Attached is our finished product, our opening sequence to "I'm Sorry"! We are extremely proud of this collaborative project. I've improved my production abilities in a number of ways throughout this process. I had no prior knowledge of film or the media at first. However with this being my third project, I've learned so much that not only am I familiar, but I feel as though filming and making a production/project is natural. Our team encountered many conflicts throughout the process. But whatever issue that came at us, we were able to resolve it, and for that I am grateful. My team and I worked collaboratively, especially during these last couple of days. We had to brainstorm and think of alternative plans due to the amount of unprecedented events, like the school lockdown and the horrible weather. We even had to throw out and make a whole new scene since the weather prevented us from staying after school to shoot the phone call between me and Santana. Instead, I ...

 So, a bit of updates since I've last been here. It's been a rough week for our group, especially for me. Our plan was to get all of our recording done Wednesday, but luck wasn't exactly on our side. On Tuesday, I got sick at school and had to go home early. Good thing I did, because shortly after I came down with a fever and felt horrible. So naturally, I could not go to school Wednesday, the day we were supposed to record. So, it was up to the rest of my group to record the scenes of the interaction between Lauren and Detective Santana. But, they ran into some complications on their end. It was pouring at school and the scenes that needed to be filmed are outdoors, so they had to cancel. The plan was to stay after school and try again today. However, due to the extreme flooding from all the rain, school was closed for the day and tomorrow. So we had a predicament, but nothing that we couldn't fix. Franchesca drove over to Andres' house with Lauren and they finishe...

 Following up filming last week, I got the chance to review the editing Andres did to the clips I helped film. After we filmed all the clips from the office last week, I sent them all to our group chat on messages and we reviewed each clip one by one. We filmed each scene clip multiple times, some with different angles, different dialogue, etc. We favorited the ones we liked the most and discarded the rest to be organized. Andres then used the clips we favorited on my phone to begin editing them. He put the clips together along with some suspenseful, non-diegetic music, to the background. When he sent it back, I made a comment that the music was too overpowering, and that the dialogue could not be heard over the music. At this, he lowered the volume of the music so that the dialogue could be heard, and came out with thirty seconds of the scene we all approved. The clips were put together and all the transitions came out smooth, a result we all enjoyed. Then we put this scene togeth...

Instead of filming in the court room yesterday, we had a change in plans. We actually ended up filming the interrogation scenes between Santana and Joel in the work office of Lauren's Mom. I liked it personally because the lighting and the setting made it really look like a private interrogation room. The lights were ominous and it was tight office, perfect for the mood we were trying to set. We did not get a chance to film the scenes between my character Maria and Santana due to the lack of time. There was also a complication with Joel's actor, Joey. There was some issue with the timing that conflicted with Joey, so we had to find a replacement. At first, Franchesca had the idea of putting herself in the role and changing the character of Joel to a girl. However, she did not make it to the day we were going to film the scenes. Hence, we replaced him with Oscar, a senior that also goes to our school. I personally do not know Oscar that well, but I know he has a closer friendshi...

 So, we had to reschedule things once again. Originally, I had understood that we were going to use the court room to film the remainder of the scenes we had left. We were set to do this second period today, since all of us have core classes fourth period, and second and fourth period were the only times we could use the room. However, we ran into some trouble. Franchesca had a chemistry test to study for during second period, which is the junior study hall time. Luckily, we had a flexible plan and we rescheduled our meet to Wednesday. Having an adaptable plan is crucial because it allows us to be flexible during unexpected circumstances, such as moments like these. Film production is usually a collaborative process and changes are bound to occur. In my group, we have endured these changes several times, but we adapt. For right now, there is also the pending problem of Joey, who is supposed to play Jospeh. He might not be one hundred percent available to play the part of Joseph on ...
