 On November 11th, I filmed my commercial in its entirety. I planed on filming my commercial on Saturday; however,  my actor wasn't available so we rescheduled. As the director, I provided the camera and props. My actor used their own wardrobe in each scene. The actor and I already previously owned the Contigo bottle; therefore, we used our own. The work scene worked perfectly as it was in a controlled environment. In the work scene, my actor wore clothes representative of those worn in work environments. The exercise scene proved to be the most difficult due to the uncontrolled extraneous variable's of the environment. The wind caused unwanted noise along with the sun troubling the cameras exposure. The actor worn self owned clothes representative of physical activity. This scene took about 20 minutes in total to shoot. The home scene was the easiest in my opinion. It was a quick shoot that would be explained through voice over editing. The kitchen scene, proved to be difficu...

 Over these last few days, I've been physically scouting out my different film locations. On Saturday, I went to the Miramar reginal park to see exactly what I need. While driving in, I found out that the playground side of the park closes at 7:30 p.m. Which allowed me to make a mental note that any scenes that need a playground would have to be filmed before that time. I also found out that the restrooms are closed due to Covid at the park. This means that I had to change my wardrobe, hair and makeup plans. I initially planned on having my actors arrive to the park then dress them appropriately in the bathrooms. I was then going to do their hair and make up in the car or under the pavilion. I will now instruct my actors to arrive at my house and we will to wardrobe there. Due to the new plan, I also had to implement new guidelines as far as health restrictions. Upon my actors arrival at my house, I will give them a questionnaire that they must fill out to get in. The questionnaire...

 My thermometer finally arrived!!! I instructed my sister to come over so I could film the first scene. When she arrived I told her to stay in her car and wait for me to come out. I came out with the covid questionnaire and a pen. I had my mask on and handed her the paper. I waited for her fill out the form completely. I told her to wait in the car while I went back in the house to evaluate her answers. She passed the questionnaire with flying colors. I then proceeded to take her temperature with the thermometer I brought off of amazon. Her temperature was 97.8 which is normal. Thankfully she passed all the covid precautions and was finally able to start filming.  I started my filming process with my smallest scene. This scene includes me an my sister in our living room. This is a over the shoulder shot scene with my mother behind the camera. It start out focus on the tv that displays a documentary coming to an end. We then engage in dialogue centered around sex trafficking mo...
