Production blog: Gloom's day

 Today my partner and i went to the park. Her mother pick me up and headed to the park. We were dropped off with our needed materials. At first i pointed out how windy the weather is today. But at the time we could still film. We decided to start the scenes. I started off with the headphones on and wore exercise attire. I started to jog, we remade the scenes when we needed to. For example, we refilmed the scenes with dialogue but we realized the wind was too loud for us to have a recording of the script. So we continued to the next scene, scheduling that scene for later on. We walked around the park going on place to another. We tried to find the right place to film I considered the lighting and the area the other scenes could possibly take place. We found about two spots which we had to reshoot some scenes. Though walkers and people going about their daily activities in the park interrupted our filming. I tried my best to not let them distract us. While we were looking at the videos we recorded the weather suddenly got cold, I looked up to see big dark grey cloudy sky. I mentioned to Naturelle that we should call her mother. Her mother states that we should head to her grandma's house near by. Lately did we know what was to come. As we were waling the rain suddenly started to come down hard. We ran hoping to porches waiting until moments past until the rain stop to walk again. By the time we reach the house we were soaked. Naturelle's grandma greeted us handing us a towel. We waited till Naturelle's mom arrived. When she did they bought their dog. I have cynophobia! I sat on the edge of my seat in fear. But in the end i learnt to tolerate Jack, my new dog friend. All in all the funniest experience I had in a while.
