Filming 1: Influenza Got The Best of Us!

This weekend my group and I planned to film. Seeing as we had a three day weekend thanks to Presidents Day, it was the perfect opportunity. When we discussed on Saturday about which day we would meet to film the first few scenes, we got bad news from our group member Derek. He expressed to Jada and I that he had waken up feeling terrible. He felt very sick. We suggested he go to the doctor to see if everything was okay. He did so and found out that he had cane down with the flu. So, we were unfortunately not able to film because of this reason. Derek is our main actor, and with him feeling terrible because of the flu we just could not expect him to be up to filming multiple takes under that feeling.

The next day, on Sunday, I woke up feeling terrible also. I was in bed all day with the flu. Even if Derek has started feeling better, I was now sick and not able to film. So, it seemed as though everything had worked out. Two people out of our group had come down with the flu causing us to not be able to film. Because this happened, we knew we had to discuss a day we would come together to film. We went in the group chat to discuss what we would do since we were not able to film this past weekend. We decided that this Friday, tomorrow, after school is when we will film the first half. It works best for everyone’s schedule. This also includes the other actors who will be in it. After school, we will go with one of our group members to her house. That will be the location of the first half of our scenes. Derek along with the other actors will be acting, and Jada and I will be directing and dealing with the set. We hope that nothing occurs that will disable us to film. Time is speeding up and we must get this done. We will by all means!
