Some of  my    thoughts

    Hey guys, welcome back! I have a little update today. I am so glad that we have catch up with each other so far. I had spoiled most of the plots up until this point. The process of brainstorming and planning was quite challenge for us. 

    Even though everything was carefully planned, things still came up on our way. For instance, our first change started when the "Spiderwomen" doesn't think that she is the best suit for the main character and the "Real life Barbie" should take over the role instead. That also leads to the change of location because we figured that Real life Barbie's house has better natural light source and much more familiar to most of us. Through this project, I felt like we did a great job in communicating. Agreement is tough sometimes and counter idea comes up pretty often. However, we were able to pull it off and work our way through the Storyboarding. Deep down, I was really proud of our Storyboarding because without it, most of us will be out of track when filming day comes. It was true. We had to pull up our storyboarding and goes step by step on the filming day. It was fairly easy and went very well for us. 

    Originally, we were going to include some flashback scenes where Gigi and her mother enjoyed the birthday together to give the audience a clue on the absent of her mom. The black and white family picture will also hint something was missing and the lost of her mom. Nevertheless, we decided took the scenes out because of the time limit. Yet, we are still considering even after filming, I personally feels like the scenes are necessarily and it tells more about the character's catastrophe. Therefore, we came to an agreement of adding in some scenes that cast Gigi's mind back to the memories and how emotional she felt when she set herself to the reality. So... there will be the second day of filming!!! I'm thrill than ever to polish our final out come.
