 I still have not started filming. It is due to the same reason as last time. I still have no actors. I am trying to figure out a backup plan. If anything I will just use my mom. If I cant find actors, I don't know what i will do. I will need to rewrite the entire film. I hope it does not come to that. I think at that point, ill have at least 2 actors. I have the process planned out.. This problem has allowed me to really firm down on the details. So, while yes there is a problem, it's also been a bit beneficial. At least there is that. Hopefully, I can start filming by the end of this week. I also have run into one other problem. I don't know which music to use. I want to avoid having to ask for permission. This is mainly because I don't wish to wait on a response. This is why I'm hoping to find a royalty-free song. All this time without actors gives me a chance to figure it out.

 So at this point, I'm 100% sure of my song choice. I know I'm not the only one by Sam Smith is my final decision, no changing it now. As my storyboard shows, I'm not the best artist. In this blog, I will take the time to detail each of the 12 squares. Each of the scenes is only in 2 locations, so I can't foresee a problem with filming. I now have actors in place, but for now, they will be referred to as actor 1 and actor 2.  square 1: Actor one lies awake as actor 2 leaves early in the morning.  square 2: The scene cuts to actor one at the beach contemplating sadly, as she reflects on her relationship. square 3: Actor one stares out of the window solemnly in the kitchen as actor 2 comes up behind her with flowers.  square 4: Actor 1 notices a message on actor 2's phone confirming her suspicions. square 5: actor 1 lies awake another night, as actor 2 sleeps peacefully. square 6: The scene cuts back to actor one sitting on the beach reflecting, and then suddenly she

 Throughout the filming of my commercial, I ran into a multitude of problems that put me behind schedule. The weather was bad, which I had planned for, but I still wanted to keep the main concept of my commercial. In order to do this, I had to push the filming date back until the weather was more suitable. To begin the filming process, I took the shots I could do from home. The backyard shot, as well as the slow-motion scene showcasing the water, was done first. I shot each scene on my iPhone. The next step, was the beach scene as it was the furthest away so I wanted to get it done. The process was short, as I only did three takes, incorporating a selection of angles for me to chose from. The next scene I shot at was the park. I found a small park next to my house filled with natural light. I felt this was the perfect place to make my shot look like in incorporated nature. Once again, it was a short and simple process. I did about 5 takes here, so I would have options for my final cut.

 Hello! My name is Madison Riggs. I am an 11th-grade student and I currently attend Fort Lauderdale Highschool. I am 16, turning 17 in November, and that's something I'm quite looking forward to. I participate in the Marching Band as well as Symphonic Winds. I have played the flute since the third grade. I also play piccolo and a bit of piano, and I enjoy using my time making music. I would consider band my number one hobby but along with that, I have 2 dogs I love spending time with. After a long day of school and homework, coming home to two cute dogs excited to see you is a warm feeling. Speaking of home, I live with my mom along with those two cute dogs. I am my mom's only child, so it's just us. Being an only child can get a little boring, so I try to spend as much time with family as I can when I'm not busy at work or school. I currently work at Black Rock Fort Lauderdale, where I am a host. Between keeping up my grades, band, and work, I find myself with no f
