  I had a good spring break. It was relaxing and restful. Most of all, I was able to catch up on most of my filming during this break. I had about a week off from school. This gave me enough time to film on days where it is sunny outside. It also allowed me to film earlier since the school wasn't here. I had already informed my actors we were going to film during the break. This made them know and help pick what days they wanted to film. They each agreed to do it during the week instead of the weekends. We each had something else to do during the weekends. I wanted to film all the park scenes in one day. My actors all agreed to this. I explained and showed that the scenes aren't hard, just tedious to get all the angles I wanted. However, this is where they would be doing the most work. They also won't be talking that much as the script barely has any lines. It's more of an establishing thing that slow and steady to keep the suspense. We filmed each scene multiple times.

   I was supposed to film this week, but I didn't. The rest of the actors and I were too busy. This week was the week our grade book closed for the first half of the second semester. I realized that I had so much work to catch up with. I also had so much work to turn in. I needed to make sure I had enough time to do them. I decided I needed to cancel filming for the rest of the week to get it done. I always knew I could reschedule filming as I still had a lot of time to finish the project. This gave me enough time to finish the work that had to be done for my other classes. It also gave me some much-needed time to relax.    I had already scheduled an event with someone during the week that I didn't want to cancel. This even was to watch a long-awaited movie. It was Zack  Snyder's  Justice League. I had long awaited to see this movie. It also helped me gain new insights into having better camera angles and movements. Once I was almost done with my work, I had enough time to

  Throughout the rest of the week, I continued filming. Since I finished the filming done inside, I move on to do the ones outside. These were the scenes that weren't in the park. This included majority of the middle of the storyboard. It also included the end of the storyboard. These scenes were quite simple. It was simpler to do because there weren't as many camera movements as there were inside the house. It was fun filming the pan shots as the actor had to move in the directions I had to turn to. The running scenes were too hard to film as I didn't have a steady camera. All my filming was done handheld. This means the camera was shaking as I was moving with them at a fast pace. I quickly changed the running scenes into truly jogging ones. It was easy to film these scenes location-wise as they were all close to each other. We took multiple shots of each scene to make sure we can pick the best version. I went home to review the footage quickly as we did before for the sce

                            Since the beginning of the week, I began officially filming for the finals task. This is something I was excited to do. I feel like my storyboard is intriguing and straightforward. It engaged me to do so many different camera angles and movements where it was fun to film so many different scenes. I didn't want to call out all the actors for filming again over the week so fast. This leads me to film mostly the solo scenes. This was mostly at the start of the storyboard. I only did the ones inside the house. I didn't do the ones outside of it and around it yet. This is due to me editing scenes as soon as I film them.  Making an opening sequence isn't a quick process. I didn't want to keep going back reshooting scenes when I finally wrapped up all my filming for the whole storyboard and decide to edit at the end. I needed to make sure it came out clean and the way I wanted. I can just quickly reshoot on that same day. For the process of this, I

                              Me and my actors kept true to our word to start practice filming on Saturday. I knew we couldn't film all the angles and scenes that day. We also knew it's not possible to film and observe everything in one day. So we only wanted to see if the angles and positions would work on important scenes. Also, scenes we were skeptical about. This led us to practice filming on all the scenes that required more than one actor first. We will then leave the solo scenes for Sunday. This was mainly the second half of the story as that's when most of the actors play their roles. When we were filming, we realize the park really is the best place to film my opening sequence. It's a nice open environment where the lighting is natural where sunlight can be direct or not.   We also realized that there are better trees and paths to film particular scenes. I would be noting these to see if I would want to make any changes to the story. However, everything will re

                                                                 I wasn't able to film today. I just finished coming up with everything for this final task. I also had to obtain the things I need. It's been a busy week with school and all the work that comes with it. This made me very tired. I needed to relax so I can be at my best potential when filming. This made me not able to start my practice filming today. The actors also felt the same. It wasn't the best time for them to film. It's a complicated process as there are many scenes involved. There are also many camera angles involved too. We needed a day that would work for all of us. This means that we had to pick a day where we were completely free in the afternoon. This eliminated the days for this weekday. My actors and I wanted to pick one on the weekend. It also had to have good weather that day where it wasn't windy and too hot. This made us decide on Saturday to be the day to start filming. By picking a r
