 Filming

    Today, we were able to start filming. This time, me and Sophia were unavailable so Amparo filmed Brianas shots of just her. I have learned through this project that it is actually quite challenging being in a bigger group for physical filming projects like this. For most of my projects throughout the year given by my teacher, a bigger group has been nice as we can get on group calls and brainstorm together. I have always seen it as the more people, the more ideas- and the more ideas the better. (In most cases) Being in bigger groups has always challenged and widened my own creativity. As for this project, I noticed a bigger group is hard to all be available at the same time. This is very important when we need to film, we have a schedule to follow and if even one of us is unavailable it throws off the rest of us.

    In some ways it is good to have a group but in other ways we are too dependent on each other and this can contradict the filming process. Anyways, I will insert some clips that we were able to complete today as we have to film the scenes out of order because of each others availability schedules. Everything is coming together nicely and I feel we are handling everything the best we can.

    In this clip, our main character is getting ready to go out with the girls, Vicky and Sophia. She is looking at herself in the mirror, self reflecting the choices she making from her hair being up or down, to which pants to wear. She is looking at herself, doubting her outfit choice as she may not feel it is "cool" enough. The camera pans to the bed of the main character which has a different outfit ready for her.

        In this clip, the main character is having dialogue with her dad before she leaves, they both joke about her getting into trouble. this suggests she is a good kid and has never gone against her parents or broken their trust before, seeing as her dad is only joking and clearly trusts her a lot. Yet, this also foreshadows her late getting in trouble due to the sarcasm and strategic dialogue we chose.
