Hey blog!
This project is almost coming to a close! I have filmed almost all of my project and am really happy with how it's coming out so far. There are some shots that I have to redo, mostly because I wasn't happy with the angles or lighting, but that's okay. Although most of my filming so far has gone pretty smoothly, I have run into some problems. I am planning on refilming a lot of my clips to make them better. Because this project is worth so much of my grade, I want to make it as good as I possibly can and be the happiest, most satisfied, and proudest of the results that I get.
Problems with phone stand - DIY tripod

| DIY tripod |
At first, I had a problem with filming some angles of the bathroom scene because I had no one to film for me. I tried to set up my phone on my counter, but I didn't like the angles it gave me, so I made a makeshift phone stand. I stacked up some boxes and a ladder to make a phone stand. At first, I was happier with the results from it, but during post-production, I looked more at the clips, and honestly, I'm not very happy with the results.

| Octobuddy |
After my DIY tripod fail, I got to thinking. What if I used an angle that looked like I was looking into the mirror? To make that possible, I looked for my old phone, which had an OctoBuddy on the phone case. An octobuddy is a silicone phone accessory that attaches to the back of a phone and allows it to stick to smooth surfaces like smooth tiles, windows, and MIRRORS. So I put the Octobuddy on my phone case and stuck it to the mirror. When I got my old phone, I realized I could also use it as a prop if I needed a phone but was using mine to film, and I used it.
1 angle or 3?
When filming the date montage, I recorded multiple angles so I could have a wider variety to work with while editing. During post-production, I had cut the clips of each angle and put them all together. I noticed that I liked how it looked more when changing angles than having cuts from each clip of just one angle. I have enough footage from each angle to be able to incorporate all three of them into the montage. Once I finish editing everything and see how it looks, I'll see if I want to refilm anything for this scene, but currently I think for this part I will not be refilming the clips.
