Yesterday was AMAZING!

Yesterday was super, fantastic! Not that all of the other days haven't been, but yesterday was just a blast. We filmed on one of the Universal Studio backlots again, but this time we were divided into bigger groups. Our class had previously been divided into quarters, but we were divided into halves. There are 15 of us, so one group of 8 and one group of 7. My group was the group of 7.

Our assignment was to improv a "mockumentary". A mockumentary is a mock-documentary.

We had to create a new culture and interview people in the culture. We all acted in it, co-wrote it, and co-directed it. We just had the most fun coming up with ideas and running all over the place to film it. It didn't even feel like school. And granted, we've been making movies all along, but for some reason, this was different. We were all discussing how much fun we had, and we decided that it was because it was OUR project. We were all equally invested in it, which made being in the crew feel different, and it made every aspect of it different. Not to mention, that it was a comedy. I've been doing dramas this whole time. So doing something light like this was a nice change of pace.

Now we have to get together and edit it. That part might be difficult; there will be 7 people throwing out their input on putting it together. We'll see how that goes. Haha.

Halloween weekend! There apparently is a huge parade in West Hollywood on Monday night. I'll be going to that and letting you know about it.
