 Greetings! Welcome back. I want to talk more about filming and what the process was like. To start off a little more from the beginning, everything went smoothly. What ended up happening was Omnia and Harley came home with me from school on Thursday, March 16 and Marlo got a ride to my house from her parents. Filming started at around 5pm and sundown was at 7:30pm. My group and I used the 2 and 1/2 hours of daylight to film all the daytime scenes for this opening sequence. Scenes that were filmed were out of order due to the multiple days in the movie but only one day for the group to film. There was definitely much distraction due to the fact of my group and I being good friends and there is so much to talk about between us so it was hard to keep focus for long periods of time. Everyones ideas and opinions were heard and all of us had much creative input to give on scenes and how they should be filmed to portray the theme of the movie. Any night scenes in this opening sequence were f

 Welcome back! Today I'm going to talk about the filming process for this final task. The scenes that were filmed for this final task were filmed a bit out of order. This final task was filmed in a span of about 4 hours. There are during the day scenes and evening scenes. Any scenes that occurred in daylight for the final task were filmed when there was daylight out so there was a lot of out of order filming. When the sun went down and it began to turn dark around 7:30PM is when I started filming all the dark scenes that needed to be filmed. The good thing about this was that filming was able to be done in a single day instead of having to come up with more film dates to continue to shoot scenes that were needed because everyone has a very busy schedule and it was hard enough coming up the date that my group filmed on. My group and I worked very diligently in order to get filming done with and things came together pretty well. There is one scene that I forgot to film being the car

 Welcome back! I am going to discuss some of the things that were used in filming this final task. One thing I suggested to be used in this project as a prop is a scary mask as well as a black coverup and some gloves for the killer to wear to make this opening sequence scarier have the costume fit the vibe of a killer. Another prop that was essential in having for this project was a big knife. The knife would be the object used to kill the woman. Along with the knife, I suggested the idea of having fake blood. Although it is not one hundred percent necessary, I liked the idea of it in order to make the killing look more real. The outfits that were suggested for each character was different but limited because not too many clothes could be brought to school by my group mates. The two girls in the film were wearing pretty normal basic outfits that fit the idea of the movie. I suggested that Omnia bring a bathing suit so that way when I would film her falling into the pool after she gets

 Hello again! There has been a few changes in the filming process. As you know, the filming date for this project is Thursday, March 16, 2023. Some things have changed with the location of filming this project. This project was supposed to be filmed at my dads new and very big modern house that we are moving into in a couple of months. Things changed because my dad is renting out that house to different people before we move in. A couple booked to stay in the house starting today, Tuesday, March 14 all the way through Tuesday, March 28. This had me thinking because the people renting out the house will be there on the date that my group was going to film. The projects deadline is coming up quickly and I knew that my group could not wait two whole weeks before we film so I decided to improvise. I came up with the idea that instead the final task will be filmed at the current house my dad and I are in. This house is smaller but still has most of the necessities that will be needed. There

 Hello, welcome back! Today I am going to talk about the different roles in the ‘Behind You’ opening sequence. Normally, I suggest to my group that I want to be the main character in the other projects that have been done before. This time, I agreed to doing mostly all the filming. This is a little bit out of my comfort zone, but I know that I will do so amazing when it comes to filming. I have always had a knack for using a camera and filming things as well as angles. Ever since I was little, I have loved photography, so being able to film this project will be something I enjoy doing even though I do greatly enjoy acting in these projects. Omnia will be taking the role of the main character in this final task. Harley will be taking the role as the killer. Marlo will be taking the role as the main character’s best friend. Although I will be filming most of this final task, I will most likely play a small role in it. The need for build up id crucial, so having more characters added to t

 Hello! Welcome to production. I am truly so excited to film this opening sequence final task. There was much discussion about where and when my group and I would film this final task opening sequence. I had the idea to film this project at my dads new house. My dad owns two houses and the one that the project is going to be filmed at is the house that me and my dad are moving into very soon. I had come up with this location to film because of the fact that the opening sequence is about a girl moving into her new home so having a very sharp looking new home is an amazing idea for this project. Due to the house not being moved into yet, there is no mess or clothes or anything lying around causing it to be so believable as to the fact the girl is truly moving in. The backup house would have been Harley's house but me as well as the group believed that filming at my house would be the perfect option. Every time there was a plan to film this opening sequence, the group could not really
