AICE Media Studies

 Today is Wednesday. I cannot wait to film tomorrow. I am so excited. I hope the rest of my group is. Jason told me he can't wait either. Zane said the same. And I can tell Elena can't wait either. It will be very fun. I get to express myself while filming. It is kind of like a release. A release of creativity. Anyways, my mom is out of town this week. I am cat-sitting my cat Nala, even though I'm at my dads house this week. Every day after school I go to my moms house to check on her. I have a routine. I let Nala inside our house. I fill up her water. Refill her food bowl. Pet her for a while. Give her time to rest, eat and drink. Lastly, I let her outside again for the night. She's an outdoor cat, so she sleeps outside. I really cannot wait to film tomorrow so I'll be sure to blog about it!

 Today is Tuesday. We still plan to film on Thursday. We still plan to meet at Galleria mall. We will meet after school. I drive myself. Jason and Zane also have cars. However, Elena does not. One of us will probably have to drive her. I hear that Zane's practice went well. I hope it did. I'm glad he did not have to skip. Especially because we can film on Thursday instead. Being at a practice on Monday is more important than being at a Friday practice. That is my opinion of course. I just think Monday practice's are more important. Coming off the weekend, players need a tough practice. We don't have much more to film on Thursday. We filmed a lot on Sunday. We just have to wrap some shots up. I'm very excited to film again and I will continue to rest and prepare.

 Today is Monday, the 26th. We still feel very accomplished after yesterday. We did get a lot done. We were meeting, filming and still having fun. It was a lot for one day. Now we plan to rest for the next few days until Thursday. Today we could not meet because I had a massive math test to study for. It is weighted so much in the gradebook. So far I only have 220 points in the gradebook for my math class. This test is weighted 300 points. That is insane. This test will make or break my grade. I am studying insanely hard to be prepared(13). Also, Zane has football practice. He plays the tight end position at our school. I hear he is really good. I doubt the couch would be happy with him for missing practice. Because of this, we plan to film on Thursday. We will probably film at the Galleria mall. Until then, we'll rest and prepare to film.

 We finally did it. My group and I finally got together and filmed! It truly feels like a miracle. After days of rescheduling and technical issues we were finally able to film. We all met at Zane's house at around 10:30 AM today. I arrived second. Elena was already there. Jason arrived about 10 minutes later. We had a blast filming and really got to know each other more. We began almost immediately after meeting Zane's mom. She was very sweet to us and even gave us snacks! Everyone got into character instantly. Zane played Detective Hoffman. Jason played Detective Reynolds. Elena played the coroner. I got to play the dead body! Filming went by in a breeze because it was so fun. We used a tripod and an iPhone 14 Pro to film. We did not exactly film everything today so we plan to film the rest on Thursday. Zane is even planning to skip football practice to help us film!

 There are several reasons why my group and I did not film for our project for our class today. Firstly, we encountered technical difficulties with our camera equipment, which prevented us from capturing the footage we needed. Additionally, the weather was uncooperative as it began to rain heavily, making it unsafe to film outdoors. Furthermore, one of our team members fell unexpectedly ill and was unable to participate in the filming process. Another factor that contributed to our inability to film today was a scheduling conflict among group members, causing us to run out of time to complete the filming. Moreover, we realized that we needed additional props and costumes to enhance the quality of our video, which we did not have on hand. In addition, we needed to scout out a more suitable location for filming, as the original site we had chosen was not conducive to our vision. Furthermore, our group had not yet finalized the script and storyboard, leading to confusion and disorganizati

There are several reasons why my group and I haven't filmed for our project yet. First, we encountered unforeseen technical issues with the camera or equipment. Second, scheduling conflicts among group members prevented us from finding a suitable time to film. Additionally, inclement weather conditions or unexpected events disrupted our filming plans. Furthermore, we needed more time to adequately prepare and plan out the filming process. Other priorities and commitments outside of the project took precedence, causing delays in filming. Moreover, securing a location for filming was a challenge until now. Additionally, creative differences or disagreements within the group needed to be resolved before we could start filming. Furthermore, challenges in obtaining necessary permissions or permits for filming also contributed to the delay. Inadequate funding or resources hindered our progress on the project. Unexpected personal or health issues among group members impacted our ability t

A number of things have caused our filming project to be postponed. Unexpected personal concerns arose for one member. There were technical issues with the apparatus. Unfavorable weather made outdoor photography difficult. Conflicts over scheduling between group members surfaced. It was overlooked how much work goes into making costumes and props. An important shooting site was rendered unusable. Obtaining licenses for specific sites proved difficult. Decision-making was prolonged by script modifications. A few of the group members were ill. Logistics of transportation presented difficulties. The purchase of equipment was restricted by budgetary constraints. Conflicts over creativity impeded development. Meetings in person were hampered by pandemic limitations. Casting became problematic. There were problems in post-production. Costume and prop procurement took longer than expected. Personal technology broke down. Obtaining funding proved to be challenging. Revisions were required due

 Unfortunately, our group has not been able to film so far. We have struggled to find a single available time to film together. Apparently we were supposed to film on Monday, February 19th. On Sunday, I received a text from our group's group chat. Our group began talking about how we planned on meeting on Monday. I said I could not make it on Monday but I could make it on Sunday night. Elena responded saying that they talked about meeting on Monday and agreed to film at Zane's house. However, I was not part of the conversation so I was not aware of this. Zane then said that he texted me and Jason in a group chat to come to his house on Monday, supposedly reminding us. However, he quickly realized he put himself in the group chat rather than me. I don't blame him as it is not hard to confuse our names. Overall, we were unable to film on Monday because I had no knowledge that my group planned to meet(12). I would like to meet soon. I want to film this upcoming weekend. I beli
