Beginning the Filming Process

     To begin the filming process, we decided to meet at our partner Mariapaula's house on February 17, 2020. This was because there was no school that day since it was President's Day, which is a national holiday. I was playing the role of a kidnapper getting ready in the morning. I wore a black sweater with light blue jeans and black shoes. My "pajamas" for when I woke up in the morning was a striped navy blue and white long sleeve shirt and red pajamas. I also brought a bath robe from my home for Mariapaula to use in one of her scenes where she gets out of the shower. We also used my personal SD card to store the footage, so I brought that as well. However we forgot to check out a camera from our teacher beforehand. So we asked our friend Macy, who was coming with us, to bring her camera.

     I arrived at Mariapaula’s house at around 12:45 PM. I took out all my clothes and utilities and set them out and ready to use. We waited for our other group mates, Rafi and Emily, as well as Macy. Macy arrived at around 1:30 PM, about 20 minutes after Rafi and Emily. When she arrived we were then able to begin filming. First we filmed the scene of Mariapaula changing. Next we shot my scene, where I was also changing and getting ready. They placed the camera in the closet in front of me and I had to open the closet and grab clothes and walk away. We then shot in the same room the scene of me shaving, using a fake razor and fake blood, and Mariapaula’s shaving cream. I had to wince to pretend to be hurt from the razor. Lastly, we shot the scene of me grabbing the items being used to “kidnap” Mariapauala’s character, putting it in the trunk, closing the trunk, getting in the car, and driving away. I was wearing  my black sweater, blue jeans, and black pants outfit for all these scenes except the one of me getting ready.
