Our production process will start March 15th. We will be filming at Macys house, since she has a nice space to work efficiently, and she holds most of the important equipment. If any group member is sick on the planned filming days we will either find an alternative date where we can all meet together once everyone is healthy, or the group members who aren’t sick will get together and complete what they can without the sick group member. If it so happens that weather is bad, and it interferes with our production process, we can alter scenes to make them work with a created setting inside. We will problem solve by making a fake layout of the outside if needed. Alternatively, we can wait out the weather or pick another day where the weather is nice. In order to avoid this issue as much as possible, we will be checking the weather predictions before picking a date to film and plan accordingly.
