 So as of today we have finished filming. Well we finished filming on Monday the previous week during spring break. Alec and I meet up at Marius place to film around 12:30. Once we all got there we went right away to filming. We were able to film the first part of the intro. Once we had that finished we had to wait a little bit because Marius parents were finishing up some work. Once they were done with their work they left we were able to film the rest of our project. The inside shots were very hard to film. One reason was that it was just too funny and we would all burst out laughing. A second reason was that we would forget our lines. While we were filming some scenes Alec and I would just look at each other and start laughing. For a certain scene I had to close my eyes to not laugh. This was because the way Alec would walk up the stairs would look so funny to me. He would mess up a line then we all just started laughing. It’s safe to say we had a fun time. This was my favorite ...

 While I was tasked with thinking about and creating the costumes. In all honesty i am probably just going to make the people were normal clothes. This is because these are teenagers so they wouldn't wear anything old.  Marius and Alec would work together on getting some supplies we needed. Fake blood, and a fake knife. This is why we were not able to film but we are planning on doing that very soon. With the weekend coming up we will be able to buy the supplies we need. This will also give us time to work on getting a better time down. Once we do this we are going to film. With Marius has been having water polo practice everyday after school. He is unable to do much towards the project because the practice ends at 6:00. I have been pre-occupied with volleyball after school. I have practice everyday and this week I have games Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. With those days I don’t have games I have practice. This causes Marius and I to both be unable to work towards our final p...

 For this week we have all been pre occupied with our personal business. With Marius has been having water polo practice everyday after school. He is unable to do much towards the project because the practice ends at 6:00. I have been pre-occupied with volleyball after school. I have practice everyday and this week I have games Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. With those days I don’t have games I have practice. This causes Marius and I to both be unable to work towards our final project this week. While Alec is just loaded up with homework from his other classes. With all of us being tied down and unable to work on our project. This goes without saying we all have in mind what we have to do. We just have to find time in order to get done what needs to be done. With the upcoming spring break for our school we will have time to get certain things done. With having a full week to work on our project we can be able to finish the while task over the break. We will make sure not to rush th...

 As I have stated before we have still not started to film our final task. This is for multiple reasons. One is that Marius has water polo after school everyday. Its the same case for me but just with volleyball. I have to be at the gym by 3:00 and we leave by 5:30. So we both cant find time to meet up besides the weekend. With Alec he has other things that he has to do before this such as essays and ACT prep. So when Marius and I have time on the weekend to film which really isn't much time due to us also doing homework. We are missing Alec. So we planned to film over Spring Break. This is why we haven't started filming yet. While I was tasked with thinking about and creating the costumes. In all honesty i am probably just going to make the people were normal clothes. This is because these are teenagers so they wouldn't wear anything old.  Marius and Alec would work together on getting some supplies we needed. Fake blood, and a fake knife.

I will also be working on getting my sister to film the clips for us. Finally I will be working on co-directing the film.While we are doing this we can't film. This is for a few reasons, one is that Marius has water polo after school everyday. Its the same case for me but just with volleyball. I have to be at the gym by 3:00 and we leave by 5:30.

My group has not started filming yet. We are still finishing up the brainstorming for the script, and storyboard. Along with still brainstorming we had to study for the SAT. During the days upcoming to the SAT my group was in touch but we had not finished up our ideas yet. This was due to us studying for the SAT's that we would take the following day. We also still have to confirm if we can film at Marius house and gated community. While we were brainstorming about our project we also were working on other things for the project. I was working on the health blog. While Marius was working on the script blog. Finally Alec was working on the title design blog. Then we all worked on the storyboard together. While we were all working on separate parts of the project we were in contact with each other still brainstorming other ideas. Some of the ideas we were thinking about were costumes, make-up and etc. We came up with the idea that I was going to get my sisters to help with the make-u...
