Music Video Filming Failed

     During the past weekend, my group members and I were supposed to get together and film our Music Video. I proposed the idea of filming on 11/23/19, which was Saturday. The time agreed upon was to start filming at 11:00 A.M. The location where we were supposed to film was Chic-Fil-A. So on Saturday morning, I woke up at 8:30 A.M. Once I was awake, I proceeded to get ready.  Once I was completely ready, it appeared that I had an enormous amount of spare time until I had to leave. I decided to make breakfast and text in our filming group chat to see if all of the group members were ready to film today. When I was done making breakfast and I was about to start eating, my group members responded to my message in the group chat. At that moment, My group members informed me they weren't going to be able to film. 

     Once I was informed that my group mates weren't able to film, I immediately texted back to see when they were available. I asked if they were available to film later on in the day. My group members responded that they weren't able to film later on in the day. After, I asked them if they were available to film on Sunday morning. They asked if the same time was okay. I responded and said that it was fine with me. After an hour of no response from anyone, someone responded with another problem. The problem was that Chic-Fil-A doesn't open on Sundays. At first, I didn't realize the issue, so I asked my groupmate why that was a problem. After a while, they explained that the issue with Chic-Fil-A not being open was that we needed to film the inside of the restaurant along with the outside of it. Along with filming the inside, we need to get bags with there logos on it and maybe cups for the music video. Not only was that required, but we were going to ask them if they could change the letters on there sign to say " Closed on Sunday". We were going to ask them, to do this because the name of the song we are doing is, "Closed on Sunday" by Kanye West.

     Today in class, we came to a decision that we need to film soon. So, I proposed the idea of filming during the Thanksgiving Break. They found the idea very appealing but the only issue is that if we don't film before the 27th, we are going to be missing a member of the group because he is out of town for the break. We told him that there's no problem because we could film most of the scenes of the Music Video without him. Once, he gets back from his vacation we can film the rest of the scenes where the whole group is needed. Therefore, we are planning to film most of the Music Video 11/27/19, which is the upcoming Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Once we have most of the footage needed, we can start editing and we should be done with the majority of the editing by the end of the break.
