Intro Blog

 Hi, my name is Oscar Koenig, I am 15 years old and live in Fort Lauderdale Florida. I live the life of a pretty average teenage boy. I play football for our school, play video games and hang out with my friends. Id like to see myself as a bit of a thrill seeker though. I enjoy things like cliff jumping, rope swings, sending backflips off of 45 foot trees, that sort of stuff. Also lets not forget all the sports, I have played at least 10 different sports growing up as a kid. Football, soccer, tennis, baseball, and a bunch more. Those  are what make me who I am today. Today is actually my firsts football practice of the season. The last time I played was February. I hope I remember all my plays, because I am a wide receiver. And there are a lot of plays and formations we need to know by heart. What also makes it harder is that our coach has to make signs so the other players don't know the play too. So we also have to memorize the signs as well. Its actually later now and I finished up with practice. Its really nice to be back into it, almost makes me feel like were coming back to a little bit of normality. I can feel the effects of not being in football for so long. It was a tough practice even for being the first one. So this means I just need to push harder than before. I'm looking forward to this season and hope its going to be a good one.

Film day #2 Part 1

 Today is our second day of filming for this project. We had planned to get some extra work done today. First things first I had to get ready for Sonalis house. All I had to do was get changed, grab cloths, and get over there. After gathering everything up I headed over to Sonalis to get to work. When I got to Sonalis we started to discuss what we had to do. We had a few different ideas what to start with. We decided to start with some of our long takes. These were takes that were hard to follow the script for. so for most of these we improvised what we were saying but still staying on the topic. A long take in my opinion is one that was more than 30 seconds. We had a good amount of these scenes. The reason for so many long takes is because of how long our film was. If we had only small scenes it would make it a lot harder to meet our time requirement. These long shots were  actually pretty fun in my opinion. Getting to improv my lines was something I haven't experienced befor...
