 Today I realized that some of the footage from when I had filmed wasn't the best. Because of this I decided to refilm. On one shot were I'm running I was running a little bit slow. So that it was more of an awkward jog than actually running. However, before I went out and reshot something I wanted my group's opinion on it. They both agreed with my decision and wished me luck. Since this was spontaneous and not planned, I did not ask Tasmia or Kennedy to reshoot with me today. Instead, I asked my brother for help. At the park it took a couple takes as my brother's hand was blocking part of the camera to get a shot of me running that I was satisfied with. After this I wanted to refilm the very last shot of my close up. This was due to the fact that the camera was a little shaky in the original that my group and I were going to use. I ruined a few takes because I couldn't keep a straight face for long enough. Eventually though I got a shot that I was happy with. I tha...

 Today I filmed my parts for the final. I met Tasmia at the park in order to do this. The first thing I did was check the storyboard to see everything that needed to be filmed that day. While Tasmia and I were looking over the storyboard we agreed to film her scenes as well. I alternated between being the one filming and the one being filmed. The first thing that was filmed was the running scenes. I first filmed Tasmia running on the playground and then moved to a more wooded area to be filmed running. When filming Tasmia running, I ruined a few takes because my hand would sometimes cover the camera. I than filmed the part where I find my object. After this I helped Tasmia find a place to put the paper (her object) on the playground so that it would not blow away. While also making it look like she found it randomly. I suggested to put it behind the rock wall. However, since it was very windy the paper would probably blow away. I finally suggested she put it in one of the holes in ...

 Today, my group and I had to go over when all the filming for the intro was going to be. This is because everything had only been like 75% set in stone/made official. This was mainly due to making sure everyone could go to the park on Monday. This was when all the filming was originally supposed to be done. The plan was to film everything that day to make it easier as all my groupmates (including me) have very busy schedules. However, this had to be changed as one of my groupmates could not make it that particular day.  I did not think I could make it the day that was proposed as the new day of filming as I was very busy every other day other than this upcoming Monday for a while. I did still ask my parents. Unfortunately, I cannot make the day Kennedy is available to film. Which is 3/26. This led to a conversation over when my group and I could film. For a while, my group and I tried to find a date that everyone was available for filming. However, this was ultimately a dead ...

 Today did not go as I had planned it would. My group and I had planned to film/start filming today at a local park. However, there were a few obstacles that got in the way of that. One was miscommunication. We had some trouble with the time that my group and I were supposed to get to the park. This resulted in some time lost. However, it did not really matter as my group, and I did not end up filming today. Not only was communication (or a lack of) a problem but the weather was also not the best. The beginning of the day was nice and sunny. However, towards the afternoon/time I was going to film with my group it started to get cloudy. This would not have been a big problem except that it also started to get cold and windy. On top of this, it started to rain. Since the rain was heavy, I lost contact with one of my groupmates as she had lost power.  Because of these problems my group and I decided that filming today was not a good choice. I suggested a new date to film, and it ...

 Today I decided to get the necessary props for my parts in the intro organized .  The first thing that I tried to do was to get the clothes/costume that I was going to be wearing. Since I wanted to make sure that the costume, I was putting together was appropriate I asked my teammates to help. The costume needed to be street clothes and nothing fancy. This meant that I did not have to buy anything. I decided to wear jeans. I also decided to wear a T-shirt that was solid in color with no design. This was to make sure the audience would not be distracted by something on the shirt that may catch their eye. I also decided to wear a jacket to add to help add to the mysterious feeling of the intro. However, I decided to not zip it up as I would be running and would probably get hot. The next thing I had to do was find an object that would be suitable to use in the intro. I decided to use something round. However, I didn't know what specifically to use. At first, I was going to use ...

 Today my group and I really only talked about the music we were going to be using for the film. For a while my group and I debated what genre of song to use. The only thing that was really agreed on was that the song was supposed to be mysterious and not really cheery or happy. I suggested a K-pop song. However, since it would be in a different language, and my group and I don't really know if you are allowed to use a song not in English that idea was discarded. Tasmia finally suggested using a song without lyrics which seemed much more fitting. My group and I were also considering using music that was not royalty free. However, after much discussion it was discovered that royalty free music was the best option for my group and me. This was mainly due to the fact that the music that my group and I had agreed on had not been approved for our use. This was because the email address had not been typed in correctly. I only realized this today. Although we may be able to get a response...

  Scene 1: Starting off the opening sequence with a black screen that will have background noise of someone huffing due to running, leaving the audience curious. Scene 2: The scene cuts to a low shot of our first character running in what appears to be the woods. To amplify this scene, sounds of crunching leaves will be added for a more dramatic effect.  Scene 3: Another scene cuts in to show the lower half of the second person who is also running where it seems to be a playground/park.  Scene 4: The screen fades to black again for the words “Pink Studio Presents…” which will fade in as well and stay there for a few seconds before fading out. Scene 5: The words “TMK Corp.” fade in after the previous scene, replacing the words.  Scene 6: Then the screen fades out and blurs in on an over-the-shoulder shot of a person in a library who is starting to approach a glowing object. The character exhales a “woah…” in fascination and wonder.  Scene 7: Cuts to a close-up on...
