Time to actually film

 As I was sitting in my room doing my make-up for the film, I started rehearsing my lines. Violet and I were the two actors in the film, and we previously rehearsed our lines in school. Still, I wanted to be very prepared. I had about 15 lines, but they weren't hard lines to memorize. They were mostly short responses and actions. I rehearsed in the mirror and got into character. Both Violet and I had previous acting experience, we both did theatre and I go to acting classes. So, making a short film like this got me very excited. As I was getting ready, I got a notification on my phone. I had music playing in my room, so I didn't hear it. After a minute or two, I heard a knock at my front door, and I immediately knew my partners were here. It was finally time to film. I rushed down stairs and they showed all the props they had just bought from Target. We needed three props, which was a jump-rope, a slice of cake, and a comically large spoon. Unfortunately, they couldn't find a large spoon at the store, so we had to scratch that part out of the film. When everyone was prepared, we started filming right away. I had very few to no issues when filming with my group. There were some little problems, like my dog getting in the way, but these problems were easily resolved. Dara and Mila, for instance, would alternate holding the dog while the other took the video. Unfortunately, due to a scheduling error, we had to stop filming before the Cambridge awards night. Previously, Dara, Violet, and Mila believed that the event started at 6:30 p.m. But it soon became clear that event began at 6:00 pm, and if we didn't leave right away, everyone would be late. While Violet, Dara, and Mila hurried to leave and make it to the award night, my group and I made the decision to continue filming the next day to finish the few parts we had left.
