Delay in production...lockdown

 Once the storyboard was finished, the group convened to discuss certain aspects of the project. During this meeting, various important details were resolved, even though each member had their own distinct thoughts on how the filming, directing, and editing should be executed. Despite this, a consensus was reached fairly swiftly.

One key point that was brought up was the locations where filming would take place. Everyone agreed that certain places were necessary for the project, but since filming on school grounds was not permitted, alternative options had to be considered. The group thought that shooting at the beach or in parks would be ideal, but there were concerns about noise levels and inclement weather affecting the audio quality. It was crucial for the actors' voices to be clear for the audience's benefit. The group also discussed shooting scenes in homes or gyms to capture specific moments and include a training montage, which is common in sports-themed projects.

The group also deliberated on the cast and crew. While the group would have complete control over the filming, directing, and editing processes, additional help was needed for the acting. To expand the cast beyond just the group members, friends, and family were invited to participate. Furthermore, many scenes would be filmed in busy public places, so incorporating background characters and ensuring chemistry between the cast was important for a natural feel.

As the project progressed, the group continued to make changes, but the diversity of opinions within the group has helped enhance the project's overall quality.
