Yesterday was the first day we filmed our project. Alex and one of my friends named Michael recorded the scenes. When they first arrived at my house we talked for about an hour about what device we should use to record. We decided to go ahead and use the IPhone8, which happens to be my phone. The first clip of the opening scene that we recorded was the main character getting up and getting dressed, etc ready for school. We filmed the main character getting dressed, brushing his teeth, eating breakfast, and getting into his car. Remember our film utilizes the same routine twice, so the first day is conveyed as everything is normal. It was kind of tricky getting the camera man out of some of the shots.

We have yet to edit the clips because we would like to get all the footage possible that we can before we begin editing. Instead of waiting until April 2nd, to film our main character at school I think that we can go ahead and change that idea. I haven't consulted my group about this idea yet, because I am writing this a day after Alex and I met up. But if we go ahead and agree on it will allow us more leniency on where to film. As long as our main character repeats the same actions both days it will work the same way.  There will be more time for us to film this as well, since we could just go ahead and utilize the time we have effectively.

We have decided to include the date before each day in green letters and a black background screen. The first day will be June 6th, and this will be written on the screen in dark green. We want to add an element to the plot which is to make it our main characters birthday. Right now things are a bit confusing because we only have two minutes maximum for our opening scene, once we film all of the footage necessary hopefully it will become less challenging. We are struggling with whether or not we can include two days or one day only. Our next meeting will be on Tuesday with Alex and I, we plan on calling Justin that day to consult him on what's running through our minds. We will also update Justin with our current progress on the film. We are still open to making changes to the plot, and will edit and adjust our film based on timing.
