Setbacks In Filming the Final Task

     Although we were supposed to start filming on the days of 3/3/2021 and 3/4/2021, we were unable to begin this process. There were a few complications in scheduling that occurred and, as a result, we were unable to film. The first would be that these two days are school days. Ordinarily, this would not be a problem, as my group would have been able to work something out and schedule our time so that we could all meet. However, school takes up a large portion of the day on school days, leaving about 6 hours of free time after school (not including the time it takes to shower, eat dinner, etc.). On 3/3/2021, I also had to study for a chemistry quiz which was a large reason why we couldn't film. In addition, Jessica, my other groupmate, had volleyball practice at 5:30 both days so we wouldn't have had much time to film even if I did not have to study for chemistry. 

    However, throughout this time I have begun preparing for the filming of our final task. Since I will be acting as the girl within the opening sequence, I will have a few lines of dialogue. I have already started preparing the lines and am feeling more confident by the second. I also have picked out the outfit for her. I already had an idea of what she would wear, but wasn't confident on what it would be. Now, I have picked out the exact outfit which will be a burgundy t-shirt, low rise converse, and dark wash jeans. We didn't want the outfit to be very extravagant and take away from the scenes being shown, so I decided on a simple and plain outfit, as shown below. This outfit is also pretty dark in colors, so I thought that it might apply to the dark coloring of the thriller genre.

This character is also going to be coming home from school so that her walking outside will make more sense and be more realistic. In order to convey this to the audience, she will be wearing a backpack. I have settled on the backpack that she will be wearing: a black backpack with a plaid pattern. I am not sure if we still have this backpack, as I have tried looking for it but am not sure exactly where it is, but if we don't have it, I will be wearing a dark purple backpack with grey detailing. This backpack, like the previous backpack and the clothes I will wear, will fit with the dark conventions of the thriller genre.
