sure everything we filmed was alright. For editing we are using the app iMovie. Me and my group mates have all used this app before so we know how it works. We had originally filmed 25 videos. Majority was not usable because the wind was too loud, someone walked by, or the angle wasn't right. Since there were so many videos, we had to sit through and look at all of them. This was to distinguish which ones we had to delete. There ended up only being three videos. Since the scene was short this was ok because there wasn't much to film The videos where 13 seconds long, 9 seconds, and 9 seconds. We cut each video to the point where it started. We made sure to cut the ending as well so we didn't get the parts were parker and I looked at the camera. After we cut the videos we added them to iMovie. iMovie has the options to choose which transition you use. for example they have a sliding one that goes up and down, a smooth one and a theme one. We don't want

 Today parker, siena and i met up to film. Obviously you can tell from the title that it's not just filming new scenes. We had to re-film the first ones. Why you may ask? well, since violet will be gone for all of spring break, it wouldn't be very wise of us to keep her as an actress considering we cant film with her. Since we already filmed the city scene with her, we had to re film. We had parker replace her since siena will also be away for most of spring break. Instead of starting in the main part of the city like we did last time, we went to a calmer place. you could still see many buildings in the background so it still looked like a city. The scenes that were filmed were all walking. Parker played Naomi, the main character. And i played Skylar. Siena would switch the scenes from tracking shot and a forward shot. The forward shot was easy to film but the tracking was a little more difficult. At first siena tried filming the side parker was on but there were too much stuff

So far, my group has only had one day of filming. This isn't the best because we have a lot more to film and not enough time. My group and I planned to hang out last weekend and film. We were panning to do Saturday. Friday came a long and we didn't have much communication but it was known that violet and parker would come to my house because siena wasn't able too. On Saturday morning parker asked if we were still doing it and at what time but violet wasn't answering so i said we can always do it another day. when it was 12 i had figured we weren't doing it because violet still hasn't answered and she lives pretty far. So based off this assumption i had made new plans to go with my sister to see my grandparents in Miami. at like 12:30 violet answered asking if we were still doing it and i said we couldn't because i wont be home until later and i have a party at 6. We also couldn't do it Sunday because All of them had a soccer game quite far. I felt pretty

 Our movie includes a few props that we don't have. The first few scenes are the title sequences however it still shows important things. For example, there is supposed to be blood on the floor, on her shirt, and on the knife. This scenes is supposed to show that the main character just committed murder. This is in order to create the plot for the rest of the movie. None of my team members had fake blood. Because of this dilemma, we had to go look around. First we went to target but they didn't have. Before we left target i realized since the blood will be on the actors clothes we should probably buy some cheap ones. we saw a plain shirt and some pants and bought them. After we left target we decided to try a costume store. It was hard finding one since they usually don't reopen until halloween. After looking for a while we found one not too far. I didn't know how much we would need so just in case we figured it would be smarter to get two bottles. We were all tired for

      Not much was done so far with filming. Me and my team members all met over the weekend to film. Since the setting is in a city, My house is the closest to buildings and basically right in the middle of the city. We wanted to film the parts where the two girls are sitting at a table and then start walking. The weather was a bit windy so it was hard to hear the conversation the actors were supposed to have. The actors had to speak a lot louder than they would have preferred but it was the only way they would've been heard through the wind. There were also a lot of people walking on the sidewalk. since it was filmed in a busy city and its college spring break, there were more people than anticipated. The camera crew had to be careful while walking backwards for certain scenes. If the place we wanted to film got to busy we would have to move locations. This kind of upset us. Since we had to move to a less busy street with less buildings it didn't look much like our storyboard
