My final task is called "No Matter the Distance". The film is about a girl named Alex, who finds out that she's moving, but has a secret that she can't keep to herself. She's liked her best friend Noah for quite a while now, but she was worried that if she told him, their friendship would never be the same again. The first two minutes of the film (what I am submitting) are about Alex finding out that she's moving, asking her friend Ava for advice, and then finally telling Noah how she feels. The end of the two minutes is the cliffhanger, where Noah kisses Alex, and they must now figure out what they should do from there. Throughout the two minutes, a series of titles and names are displayed on the screen too. I hope you enjoy watching my film, thank you. https://youtu.be/U8SO_n36BFk 

These past few days have been really productive in regards to my film. I finished filming all of my remaining scenes over the past two days. I did this on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Tuesday, I went to the beach to film the driving scenes. I have a couple scenes that take place in my car, so I had to film a lot of angles and views. I went to the beach with my mom, because some of the clips don't take place inside of the car. She drove my car, while I filmed. She doesn't know how to film, so since the clips were from far away, you can't tell who's driving the car. On Wednesday, I filmed the scenes that take place at my house. Either in the driveway or inside. I was waiting until Wednesday to film these scenes because I didn't have the props for them until earlier this week. I used a cardboard box for one scene. For this scene, I had to be packing up my clothes, to represent my packing for the move. In another scene, I used a "for sale" sign in my driveway. Th...

Over the weekend, I received my second dose of the COVID-19 Vaccine. I had my first dose about three weeks ago, and I was just a bit sore. With the second dose, I actually had some symptoms. I had similar symptoms when I had COVID-19. I had a fever, a horrible headache, and a super sore body. So this weekend I couldn't really go anywhere or do anything. Although this weekend wasn't very productive, today was. Today, Monday, April 12th, was a productive day in my opinion. I began to attach my titles to my film onto the parts that were edited already. I also went to the store to buy a moving box for one of my scenes. I also bought a "for sale" sign for another scene. I have two scenes left to film, which are the ones that involved the props that I needed to buy. Tomorrow, I hope to film those two scenes, because I just need to be home to film them. I should definitely clean my bedroom before filming the packing box scene though. I'm also thinking of redoing my drivi...

In the past three days, I haven't filmed anything new yet. It's ok because I edited what I had already filmed. I had already edited a few scenes about a week ago, but I had filmed new scenes this past weekend. I had a total of four scenes to edit. The scenes that I had filmed over the weekend were scenes six, seven, nine, and ten. In scene six, Alex meets up with Ava at the beach. I actually had to change the location due to other factors, so instead of the beach, it was on the roof of a parking garage. In this scene, Alex asks Ava for advice on if she should tell Noah how she really feels about him or not. Scene seven was also with Ava and Alex. They're in a different part of the parking deck, and Alex texts Noah to see if he wants to meet up later to talk. Ava and Alex say goodbye to each other and Alex gets in her car. In scene nine, the location changes. This is the scene where Alex meets up with Noah. They greet each other and hug, then walk over to sit and talk togeth...

Yesterday, April 4th, was Easter Sunday. You would think that on a day like that, no one would do any work, but that wasn't the case with me. Earlier in the week, I had planned to meet up with my friends Skyler and Paul. They are both acting in my movie, and their scenes were some of the last ones that I needed to get done. Skyler plays the character, Ava, in my film. Paul's role is the character of Noah. On Sunday, I met up with Skyler at around 3 pm. I met up with Paul at around 6 pm on the same day. I did have to make some changes to the locations at which we filmed for all of my scenes. Since other states are having their spring breaks right now, the beach was super packed, which meant I had to switch locations to film with Skyler. We switched from the beach to the roof of a brand new parking garage. I think the switch in locations was actually a very good idea. We filmed using different angles too. It took approximately an hour and a half to film. Then at around 6 pm, I me...

In the past three days, I did not film. I didn't plan on filming either, so it's not like I went off of my schedule. These three days were the ending days of the third quarter of school, so I was getting a lot of homework done. I had to take tests, do homework assignments, and even a few projects for other classes. I'm working during the week too, which is why I've been so busy. My plan still remains the same, to film this Sunday. On April 4th, I will meet up with my friend Paul, who plays Noah, and film both scenes that include him. This will be around 5 pm on Sunday. Also on Sunday, I'm meeting up with my friend Skyler, who is playing the role of Ava. I will meet up with her before meeting with Paul. It will be around 2 or 3 pm if everything works out. I'm cutting it really close with the filming, but I believe that I will get it all done. I also still have to film one scene, and also one part of a scene. This is because of the materials that I need for them. ...
