Group Blog

     To begin with, I love my group. The people in my group are incredible and always make laugh. They are all so kind and if I don't have time to do a piece of the project they are always there for me. They make me so happy I joined the group. We all work so well together. They make writing this so easy. In my group there is Angie Mendez, Lili Amblard, and Aleiah Luster. Angie is very close to me. We are also talking and laughing. She helps calm down when I get anxiety or overwhelmed. Lili without a doubt always makes me laugh. She brings a peace into the group that is needed. She also brings a diffrent set of eyes because she is older than all of us. Aleiah is someone I am trying to get closer too. She is very quiet and reserved. But when she says her opinion we all listen because she never has a problem with anything. I like my group so much everyone just connects together and brings something to the table we can use. Something about our group though is that all of our schedules are so occupied. We are all always so busy so it becomes difficult to film spontaneously. However, Lili always lets us know to plan ahead when we are going to film and it has been such a huge relief for us.

The heat.

 On Tuesday, the 28 I started filming. So first I had to change to a more causal clothing attire. Even though I would only be showing my legs in these scenes. I changed into sweatpants to film my first two scenes. I started off by filming the second scene first. The second scene is the 180 view of the Nike Air-forces. I decide to film this shot in the sun because it gave my shoes great lighting. Additionally, my shoes have a holographic piece and it changes colors with the lighting. I kept retaking my shot because it kept coming out shaky and it had to be smooth. Also, due to the sun it caused there to be a shadow. It was very difficult not to get my shadow while I was shooting. In my opinion, if it has the shadow it may look unprofessional. After, 5 takes I got the perfect one. However, I was directly in the sun the entire time so by the end I was super exhausted and sweaty. The next scene that I filmed was the first scene. The first since is of me walking. For this scene I decide...
