Let the Production Begin! Or not?

 Hello! Welcome back to my blog, I know it's been a while since I last posted! My group and I have been working towards filming and production in general. I am very eager to start production and follow our planned dates for filming. However, things have not exactly been going to plan up to this point. Several factors keep stopping us from being able to meet up for filming. 

The main problem is that my groupmates and I are constantly busy. I am a junior in high school who has a very demanding workload. I, as well as my groupmates, are in Advanced Placement classes. These classes are very rigorous and take up most of my time outside of school and on the weekends. The reason for this is because these classes often give big tests that I need to study for all weekend to get a good grade on. This has prevented my group and I from being able to film because I am typically busy studying for these classes and have no time to film!

Another reason why I have not been able to film with my group this past week is because my house is currently under renovation. I volunteered my house to be the "production house" because it is two-stories and pretty spacious. So, I figured that it would make the most sense to film at my house and be able to film with more space. I know, great idea, right?! Wrong. As it turns out, the flooring in my house is getting replaced. It would be really difficult to film at my house while the floorboards are being ripped out! So, I told my groupmates and decided that we should begin production a different day. They agreed. 

So, because of my busy schedule and house dilemma, I have not been able to start production yet. Don't worry, it's only a matter of time until I can put these roadblocks behind me and get to filming!

Production is not for the Weak!

Hello, reader! As always, welcome back to my blog! I am glad you were able to stop by again. There are a few thing that have changed since you were last here. For example, my group and I were only able to film a small portion of our short film yesterday. Today, we were planning on finishing the production, but we are all very busy with a studying for a test in another class. So, none of us really prioritized the short film getting made. However, I do want to finish it soon because I love the editing process that comes after production finishing.  Also, speaking of the editing process, it is very tedious. Since I am usually in charge of the editing of a media project, I am worried for a few reasons. One thing that I am worried about is that I will run out of time and not finish editing the final short film. Since the short film has to not look choppy, I am worried if we do not finish production fast enough and I have to edit a rushed piece of media, it will end up looking messy. So,...
