Filming Blog: Setbacks With Filming

 As time comes closer and closer to the due date, we seem to be facing adversity as we struggle to find time to film. This weekend it was decided by our group that we were going to film, and I really thought we were. This however was not the case. In the end wee didn't even have the opportunity to meet up at all. Our original plan was to film on Saturday morning and Sunday night. We had everything ready to film, This including: Permission from the cemetery to film there Saturday morning, Ryan's mom's car, and the outfits which we were going to wear. Unfortunately, we ended up not meeting up because of the heavy rain all day and as well the fact that Ryan's mom would not let her drive under the dangerous weather. Saturday morning we all came together and discussed about the situation and tried to come up with a simple solution. On solution we had was to film later throughout the day as it began to stop raining, but we couldn't because the weather just did not change until it was already to late. We had to cancel the plans for Saturday which was very upsetting, and had to tell the other people we asked to come to be a part of our film, to stay home due to the fact that we were not going to be filming anymore. We still had the plan to work on Sunday to shoot the next scene in the film.

Sunday we were supposed to meet around 7-8 p.m. and film the other scene of the movie, where Luca (one of the main leads in the film) gets kidnapped while everyone is camping. This time we had to face some new problems that prevented us from filming again. I was called up by my team to play a game at 6:00, and this interfered with the time schedule for filming. I told my group I would come later but they needed me for basically the whole thing. Another problem which we had to face was, that some of the outside people coming to help us and to be a part of our movie ditched us last minute. We started looking for replacements to help us out with the movie but everyone seemed so caught up in there own personal situations. We only found one person that was available to come and stay for the whole thing. We sadly again came to a  group decision that we weren't going to film on Sunday anymore because it was very difficult making a plan that actually worked and we also started to get annoyed by the fact that some people cancelled last minute. We all came to a pact that since we didn't film two weekends in a row, we will film during this week and meet up during the weekend to edit everything. Hopefully we still get the results we are aiming for.
