Shooting Day 2: Finding Actors/Running Lines/Actor Change

    Despite acting within our movie is not something we are graded upon, we found that quality acting was an essential part of our film's quality. As such, I began looking for friends to act in our film as we wanted someone other than Jorge, and Mariana and Anthony were unavailable. Unfortunately, none of the couples which I asked to be part of our film were available. We then resorted to using Jorge again and Gabby's friend Chris again.

    Though this is not an ideal situation we made do and took our peer's suggestions about running lines. This would allow us to not only gauge who amongst the two of them is the better actor but also to acclimate them with their lines. However, as Chris continued to run lines it became apparent to all of us - including Chris - that acting was not his strong suit. Unfortunately, Jorge was not feeling well either. With all that being said, I volunteered to play the boyfriend for our film. Jorge promptly went home and I began practicing my lines.

As Gabby and Chris run their lines, Chris is struggling to memorize and express enough emotion. This struggle that Chris had (seen above) is the primary reason why I stepped up and volunteered to play the boyfriend.
