Production Blog- My Second Video Diary

Hi, it's Jenna again! Yesterday was my last video diary for this class. Although I had originally planned to do it at work today, I then came to the realization that my coworkers would probably bully me out of it. Today I work from 4-12, and school finishes at 3. Luckily, I bought an energy drink yesterday to get me through it. I am slowly finding photos of myself to put in the commercial. I am worried about the fact that I don't  have any photos just of myself. Hopefully that won't affect my grade. I have also been struggling to focus in school due to the excessive amount of people in all my classes. Normally, I could do all of this in my study hall, and be done extremely quickly. However, I made a somewhat bad decision last year that is preventing me from getting my study hall. I joined the Soaring L's Mentorship program, not just as a mentor, but as a lead mentor. I also happened to get the history teacher (who shall remain nameless) who likes in drowning his students in a heaping pile of homework. Both this and the program demand lots of my free time. Unfortunately, so does my job. Hopefully, I can split my time between here and times where the customers actually leave me alone, to do this project. I have goals to have straight A's this year to keep my 4.5 GPA. I have faith that if I continue working non-stop and survive on nothing but popcorn and energy drinks. Worst case scenario, I end up in the hospital and I get a homework break for a few days. 

See you next time!

Finishing filming

Image
  After a session of filming, we managed to capture some successful scenes for our comedy horror movie project. The responsibility of editing the footage falls to my partner, who will be handling that aspect of the post-production process. Despite our efforts, the search for another actress proved fruitless, leading to a decision where I had to step in and portray multiple roles. In the absence of an additional actress, I took on the characters of the waitress, the woman, and the man in our film. This unexpected turn of events presented a unique challenge but also an exciting opportunity to showcase my acting skills in a variety of roles. The flexibility and adaptability required to switch between these characters added an extra layer of complexity to our project. As we move forward with the editing phase, the diverse roles I portrayed will bring a distinct flavor to the initial minutes of our movie. The experience of embodying different characters within the same film has been bot...
