Back from vacation

Image
 Today was the day I left Key west. I was there for four days. I had a lot of fun with my friends and was able to explore the island. My friend owns a house there so he knows his way around and directed us to some places. We rode bikes around the island and saw the sunset. We made Arepas for breakfast and had some great food. The days felt short but a lot of fun was had. I couldn't have asked for a better experience there. I'm indebted to my friend who invited me and looking forward to going next year if possible. It was only four days but we were able to do a lot. We made most of the time we had and got closer in that time. Today I got back from the trip. It was a long 4 hour car ride and I'm pretty tired. Sean said he works Friday an Saturday so Sunday or Monday would be optimal for both of us. We'll see how we are able to do when the time comes. Time is running out but we still can make it out. Sean and I will communicate and see what time works for both of us. Brian

Vacation

 The time for my vacation is here. Spring break is in full swing and its time for my trip. My friend invited me to his house in Key west Florida. I'm down here for a couple days an will be coming back sometime later in the week. After my trip is done ill communicate with Sean on which days he'll be free. We should be able to set it up from there. While I'm here though its essentially impossible to film due to the distance. While I'm here Sean should be able to finish the non-acting shots to get ahead. I've talked to him and it seems he's working during the week so we'll have to work around that. Brianna is still completely unable to film as she's working the entire week. I cant really do too much while I'm here. In the meantime ill reflect on what is needed to be done when I get back. ill see what is needed and communicate with Sean on the plan. As of now it seems that we are changing the script to make someone else the main actor. Time is still runn

Getting ready to film

 During the process of our project we have come to find out that Brianna will not be able to film the entire spring break. This is a big hiccup in our plans as she is set to be the main actor. This means we have to switch gears and fast. Spring break is here and time is running thin. With Brianna unable to film the entire week it is up to Sean and I to figure out what we will do. Sean and I are thinking of solutions to the problem and only one makes sense at the stage we are at right now. We have to change the script. With Brianna out we either have to change the actor who plays the lead role or change the script to fit what actors we have available. So we'll likely have to change the script to make me the main character of the film. Some of the shots Sean will be able to get by himself so its up to us to find time to film together during the week. The time is crunching down. Time for us to figure out our next move. Sean and I need to communicate. The communication is key to our pr

Spring break

 Time is still closing in on filming. Our time to crunch is still coming. This past weekend we were still unable to film anything as Sean and Brianna had to work. I also had practice and was busy Sunday as well. The upcoming weeks are going to be tough. Spring break is next week so we may be able to get some of the filming done. The only problem is I'm going to be gone for half the week. I'm going to Key west with some of my friends and staying at one of their houses. This makes it really hard for us to film as I'm one of the main actors in the film. While I'm not able to make it Sean should be able to get the shots that don't require my attendance. Any of the shots of the desolate landscape or lack of people can be done without my participation. I hope during spring break most of the non-acting parts are done whether I'm able to be there or not. With the coming of deadlines hastily approaching, the need for us to finally make progress is needed. The scheduling

Race against time

 As the time comes to start our filming things seem to not be going our way. For the time being Filming has been put on hold. Each of our members has things that is keeping them from being able to film. For this weekend we where going to film but things came up. Sean and Brianna have work and are unable to get out of it. Brianna works all day and as she just started at her new job its hard for her to get time off. The start of her new job means she has to train and get used to her position. She also has to make sure that she's serious about her job. This means she doesn't want to miss much so she looks professional. Sean has two jobs one of which is only on weekends. This means that its hard for him to miss as well as he is only scheduled for weekends. This makes it hard for us to schedule filming because he works those days. For me I have Baseball 6 days a week including Saturdays. This makes it even harder to schedule because all three of the group members has things that mak

Changes and delays

 The time for us to start our final project is approaching. As my group encroaches on the time to film things have come up. It seems that the weekend of our filming may be postponed due to my group members schedule changes. Sean is not going to be in town for the weekend which makes it nearly impossible to film. Sean is the one with the camera and would be the only one able to film for us. Another issue we are facing is specific scenes we are to shoot. Changes are being thought of as we go. The original script will need changes to better fit the vision we had for our film. Sean is to make scenes that will encompass the apocalyptic and deserted mood of the film. For this a more baron setting is needed and we will need to find something to fit this description. The change in setting means we will have to film more and make sure that the schedule aligns for us to film on multiple days. The issue with this is each of us has extra curricular activities that make our schedules particularly h
