Filming Complications Resolved

So far, I've been shot in about two and a half scenes out of a total of eight with my group. In one scene I was the protagonist and in the other one Lili was. As the story is based around me in the beginning I am in most scenes so I do not have to film as much this time around. I'm still probably going to have to film the cafe scenes and the beginning of the shopping scenes. Because my group and I have very busy lives, I had to make a schedule and organize everything for our group to film this week. To create this schedule, I took into account our free days. Since I am only available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and every other Friday and Sunday it's kind of difficult for us to film. Most of the group is more available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. So I asked my group to film this Sunday afternoon (which they could not) , Monday, and Wednesday night to get 3 total scenes. So we canceled Sunday and decided to film on Monday and Wednesday. So to prepare for today (Wednesday) I packed a backpack full of costumes, the storyboard, my sneakers, and stalker sunglasses. Today was also the day that all juniors took the SAT so I was pretty drained after school and by the time I was ready to leave school at 2:40 pm. My mother then drove me to Lili's house. Since I am the story's main character I had to be sure I remembered the script and studied the storyboard. I arrived at Lili's house at 3:00 pm, Angie and Aleiah were waiting for me to start filming the second scene. I got ready to film in Lili's room and began acting in her kitchen (pictured below). I was glad I did not forget the manila folders at home as they were the props necessary for this film. To film the solo "Chloe" scenes I kept referring to the storyboard during filming. After a while, I had grown so hungry had to get some snacks and refreshments so I asked Lili if she could get me a snack and water. She brought me a granola bar and water, and I was so grateful. Lili's parents checked in very frequently to ensure I and everyone else was okay. I felt very welcome and secure in their home. In the end, I calculated that a total of three additional scenes were filmed and I left in the late evening.
