      Filming is coming along, but a bit slower than expected. As I've mentioned in the past, filming CRT monitors isn't easy due to my phone camera's shutter speed and the CRT's refresh rate. When I film the monitors, my recording flickers and doesn't look good at all. I have to do many takes and hope that it won't flicker. I've also had issues with background noise. When I get a chance to film, my neighbors are usually making some noise outside that can be heard in my recordings. I have to wait quite a while for the noise to stop enough for me to film the scene.      I've already filmed the first scene last night. It was hard to set my phone up so I could get a top-down view of the tape recorder on the table, but I managed. I think the speech I recorded onto the tape is too long so I may have to edit new audio over the scene later. I have filmed about half of the scenes, and should be able to finish soon and begin editing it together.

    Over winter break, I've completed my room and have gathered all props and set them into place. My father and I have built and painted the new shelf and removed the old ones. I have the woodgrain table in my room now as my desk. I have an incandescent lamp above the filming area to provide a more yellow light. I've made sure to make the area period correct so no modern objects are visible. I've begin to film some test takes, making sure some of my ideas will work together. However, many of the ideas I had will not work due to the 2 minute limit. It will have to be more fast paced than what I was expecting. Music will be the last major part of the production, as I need to put together the film first and create the music around it.
