Getting Ready For Three

We finally agreed to film on Thursday which was an early release day and also the last day before spring break. I asked my mother to stay home so I could film with Lauren since she was already staying home. We have a group chat together so that is where all this was discussed. I then asked Sofia if she could ask her mother, but she had a mandatory test she had to take. I then decided that I would go over to Lauren's before Sofia and she would come over once she got off the bus. I messaged Lauren separately and we came up with a schedule. I originally said I would get there at 11:30 - 12, but I woke up later than expected. I was also so tired, that I ended up getting there at 1 PM. It all worked out though because it gave Lauren time to get ready. The night before, I told Lauren to get "news anchor and camera ready" which meant full makeup and hair. I also picked out and packed my bag for the next day. Even though it will say Lauren is in charge of costumes, it is really I who is in charged. I need to get clothes for Lauren, Sofia, and myself. I picked out some gray shorts, jean shorts, a brown shirt, white laced up wedges, and a black dress with a matching black cardigan for myself. I also packed those same wedges for Lauren and a black leather blazer/jacket for her first shot. Sofia needed a black dress so I brought multiple black and a white cardigan, which is for the funeral scene. I also packed my makeup and tripod to make filming easier. When I pulled the tripod out, I realized that part of the light was missing. I asked my sister and soon found it. I also asked her to help me with it because I didn't know how to use it. She showed me how to make it shorter and taller, use the light, and put my phone on the stand. After that, I gather my computer so I could study my lines. It took no more than ten minutes and after I sent both Lauren and Sofia their lines. I told Lauren to study her when she got ready in the morning and Sofia to study them on the bus home.

Filming With Sofia

Thursday was also the day that Sofia and I filmed together. First we had to get the scene with Lauren on the TV. I had to go on my phone and connect it to the TV so we could get the first scene on it. I had to email it to Lauren then go on her computer and that's how it connected to the TV. Once I got it on the TV we started scene two. I changed into jean shorts and a brown shirt. I also put on my Converse. We sat on Lauren's couch and I put the remote right next to me. I got my tripod and angled it to how I wanted. Originally we wanted to have Lauren move with us, but I decided that she should just stay there. I pressed the record button and went to the couch. I told Lauren to play the last ten seconds. After doing the scene three times, I realized that I wanted to change our lines. I decided that instead of talking, I would only say "I just can't" and kind of stutter. I would do this right at the end of the scene. Then I walked out of the camera. We got it in on

Messy Makeup and Crazy Clothes

The countdown of starting to film the final task video has begun. I decided it would be a good idea to start gathering the props, makeup, and costumes necessary. Out of the four of us, I would say I have the widest range, and best closet to use. I went through a massive makeup obsession about three years ago and received a bunch of makeup. Yesterday, I decided to go through it and pick out some good palettes. I chose the “Conspiracy” palette by Jeffree Star and the “Morphe x James Charles” palette. It has all kinds of blues, yellows, whites, purples, reds, and blacks. Then I looked up some makeup tutorials on YouTube to test out how to make fake bruises and marks. It turned out way better than I thought. Then I went onto the costumes. I used some from my closet and some from the clothes I bought this weekend with the intent to use it for the video. I tried on multiple outfits and changed about 20 times. I am going to use one of my plain white shirts for Riley in scene six when she is

For the commercial project I am working with Sofia Grajales and Camille Keith. I just recently met the two of them though. Even though we just met, we are already the best of friends. We enjoy each others company and always have a great time when we are together. However, I haven't worked with them on a school project or assignment before. Working with friends can be tricky because it is easier to get sidetracked. Also, I don't know how their dedication is in school and how well they preform. Although, I am good at staying on task and making sure everything is getting done. Since we are all good friends there is very little doubt they will let me down in this project. I am a very hard worker especially when it comes to group projects. I always make sure to do my part. I hope that my partners have the same mentality as me because if they do we can work wonders on this project. I can only hope that they work well in groups. Since we get along so well, again, there is very little
