Planning: Location, participants, health and schedule
For this google slide, we had to discuss a lot as a group. The first thing we talked about was the location. We tried to pick locations that were convenient. Also, as a team, we all had to decide what we were each going to do. Whether it was filming, acting, or driving. Health and safety-wise, we had to take into consideration a lot of things. It was mostly about the surroundings. The last thing we had to agree on was the schedule. It was simply because we easily established that we wanted to be time-efficient. My group works very well together.

Planning Blog (sound Script)
The sound is very important in this production. For sounds I would need to record keyboard typing and things like that. We want to use music from Good time, as it has the aesthetic I want. Things like the sound of cars and a city are important as well. As for the dialogue, we need to have good acting and delivery to make the writing really effective. I was mainly focused on sounds that were possible for us to get. We need to have a god use of diegetic sound, as well as non-diegetic.
Planning blog (shooting script)
for the shooting script, it was a tough process. We didn't have an exact idea on what would happen in the story. We mostly made it up as we went along. with time constraints, things were getting stressful. Luckily we were able to get a story ready. I wrote with the thought of what was possible for us to shoot. Some things were difficult to portray in writing. Hopefully They'll be easier to put into action. But for now I'm happy with what we have. And that's very important.
