1st Day of Filming

Today was our first day of filming. Our original plan was to get one of our group mates bus because her house the closets to Walmart. When she reminded her mom that she was filming at Walmart her mom did not want her to go because of activities going on in the area. We changed our filming location to Aldi instead which is also a grocery store. I honestly thought that we weren’t going to be able to film today. I feel like every assignment we have there is always something that stops us from staying on schedule. The next problem we had was trying to get on the bus. In order to get a bus pass we have to have signed parent notes and a get a pass from our school bus administrator. We were unaware of this going to go get a bus pass so after getting a pass from our media teachers to go speak to our administration we couldn’t get a pass. I decided I’ll just get on my regular bus and meet them at Aldi. The end of the day comes and we decided to just ask the bus driver if she lets us on the bus without a pass and at first she says no but then agrees when she learns it’s a grade for class. It also helped that I add that my whole future depends on this class. We get to Aldi and filming was relatively easy. The only real problem we had was customers stopping in the middle of our shot and waving and smiling at the camera. Honestly I was not really annoyed by them because I knew they meant well. We were able to get about half of filming done today. Hopefully we are able to get everything done on Thursday.
