Change

 Today, we filmed several scenes for our project, including re-shoots. We planned to film more, but since the camera charger was missing, we had to use our phones and ran out of time before sunset. After filming, we put together a rough draft of the opening. 

Disclaimer: We changed our plot.  

When we filmed the first day, we realized we had too much in the opening and it was very fast paced. To aid our plot and tone of the story, the scenes had to be slow paced, and we decided to cut all our scenes except the ones in Maddie’s room.  

The scene in the school, Maddie in the car, walking into the house, and making a snack were all cut out. We decided to solely focus on Maddie’s main environment, her bedroom. The last day of school is implied in a calendar and her not having friends is shown in the texting scene. So, even though we don’t explicitly show it, if the audience pays close attention, they will notice. 

So, we made a new story board to help us organize better; 

 

We also decided to use my mom’s camera to film, and my sister’s tripod because last time I struggled to keep the camera stable and not shaky.
