After some practice and a few shots yesterday with my mom, we had another filming day today. We, again, had to refilm some shots with our new Queenie. Anya became the mystery man in the gambling ring. She brought her own costume and I did her makeup, making her look as rich as possible. We made some quick mood boards for the costume and makeup of the characters, making sure we were all together for the ideas we were trying to portray with that character. My mom and I wore the same things like our last filming day, with Angel staying mostly behind the camera. I have really learned that I enjoy planning, storyboarding, and the idea behind a short film, but when it came to getting behind the camera, I felt awkward and completely out of my element. In front of the camera, however, was incredibly fun. With no school today, the three of us got together at my house. We started around 4pm, where we went over and planned out what we were going to film. We also revised our accompanying website, postcard, and social media. We made a pros and cons list of each one, trying to figure out what we really liked and what needed to be changed. Once the sunset, around 6pm, we got to work. The main thing we wanted to get done was the scenes with Anya and my mom. The only issue with that was that our other bodyguard, Angel's friend, was unable to make it to this filming session. We decided to keep just Anya approaching Queenie before an implied kill of Queenie, mostly because it made the scene feel emptier and almost scarier. We got our last scenes of Jackie outside as well. It was hard because the audio from outside was really windy and hard to hear. Overall, it was a really productive filming day. We hope to keep going strong and make sure everything is in order.

Sound: In the dialogue, there is no difference in how the mother and daughter speak to each other, speaking more like friends than mother and daughter. However, when the party starts, the mom begins interjecting herself into the daughter's conversations, teaching her how to take a jello shot and encouraging her to come into the pool. The added sound contributes to the setting, with dance music that helps bring the idea of it being a party altogether. This is made apparent when there is no dialogue and the daughter is just dancing, where all that can be heard is the music she's dancing to. There is no dialogue that needs to be understood or listened to, more so the viewer can focus on the daughter's awkward movements and how she feels in that moment.
