more and more filming

 We woke up bright an early this weekend because there was no more pushing anything back and lowkey it was really fun. 

We first had to start by making the prop of the bathroom wall that we took from accounts on the internet that post writings on the bathroom walls and so we took inspiration and started to doodle on the clear vinyl to look like a bunch of highschooler wrote on it anonymously. We decided to use different colors but leaned most to black because most kids have black sharpies in their backpack so we wanted to make it realistic as possible. 



Then we went to film at our choice of park  vista which was the most stressful thing we could have don people kept walking in and out of the bathroom and it kept us on or toes on when we could and couldn't film in retrospect we should've filmed a weekday because people barley go to the park on week days and the bathroom would've been like a ghost town but you learn from your mistakes. So that's our plan to fil the opening scene since our actor for that couldn't today because of a holiday. Now once we get into the bathroom and finished setting everything up Nicole realized she forgot a very vital piece of equipment the SD card and after a freak out we sent Juan to go grab it which was an excoriating 40 minuets because let me tell you that bathroom was hot. but once we got the SD card we began to film now we did it as quick as possible but not to say we didn't run into some poor people who went into the bathroom but through it all we finished the bathroom scenes. 

After this we had to film a montage that was added last minuet to really emphasizing the point of thinking and self reflecting on a character now this is where we ran around trying to film in different locations ending up in a park and back to Juans house for a couple scenes but over all it was a really productive day.
