      Hey guys, it's Sean. Today I unfortunately have some sad news. I was just diagnosed with the flu. Beyond that Jackson has a funeral Saturday. My condolences go to him but now filming is an issue. It was all set in stone but in a brief 12 hours, it all came down. Now an idea is either Friday or Sunday. I hope the flu goes fast because I can't show up to film with it. Rhys is the most important as he is the main character. Sean is available but 3 of us just came crashing down at the finish line. The goal was to give 2 weeks to film but that isn't reality now. Maybe we can have Jackson's brother film but I would need to make a more in-depth script so he knows the shots and order. I won't be back at school until Thursday when I will talk to our teacher. Due dates are important but so are family emergencies. For now, all I can do is the media package. We are giving Jackson space for Instagram as he needs time. The project is due 17 days from today. This is now not ...

      Hey guys, it's sean again. Last night laying in bed all I could think about was if our scenes could be better. I sat there for a good hour looking back at each scene and next time we meet I will run the ideas by the group. But one thing I would like to film as well is some transition shots to add along so while we edit it looks more fluid. Nothing is set yet but we have one more day to film to make changes. I overlooked the scenes indoors and I do not see a need to reshoot them but I must ask the group. My mom also comes back tomorrow so I may have more responsibilities than I had this weekend but while laying down I thought all that. As much as I missed out on going offroading with Sean. Or seeing Travis Scott in spring training in Palm Beach with Jackson. Reflection is needed to ensure quality. I want to pump this out and finish the media package but I am only one person. In other news, Rhys is available next Saturday so as long as that happens we have 2 weeks to ...

 Hey guys, it's sean. Today we kicked off filming at Jacksons' house. Due to sudden plans, we decided today to only film inside. Next time then we can focus on the car and park scenes. We will continue again on the following Saturday. Rhys was great without him filming would have been terrible. Now over 1/4 of all the scenes are done and we don't need to take over Jackson's house all day. Everything worked out with the costumes and props. Small change is Sean is the antagonist. Rhys is the main character. Jackson is the officer, and I am the filmer. Now in the next week, the focus is on the small media package. I will take you guys on the path of designing a website. Jackson is dealing with the Instagram over on his blogger. March 15th is a bit over 3 weeks away so we can just grind it out now and begin studying for essays. Originally we wanted to be done this weekend but Rhys is unavailable tomorrow. In the meantime, another group has asked me for help. Helping out a g...

       Hey guys it's Sean again. The script is almost done but a small issue is becoming the media package. So Jackson is in charge of social media. In turn, my job is the website. Yet none of us are big on graphic design so the postcard we are unsure of. Sean is up for the challenge but he is already editing and we do not want to fill his plate. And on filming we are crunching time at this point and may need to film next weekend too.  At the same time, I don't even know my work hours next week so we can't plan yet. But I placed a hold order on the costumes so that is all set. Most props are household like shoes and a car that we need. But in sad news, my rebel camera broke so now we will be filming on my iPhone 14 pro. By all means it is still a good camera nonetheless. Once my family is back in town we can discuss further filming plans. We all drive so transportation is not an issue but other plans are. Jackson plays baseball, I work, and Sean is a senior doin...

      Hey guys it's sean, this is the start of our official movie production. We are full steam ahead for now february 24th and 25th. This was delayed due to everyone having personal issues. Me myself, my moms father passed away in we all went to a funeral which was a major reason to halt the film date. Saturday morning while Jackson is at baseball practice I plan to get the needed costumes and props. I will film and our stars will be Jackson, Sean, and Sean's friend Rhys. Jackson will act as the cop and body in needed scenes. Sean will be the main antagonist. And Rhys will be our main character. I will be the director and filmmaker. Currently, I am finishing up the script to send over so lines will be all set for filming. Improv however will be present to really show how they fit into their roles. The time is on a crunch as Jackson is free at 2 but busy at 5 so we have 3 hours but can reshoot shots if needed at a later date. Worst case someone can't film and we find a su...

Hey guys, we are back from break and planning continues. This film is unlike any work from last year and it is setting in. Jackson and sean are juniors who have a lot going on. while Sean D is a senior ready to get his diploma which is his last credit and ours too.  Unlike last year it is simpler as our location is right by Jackson's house, it's a forest park where we can film and use the natural setting. We plan to try and start production in mid-February and get ahead of it as junior year is busy but you never know. Our backup time is right after the school SAT as we would no longer worry about that. Jackson and Sean are the main actors along with one of his neighbors which is undecided yet who will act as the victim found in our thriller. Being in a natural environment people can be at risk so finding a safe section without wild animals is a must. Our props so far are minimal as we just need a car, outfits for the actors along with a phone to act as how they call 911. My Dsl...
