Filming is Officially Over

        Entry 32: 3/28/22

     Last day of Spring Break :C. This is very sad news but the good news is we got a whole week ahead of us to do documentary editing and the other 2 components. The only issue is that we still have so much to do and so little time. This week is (I use this word a lot) but JAM PACKED. Today is Monday but on Wednesday Isa and I have Lightning Oscars rehearsal. Lightning Oscars is our school version of the oscars where SGA (student government) plans a whole event with some funny awards for students and give them fake oscars. For example some categories are President of the Bay, student most likely to be president, Couple that Never was, etc. Isa is on the CBTV live event crew where they are live streaming to Youtube so parents and students who can not come could see, and I am a presenter for the category The Couple that Never Was with my best friend Alex. After rehearsal on Wednesday, which will probably last until 7pm, the actual Lightning Oscars is on THURSDAY! This gives us zero time to edit on those days without staying up extremely late because the event starts right after school and goes on until 10PM. Oh but at least we have Friday to edit.. wrong. Friday is GRADBASH! Gradbash is where all the seniors go up to Universal and spend the night (7pm-2am). The park will be closed off to only seniors. So while on top of everything Isa and I sign up ourselves for, we also need to complete this doc. 

     Next, Isa and I needed to make sure we could use the powerful computer our advisor had, Monster #2. Isa kept reminding me to text him everyday but I already had once earlier during Spring Break and he left me on read for a bit because it was break and he was traveling. A bit after he did answer and give us the all good. The computer is honestly what is going to allow us to finish on time. 

     After our advisor gave us the thumbs up, Isa asked Wade if we could borrow the hard drive he had that was formatted to Windows. Isa was going to originally use hers but it is formatted to Mac computers. Wade said yes so Isa was going to pick it up. At the same time, we also need to return all the props to school so Isa put those in her trunk so we could return them after school.

     Alright now that that is out of the way, we still got one big issue, we still do not have the name! Which is super annoying because to start the whole branding process on social media we need a name but we just can not find a good enough one. It is so difficult to find a name that checks off all the boxes we want it to. We are honestly extremely stuck so we asked around again and here is some other suggestions since last time:

-Are You Still Watching?: You normally see this in streaming services like Netflix after you watch several episodes without clicking anything. I really like this one and I think it is one of our best options at the moment.

-Panopticon: One of our interviewee's suggested this name and Isa really likes it but I'm okay with it. The definition is really cool when you connect it to the male gaze and how cameras or perceptions are all around us but we can't see it. If we were to use it, Isa and I said we would 100% would need to put a definition somewhere. But we also need a docu-series name. sigh.

     Hopefully we have the name soon, I really want to use that around the social media but we will have to see. Anyways, that is all for today so I will update you guys soon! I hope I can memorize my lines for the rehearsal in time as well.
