Final Day of Filming

 HELLLOOOO MY READERRRSSS!!!!! Today, I would like to let you in on the final day of our filming and how it was like! Get cozy and comfy!

So for our final day of filming, we still had to get footage of Vale walking off to her school and some filler scenes to get to our time limit. So around 1-2, Leah and I arrived at Mariana's house while we waited for Nahomy as she was volunteering that day. During this time, Mariana had to scramble to make a new sweater for the University of Miami as we forgot to film at the school she originally chose. Around the same time that Mari had finished making her sweater, Nahomy arrived and we were ready to leave for UM, which was about a 45 minute drive from Mari's house. We were all about ready to leave until we realized one thing... we had no ride... SO I HAD TO SCRAMBLE TO CALL JASON TO DRIVE US. I had felt a teensy bit bad for continuously hassling Jason to drive us around, especially since it was his day off, so the night before I told him that we would be fine and we didn't need him to drive us (which was a complete lie) I called Jason and he said he was busy but that his ETA would be 30 minutes to Mari's house. After Jason had arrived, we immediately got ready for the ride to UM. At UM, we got shots all over the school (static shots, panning shots, Vale's establishing shot), unfortunately, on the college trip, we were unable to film a lot, so we needed to get as much footage as possible from this university. 

After we finished filming at the university, we began our descent home to film the last few scenes. We knew that we wanted to film a scene of all the girls in their college hoodies, getting ready to say goodbye. Filming this scene was fairly easy, we had asked Mari's mom to be the person "taking a picture" of the girls while they flaunt their school's hoodie. However, there was a problem in getting the camera to focus as it was difficult to focus on the phone. We needed to rerecord this scene about 5 times before we got it right. After this scene, we wanted to have a match cut of the same setting to a flashback of the girls playing Just Dance together. This scene was easy to film as we kept the camera in the exact same position, and we just started up some dances. The only problem with this was that it got really hot, really quick, so we had to work fast before we all died of a heat stroke. After this filming, it was well over 10:00 and we decided to start editing our project. UNTIL A HUGE PROBLEM STRUCK US! We realized that the iPad that all of our hard work had been done on was gone! Well, not gone but it was a 4 hour plane ride away in Colombia. So we realized we were absolutely screwed. We attempted to log into the CapCut account we had done our work on, but none of it had shown up on the site. OHHH SHOOOTTTT! We decided not to panic but to try the next best solution, trying to edit on our laptops, about 15 minutes into attempting this, we realized that we NEEDED an iPad to work on. I recalled my grandma having an iPad, so I told the girls that we should just all go home and try to edit tomorrow on my grandma's iPad instead of our laptops.
