3...2...1...ACTION!

-

    Hey welcome back! The team was ready to film, everyone got into positions and action! The first team, Jacobo and Johanna, headed off and I instructed them on how the scene would be taken and what their actions should be , I am proud it came pretty well, as good as scene filmed in almost absolute darkness, can be filmed. Now that their part was done, they were to help for the rest the filming. While walking towards the next area, I noticed how dangerous the glass was, so I warned everyone to keep a close eye on the ground to make sure they didn't step on anything hazardous objects. 

For the next scene, Sophia, Benjamin and I would be the characters and so everyone got into their role. This however, is when things started getting weird. I felt weird walking in the next area, it was huge, but it felt as if something else was there with me. Of course, I wasn't alone, I was with the rest for the team, but I had the sense that it was something unwelcome that was there with me. I realized I wasn't the only one feeling this way and so I asked Johanna and Jacobo to go see in the back just in case, since they didn't seem as bothered as the rest. Of course, nothing, just a variety of scarp around us, the team proceeded to film. The team decided to name Jacobo the pursuer, so in the last scene where I would be running away, it would be from him.

As I would be running away on top of all the sand, I wanted to practice to make it a realistic as possible, but while I was doing this, I feel on on some metal and cut my hand. I'm fine now, but I didn't wan to alert anyone. I gave Jacobo the liberty to do he pleased to fit into the murderers role, and he thought it would be perfect to whistle while trying to chase me. I saw try, because he was not even trying to run, he was walking. 

Around the final sequence, I had fallen on some machinery trying to escape and since my flight or flight instincts had been lost all I could do was plead for mercy, that which I did not receive. It was entertaining to see my friends all get frightened by my bloody murder scream. During that scene though, the team heard some type of vehicle approach the building, they thought they were others trying to get into the building. While they were still trying to find out what was their deal I was out, I went into one of the closets and the team was smart enough to follow. The team stayed there until the coast was clear, turned out the group of people were just another teens around golf cart. That however was our last straw and we decided to film the last shot and get out. 

I said I was hungry, and so as comedic as possible, the team all decided to go to some nearby place to get some food. Before we left the premise, I decided to look back one last time, and say goodbye to whatever had been there with us. Turns out later that I really wasn't the only one left on edge and those very people who I thought weren't bothered, were the most intimidated.

So, moving into the characters that would be in the film. The group was chosen based on availability, most of them, well all, being my friends. A recurring helper, my best friend Johanna, my friend Jacobo, and someone I met recently, Sophia. There were more people but they didn't have time or something came up. From the team, only Benjamin and I showed up.  The team decided to record in late January so it was a tad cold but Everyone wanted to fit into the timeline so most of the team members were co-opperative dress attire-wise. I made sure everyone brought the necessary items given that the place was dark, so flashlights were required. It took a while for the recording team to all show up, but once attendance was met, I set up most things to get ready to shoot. The first step was to clear the area and make a map of the areas we would visit throughout the recording. The team decided on a few areas, the first being the storage room with the skates previously mentioned. The group dec...

 Hey guys welcome back quick update, a lot of things changed. Well a lot was forced to, due to our extenuating circumstances and the production of this is music video. Let me explain, to make things simple, the video won’t be going on script with the storyboard. I put my party and even though I had just gotten out of competition, and hadn’t eaten, I put my part in and brought my best friend in order to complete the ideal goal. However, a lot of problems arose, some being mine and others not so much.  One of the problems that I had was in fact, competition, I was not aware of how late the final round would last and my group meme era had to film the lonely part by them selves, Ayannah and Benjamin. I ended up finally being free at around 3:30 pm, and had to run and pick up my best friend in order to even make it to see the team. There was in fact some negative feels towards me but I couldn’t control it and I changed the schedule and filming period in order to make time for every...
