Difficultly Filming During the Holidays

Most of the actors met at Tekla's house to film a couple of days ago. The process was a little uneasy because it is difficult to keep everyone focused. However, we persevered and managed to complete the filming process for those scenes. The cast and actors that were present were Tekla, Dominic, Blake, Julia, Jake, and myself. Everyone later went home. 

However, since it is winter break and the holiday season, it was difficult to film. This is because actors have families in different cities, states, or even countries. In addition to this, some actors traveled for leisure purposes with their families. Because of this, it was difficult to schedule a time to film. For instance, Julia went out of town, so we won't be able to re-film until she comes back. 

Once we completed the scenes with everyone else, Tekla, Dominic, and I started to plan when we would film the other scenes. Factors like weather and time had to be considered. In the script, the description of the location is a neighborhood on a sunny day. Therefore, we cannot film when it is about to rain. In addition to this, the script displays times in which actions are taking place. In order to obtain the correct daylight patterns, we have to film around the same time. It wouldn't make sense if one scene was supposed to be at noon and we filmed it at 4:00. The sun would be in a completely different spot, therefore lowering the quality of our film. However, Tekla, Dominic, and I have selected a date to film. We will be using Tekla's dad Mats as well.
