Trouble in Paradise

 Since our last filming day, we haven’t been able to record. It’s a very frustrating situation because we couldn’t do anything about it. The weather has been awful, so the scenes we would shoot would look nothing like the material we already have. The outdoor scenes we have require sunny weather. It has been raining constantly, so we could not film at the park we filmed at previously. Essentially, time is being wasted due to poor conditions. For now, we have been working on the draft of our project. I sent my mockup to Aidan, my fellow editor, to look over. He had some interesting feedback to give me. He re-edited some portions of the montage. Additionally, he changed the music for the project entirely. I feel that this made a vast improvement to what we had already. Even though the beginning is nearly complete, we still have to film the later portion of the project. The entire ending needs to be shot. This will require more actors outside of the group. We have all talked to our friends and family to see who can join us to complete the project. We plan on filming after school because everyone will be together. Since the park is close to our school, we can all make it there easily to film the ending scene. The ending scene is going to be the volleyball tryouts. Throughout the beginning of the film, we emphasize the importance of this event and how badly Randy’s character wants to make the team. I feel that ending the film on this note is perfect as the tension around the event has been consistently built up until that point in the film. Our only issue at this point is getting good weather to film in. Once that happens, we’ll be well on our way to completing the project.
