We Overcame The Obstacle And Recorded

As mentioned before, our group was at a temporary halt for meeting up with each other due to the outbreak that occurred. However, we found a library that was open and met up with each other. Our group's plans paused temporarily until one of our group members, Rejoice, found a library that was not only open but as well had a study room where we could record freely. Our group met up with each other on Tuesday, March 17th at Sistrunk Boulevard within the African American Research Library. Our group was able to rent a study room in order to record first the CCR and then the last remaining scenes of our movie. First, our group recorded the CCR which was supposed to stand between twelve to fifteen minutes long. Rejoice, one of the group members, recorded the whole segment while me and Melshida answered the questions in length. The whole CCR was orchestrated in an interview style where my sister asked me and the group members the questions that goes with the CCR. The video recorded for the CCR had to be done twice since there were moments where we were sidetracked and had to redo it to make it seem like it was a serious interview session. Right after our group finished recording the CCR we began to film the last remaining scenes of our movie.

To start off, the very first scene our group recorded was the part where it shows two phones on the table and one of the devices receives a message from the kidnappers. This particular scene had to be done twice since Rejoice recorded the scene sideways with her phone and everyone later agreed that the scene should have been recorded with the phone straight up. Afterwards came the scene where my character, Brooklyn, runs inside the study room to warn the other friends about the kidnappers and their missing friend. This particular scene was recorded twice since everyone was caught off guard during the first take. Next was the scene where one of the friends was researching where their missing friend could be. This particular scene was supposed to fulfill our missing eye match and low angle. For the last few scenes we did not use as much props as we did for the first filming session. The only props we used for the last few scenes were the books provided within the library and our cellphones for the shot with our phones in it. As for the costumes/attire, I wore the same exact sweatpants I wore for the first filming session and I brought with me the matching sweater. In the end, our plans were temporarily at a halt but we were able to find a public library that was open and record the very few scenes we needed along with the CCR to accommodate.
