MORE PROBLEMS 😵‍💫

Hi blog! 

It’s been a while, so let me tell you what’s been going on lately. Unfortunately, this project has hit me with more obstacles than I could’ve ever imagined. Let me explain… A couple of days after I had wrapped up filming, or so I believed my phone completely crashed due to an unexpectable amount of water damage which I admit is my fault. I was forced to take it to the phone store to get it fixed, and all of my previous data deleted, including my footage. I received it back on Thursday night, just a day that I was planning on starting my editing process. Now this was actually so devastating for me because it would mean that I would have to make up all of the lost footage meaning I needed to film all over again. This took me some time, because filming is time-consuming. And not only that, but I was also filming on the days that I was supposed to be editing. Meaning, I fell behind on schedule by a lot. My filming process took up two days, since thankfully, I already knew everything that I wanted to do, so the process went pretty smoothly. By the time I actually wrapped up all of my filming, it was Saturday, meaning I had only two days to get as far as I could on editing, therefore, I will not be providing any post-production blogs, which I understand is disappointing. As a last-minute decision, I also decided to change my music because I wasn’t very content with the music that I had originally chosen. The song I selected is "Bring the Energy Up" by Soundroll.

If all of that wasn’t already enough, I had already taken down my wall of props and throw it away. This was the only indication that my character’s timeline took place in the 2000s, so I would have to scratch that idea altogether. It was very hard to settle on this decision because after all of that time that I spent researching props, I would not be using my research to that extent. Although I did earn a lot of knowledge from that area, which I guess would be the upside to it. I also decided that, although my character would not be showing her personality through props a very big part that I would not have to focus on would be riving since that shapes the storyline mainly. I chose to give her a simpler costume that just indicates she spends most of her time at home. The rest of my research was necessary, however, and I did incorporate into my opening.
