Prepping for Filming Day #2

 Hey! So on Saturday, Amelie, Isaac, and Lilly visited my house. We met up at about 10:30 am. Amelie arrived at 10, so I showed her the props I had been working on the night before. They looked excellent!

I “made” three books by printing out book jackets that would fit well. I also wrote a title on a Sharpie pen, as we had planned. But, it did not turn out at all how I had wanted it to. I was extremely disappointed. So, when Amelie got to my house, I asked her advice and we decided to make two friendship bracelets for the last needed title. They needed to describe that “Sammie Burton” was the executive producer. So we made one bracelet that said “EXEC PROD” which equated to “executive producer” and another one that had two layers. The top layer said “SAMMIE” and the bottom layer said “BURTON.”

After spilling the beads a few times, which I was extremely frustrated with, I finished the bracelet! It was only when I put it on Amelie’s hand that I realized I had misspelled the name. Instead of “BURTON” I wrote “BRUTON.” It was an honest mistake, as I had been racing to finish it, but I was disappointed nonetheless. We decided that it would be okay for one name to be spelled incorrectly, as there were no real people involved in the production of our final task - except ourselves of course.

After we finished the bracelets, I drove us all to breakfast. A bagel shop is right next to our filming location, so it was extremely convenient. We had a very pleasant interaction with a funny employee and had our breakfast. Soon after, we drove next door to Barnes & Noble.

Here are the bracelets!

  Hi! We were finally able to start filming for our movie! There were so many days off of school all throughout January and the beginning of February. So, we made a plan to film on January 22, a teacher-work day, when we had off from school.  We quickly realized that was an unrealistic proposition. We had not yet made our storyboard, or any props. We could have gone anyway and improvised. Instead, we discussed in our group chat and made a unanimous decision to reschedule.  We rescheduled to February 1, an early release day. I drove Amelie, Isaac, Lilly, and myself to get lunch, and then to Barnes and Noble. We walked upstairs to the spot we envisioned. When we arrived, it was a lot different than we envisioned. They had moved a shelf of books so there was no longer anything placed in the upstairs corner of the store. We adapted, and instead decided to set up in front of a bookshelf. That bookshelf was facing a window, giving us a lot of natural light, which was necessary ...
