We finished filming and everything!! YAY!!! I have to admit that our movie isn’t the best though. AND, it’s really really short. It was supposed to be like 30 minutes but it was only 10.
We learned that making movies needs to have a lot of ideas. Or your movie will be really short!! Like ours. Even thought we spent a lot of time in it.
I learned that I am a pretty good actress. At least I think so. And we’ve practiced singing together for our next project and we sound pretty good.
Next we are going to practice some songs that we are going to do. We are going to do Mistletoe. We have all the parts done.
By next week, I hope we will all be ready to do our cover. I also want to be able to take the band picture you know?
Our accomplishments of the movie took really long. Now I see why The Sea of Monsters took a year to make. I thought it would only take like 3 months. Silly me.
Sometimes we couldn’t all film. Like sometimes Teresa had to work on her poster. Or Nanako wanted to study for the test. And also Connie isn’t in our A Block. We just filmed the parts that we can film. And when we couldn’t film film anything we changed the dialogue a little and also edited some things together. And also add some music.
We communicated really well. I sent a lot of emails telling our group what we are going to do. Like the plan for the week. I also made a chat group and a group on Facebook. We have a Google Doc with all the information.

Almost Done!
We learned that making movies needs a lot of practice and planning. Youγhave to remember the script! Or at least what’s happening. We have finished filming a LOT of parts. Everything except for the plan on Tammy. Which we are going to film on Monday recess (11/18) We plan to do some of the recording at school and some at home. Because the school is rarely ever quiet. And I want to refilm the plan in action on Rebecca. The ending part of it. I want to get all the filming done by Tuesday. Then we have to record our voices because the background noise is really loud and we can’t hear anything. I think we’ll be done in 1 or 2 weeks. Then we can start on covers!!! The filming took a while because we had to set things up, look at the script and get to our positions. We communicated really well. We emailed, chatted, and reminded each other what to do and the scripts. It was mostly me doing the reminding. π

We Are Filming!!!
We learned that we filming a movie isn’t easy. We also found out that using an iPod to film is really hard because it keeps falling. So now we’re using my computer to film. Also, movie needs A LOT of planning. You can’t just say that you want to film the volleyball part. You have to think, “Are there people on the court?” “Is it raining?” “How will we film?” “Who’s volleyball?” “Which scene first?” “What do we wear?” There’s a lot of things we need to think about. I learned that some of us aren’t really good at acting… No offence though.
The sports scenes we are filming during A Block or on weekends. Because afterschool, before school, and recess there are people on the court. On weekends and lunch/recess we are going to film the other parts. Like the evil plan, the first day of school, the break up, the make up and others. On Monday we are going to film at lunch/recess doing either the first day of school or the break up/make up.
I hope to be able to finish a lot of scenes next week. I want to get at least the first day of school, the break up, and the make up done.
