Hey bloggg, its Friday!!! After a long week of working on our production everything has fallen into place. However we did come across a few struggles that shook the way we managed our times. Todays blog will be focused on those little moments that didn't feel so little and how we were able to look past them and keep going.

Problem 1: We originally had planned for our first day to film to be on Sunday, but that ended up being changed. Due to one of my group members Emma being grounded and Arianna whos playing our main character being called urgently to work we had to change the dates. Although this might seem like it has a simple solution, it didn't feel like it. I say this because we had our days aligned to match up to our production day 2 which we will go into that later. We all called and planned our day, we then left it on leaving it for the next day, Sunday 12:00pm at my house. Once the time came, due to unexpected family emergencies, we weren't able to film at that time. This is when it truly felt as if nothing was going our way. Although we were going to be cut short with Emma being grounded, we changed the time to be at 7:00pm. After much discussion and planning we were able to get the job done and have everything work out. Oona and Arianna both showed up on time with everything prepared making our process a lot quicker.

Problem 2: For a great part of our film opening, we needed to film in a gymnastics gym with a gymnast that was available and has the skills to play the part. Due to Arianna and Oona both working in TAG USA, this made the search a lot quicker. They were able to find an actress almost immediately which was a big relief. However she was a college student that lived relatively far. However she confirmed she would be able to make room to give us a hand, the only exception  was we needed to let her know with time since the trip down here wasn't the shortest. A few days before filming she was truly sorry to let us knows she wouldn't be able to make it. This was a huge problem since none of us know how to do more than a cartwheel. After much searching we found a replacement. We were extremely grateful since we were in desperate need of someone to play the part. Except this replacement did not look anything like what we had planned for the following scenes and Giannas character as a whole. This led to us deciding to switch our character, Gianna, around by making her have Latin heritance due to the gymnasts' dark features. Arianna volunteered to due the scenes outside the gym since they have similar skin tones and hair colors. After days of rearranging and searching we were able to sort everything out.

Problem 3: As previously stated, a great part of our project needs to be filmed in a gymnastics gym which we chose TAG USA. Oona was able to speak to her manager and get permission to film. He gave us a time and a date which was Saturday at 6:30pm since that's when open gym was. We all agreed that we would arrange our days to make room to film. However when the day came it all ended up being very complicated due to previous plans we all had. We truly did try and figure it out for the whole day b but when it came down it was genuinely not possible since we were all busy and I was all the way in Fort Lauderdale. We then took a look of the blogs for the week since the next possible day to film was going to be the following weekend which was fine since we were ahead but would be a problem if something went wrong the day of. We thought it through and thought it would be the best option for the film to come out well made and not be rushing to just get it done. That was when Arianna asked her manager to ,move it to the next Saturday and we dropped with the news he wouldn't be there and we weren't allowed to be there filming without anyone's supervision. Oona then stepped in since we didn't have any other options then to film that weekend. We were already coming up with worst case scenarios, it came down to the point of replacing the gymnastics gym for a garage which would have affected our day 1 filming since the first few scenes are her coming back from a long day the gym. Thankfully Oona and Arianna were both able to figure something out with their manager and he gave jus the clear to go on Friday at 7:00pm during the teams practice, this just meant some equipment would be limited which was perfectly fine with us. Currently, we have already filmed and its safe to say everything went perfectly fine.
