Production...in progress!

 Coming from spring break, I am very excited to see the progress we have made in this production. After the lockdown that occurred in school that I mentioned in my previous blog, our timelines had be edited and thus we reschedule filming. We all agreed that  we were going to begin filming the weekend of spring break. Unfortunately, there were some conflicts. The plan was to meet at Andres' house in Tamarac to film the scenes of our detective Santana getting ready to begin his day and discovering Ellie Duckwin's missing poster. However, with Lauren out of town, that was one less person that could help with filming. Also, I unfortunately had plans already scheduled in advance for that weekend so I could not make it either. I had dance practice from 10-2, then a performance during the evening. Plus, with Andres living about fifty minutes from my house, it would have been logistically impossible for me to be everywhere at once. I had to prioritize what I had already committed to p...

Production...Or lack of

Welcome to our production journey! Unfortunately, not much was produced or filmed today. Not everyone from our group came to school, so there was not much we could do. Andres was not here during first period, which left me curious. He also did not show up to our second period AICE Media class, and that is when I found out he was actually out sick. Lauren, on the other hand, was out in Orlando on a debate trip. She had qualified for the Florida State debate competition, but they do not come back from Orlando until tomorrow. So, I was the only one from our group in second period. I am still getting to know Franchesca, but since she is in a different class period, I have not had much time to collaborate with her. As far as I know, she was in school that day. But, I don't have any classes with her so I did not get the chance to talk to her about filming. We did talk about planning in the group chat. We went over the script we drafted up, and things we could do to really get in characte...

Some Things Never Change

Although it has only been a day, some things never change. I finally got home after a long day of competing. From my last blog, I gave an update that I was competing at the national qualifier tournament. I ended up breaking to finals! It was a very thrilling moment as I worked very hard to be where I was. At the awards ceremony, I was sitting very anxiously as they announced the results, and ultimately the top three qualifiers for nationals. Although I did not make top 3, I did achieve fifth place. Achieving fifth means that I am instead the second alternate. So, if two people from the top three were to not make it to nationals, their spot would be replaced with me. Alternatively, if one person from the top three cannot make it, and the first alternate cannot either, then I could take over. I was slightly disappointed that I did not qualify, I am not going to lie. However, this was my first year competing in Original Oratory, so I am grateful for all of the success I have had leading u...
