Hmm, This is the second time I've tried to write an entry this morning, hopefully this time I'll be able to finish it. You see, last time my Dad walked in. What is it about my parents and not letting me use the computer! I suppose it's my fault, I'm on it constantly and I had other things to do. Oh well.
So far today I have got up, had breakfast, read the entertainment section in the newspaper and then tidyied up my bedroom. Not much to tell you about there.
Yesterday was pretty fun. You know that drama thing that I was telling you about? It was kind of like a production day where we had to make the programs, the posters, paint the sets, get the props ready and so forth. Well, when I first got there I started painting the set. It's pretty basic- just a black box sort of stage with a huge war poster painted at the back. I thought it was going to be sooooo dodgy but it actually turned out alright. It looks really impressive! Well, I stopped that after a while because there were already four people painting and there wasn't enough brushes.
I started to get really bored because no one was really doing anything. By the way, I missed out on ordering pizza- I came to late. Though it was okay cause Ben gave me half of his. I didn't eat much cause it was so gross. He had ordered one with just cheese-nothing else! yuck.
After a while of mucking around doing nothing I went up to Luke (who was bored out of his mind too) and asked him if he wanted to go for a walk. Thankfully he did.
It was so funny, we went into the school bush, we were in there for ages. Eventually when we came out we were in someone else's backyard. When they asked us what the hell we were doing in there we couldn't stop laughing to answer him. We eventually managed to apoligise and he unlocked the gate to let us out. When we came back to school one hour later absolutely no one noticed that we had gone. Which was probably a good thing because I go to this really strict private school. If they had found out we had gone we would have gotten into so much shit.
After that Luke and I just mucked around with the gels in the lights for the rest of the time. We've deceided that we're going to do this really unrealistic thing by using heaps of colours such as red, blue, green and orange -absolutely NO white. How cool is that! It works so well with the black box stage.
When that had finished I pretty much went straight from there to Amelia's house to film our scary movie for english. It was so dodgy but we had so much fun filming it. Elizabeth (who we had playing the main part) looked gorgeous! She was wearing this long black satin dress that Amelia's mother had in her wardrobe. I ended up being the one who held the camera. I thought I did a pretty good job considering i'de never done it before. I barely wobbled at all!!!
When we watched it all at the end we were all laughing so hard! I was in tears. We had done so many stupid shots. For example, there was this one shot where you were supposed to hear a scream (which is supposed to be Elizabeth in the story but Amy was actually going to do it for her) and then Elizabeth lands in front of the camera dead. Unfortunately it didn't turn out so well. Elizabeth, trying not to get mud on her dress lowered herself onto the floor and then decieded to play dead and THEN Amy screamed. Can you imagine how stupid that looked? he he he, it was funny. But it's okay, we can edit those things out. I think overall it will end up looking really good.
See ya
