  I'm back, and this time I've got some better news than the last time. I'm ecstatic to report that we might be able to film! Finally, a day without rain and bright sunshine. When we acquired the images we needed for this day, we were overjoyed and felt incredibly successful. We arrived at the beach early, so there were few people around. We didn't want it to be entirely full, so this was a huge consideration. It wasn't a quick shoot at all. It took about an hour to do this task. The lighting was excellent, but it was nearly uncomfortably bright. In the end, we were able to obtain what we required. It appears to be quite professional, and we are really pleased with the results. The airport sequences will most likely be the next thing we shoot. With spring break approaching, Ella and I will be gone. On the plane, we both have the opportunity to film. We'll film separately and then combine them to make it appear as if we're on the plane together. This should b

So as you can probably tell by the title, it was raining today! We had plans to film at the beach after school today to get some clips but we couldn’t. Although we couldn’t film, we didn’t want the day to go to waste. So we went to a coffee shop and jotted down some more ideas of what we can add to our film, like props, costumes, etc. The beach was also very busy with spring breakers so this also was a reason to not film today. We did make plans to raincheck for our filming at the beach. We both have set aside time out of our weekend to do so. The weather in Florida has been all over the place right now, but I hope we get some good weather this weekend. We have a lot of work to do! We have a schedule for our filming days and what we aim to accomplish. We both hope we can get it done earlier to fix anything that is necessary. Even though this was a little bump in the road it won’t stop us! Ella and I work very well together and are on the same page all the time. We strive to make sure n

 In the first storyboard we have the entry into the movie, the beginning is Ella and I entering Florida (the vacation) after the scenes on the plane. These scenes begin to show the atmosphere and setting that the story begins.  The second storyboard is Ella and I introducing another setting where the drama begins, the setting is a hotel. Mysterious things begin to start and I become suspicious and Ella is trying to calm me down.  The third storyboard is where the Antagonist is introduced and how he enters the setting and story. The setting is still continuing in the hotel but the tension of the story begins to rise as I leave the room alone.  The fourth storyboard is where I begin to find and follow the antagonist, however the viewers are in suspense because the scenes don't go into much detail besides for me in suspicion. The story introduces a setting which is the staircase and I begin to trail the antagonist.  The last storyboard is where the story wraps up, I run up to Ella to

I'm back! It was a great first day of filming today! Despite not accomplishing much..we did start the process. The first two scenes, three scenes, and the fifth scene were the ones we started with. They took place in an airport, a taxi, and a hotel. Our first scene was filmed in an airport, in which Ella and I were going through security and checking in for our flight. It was particularly challenging to film the scenes in the airport as there were a lot of people around. It was awkward to explain that we were filming for a project to staff and it was even more awkward for normal guests just trying to check in. Because we are waiting for spring break before we shoot the plane scene, we haven't shot it yet. As a result, it requires a lot more work and time, and we were pressed for time. We have a few great ideas for the plane scene, but the one we are most likely to incorporate is us both shooting scenes separately on the plane on our way to spring break. As compared to making a

      We finally began our first day of filming! We didn't accomplish much, however we did start on the project. The scenes we began on were scenes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The settings for these first scenes were the airport, in a " taxi", and in a hotel. The first scene was shot in the airport, we had Ella and I going through the airport as well as "checking in" for our flight. The scenes in the airport were particularly difficult to film because I have bad social anxiety that I had to overcome. It was very awkward having to explain to staff that we were filming for a project and it was even worse for normal people trying to simply get their check-in done. The plane scene we haven't shot yet because that requires a lot more work and time and we were limited on time. For the plane scene we have multiple ideas, but one we will most likely go with is both of us separately shooting scenes in the planes ourselves on the way to our vacations for Spring break.

Font: We chose three different possible fonts to use.  1. Arial 2. Georgia 3.  Times Contrast Color: The contrast color will be either a white or black depending on the colors we choose for the background of our titles. We want to make it colorful and entertaining to match with the theme if our movie.  Working Title: The title of our film will be called "Drug Island" Title Entering and Exit: The titles will pop into the screen when characters show up, we want the background to be videos of the characters in action so it gives an introduction into the movie. The exiting of the titles will either be them swiping out of the screen or them simply fading into the scene.  Title Timing: The titles will be on the screen for about four seconds each, the only title that will be on for further time will be the name of our production studio.  Name of the Studio: Della Production Studios  Actors Names:  Ella Wills Dellana Radzwill Sophia Radzwill Mason Carlini Music by: Unsure

Participants:  Actors:  Ella Wills Dellana Radzwill  Mason Carlini  Sophia Radzwill Filming:  Ella Wills Dellana Radzwill Editing: Dellana Radzwill Directing: Ella Wills  Health and Safety:  To ensure the safety of our crew and actors, Ella's parents have volunteered to keep parental guidance over us and act as a safety crew. We will always have an adult figure with us when filming so all goes smoothly and so there is someone responsible at all times.  On our "set" we will include an emergency kit that will be supplied with bandaids, rubbing alcohol, swabs, and cotton incase of any wounding during scenes. For the more dangerous scenes where our actors will be in places like airports with random people, we will have two adults there to keep watch. As for scenes where our actors have to run or fall, we will make sure that we have an emergency kit in case of anyone getting hurt. Location:  We will be filming in multiple different areas, this includes the airport, the beach,
