AICE Media Studies

  The project was kinda fun to do. It gave me some nice quality time with my mom. I hope you enjoy it.

 Unfortunately my aunt's pool is still a wreak and polluted and therefore out of the question. It was also a no go when my cousin told me she couldn't participate. I shot the rest of the parts that i could with my mom and i thought it was fun. The first scene i did i was able to be the dramatic person that i am. When i said cut my mom looked at me like i was a crazy person. I just laughed at the face she was making and she rolled her eyes. The next scene was with her and i told her it would be a part where it looks like we are exchanging words. It was the longest conversation that we had for the whole film. I asked her to channel an upset and disappointed parental figure. She was like i'll do my best and i reiterated that she does it all the time so it shouldn't be too hard for her. She asked me what she needed to say and i gave her some lines that i came up with at the top of my head. She looked taken aback when i told her and she said that it was kinda harsh. I explai

 I called my cousin to see if she was available to film however she was not able to. It made me kinda sad since we haven't spent a lot of quality time together in a while. I think i will once the stress that is school calms down. Her sister's bday is coming up soon and unlike last time i have money to spend on her. So i'm sure i'll be paying Walmart a visit so that i can spoil her. The last time my mom went gift shopping for her and got her a book and a blanket. I kid you not. She stated that everyone else would be getting her toys so she chose to but a book. If she wants lame aunt status then thats all her but i won't be grouped in with her this year. We filmed another part of my storyboard. When i realized the part that i was gonna film required that item from my aunt to mix stuff together, i wanted to improvise by using out blender. My mom did not approve. She stated that she didn't want me mixing up random stuff in her blender. Except she didn't use the

 I was able to do filming with my mom and I was kinda shocked at how into it she was. She was complaining that she wasn't sure if it would be good for her to be in it. I reassured her that she would be fine. When I explained the first scene to her she was adamant in changing from her old house robe into something else. What she came back out in sent me into orbit. It was a silk, leopard print robe that I had never seen in my 15 years in this house. We took a 2 minute laughing break and she explained that she had it along with the matching bonnet for the longest time. We started shooting the first scene and i was directing her on what i needed her to do. She was kinda awkward but she got it out of her system when it was her turn to hold the camera and my turn to act. My grandma was there watching us film while reading a magazine but she left when i asked her to move because she was in the way. I didn't say it like that but i still felt kind of bad. We got done filming the first

 I called my aunt to ask if I could borrow her pool for this project and i got some bad news in return. Appearantly a car drove into the front/side of her house and caused major damage. Thank God, she and my uncle got out unscathed. However the pools filter broke and the water is a terrible green according to her. That would make for a cool scene where they could be at an abandoned house with an old pool or something. Thing is there is no way in hell i would willingly get into the filthy pool. Next thing I know i end up with some infection in my ear or somewhere else. Not happening. Over my dead body would i dip a toe into the pool water. Not a lot of people realize this but i am absolutly disgusted by nasty things. And people think just because of my hard personality that i'm not. I don't know where this comes from but it's to the point where i get physically sickened. Like i get grossed out by things just like other people. Anyway I made sure that my aunt was okay over th

 I wish that I could film while I was in school however its the equivalent to me being home alone in this particular scenario. My brother has to work. My grandma goes to work too then she goes to visit a friend. But even if she was here she isn't too tech savy and the camera would undoubtably shake. My grandpa is also here however he has asked me how to turn up the brightness on his phone so i know it would reach an even worse conclusion than my grandma. This weekend is the only one whee i can film with my cousin if she is even still up to it. If by chance she can't do it I've planned to take her spot too. And in the scenes where we would be together, I can do kind of like an eyeline match so it seems that we are together even though it's just me. I have created the letter that the two characters are to receive from the Academy. Thankfully I got to the printer before my dad. He has a tendency to use the machine in intervals. Those said intervals come with a lot of thing
