Final day!

Welp, this is our last day to do the TotS project. I really hope you have all enjoyed working with one another to get this show on the road. I really appreciate the punctual needs of our leader, Joyce, as it was great and very much needed heading towards the end. It really has been a fun experience working with you guys, even if Jidam never met us in person u.u . Wow I guess I'm just really tired... my writing skills have deteriorated tenfold :/ .

To the sophomores of '15:
Do your best during this project! If you do not put effort in, your product WILL suffer. Also be sure to be as stubborn as possible about due dates within your groups, as it actually turned out very well for our group (besides the fact that I'm blogging at 11:42 the day before the project is due awwyeaaaa). While our group had one person end up doing the script (don't hate us, Joyce), I still think that working together to reach a common goal, even if you spend 5-6 hours on the script because you end up goofing off instead of working, is much more fun for everyone. It has been a pleasure taking part in this project!


Edit: Oh and be sure to name your blog something much more plausible than this one, because this blog's URL is literally stuck to our movie poster.

Some random Behind the Scenes stuff

 Here are two of five pictures that we took that were not part of formal pictures. Joyce and Jason being awesome siblings.


And me sitting like an absolutely perfect child, y'know.

Day 45 (Wow it's the day before the project is due)

It's been a while! I guess updates are needed on the blog, so I will get to doing that... now...

Day 34 (wooo we hit one month!!!!)

Wooo it's been one month! I'm not sure if the grading guidelines for each role are on the language arts blog, so let me find out right now....

Yeah it doesn't look like the the guidelines are on there... I could either scan or type out the guidelines (either way it feels like a hassle, so input please >:D).


oops gotta go update tomorrow maybe

Edit: hahah we all knew that was a lie

Day 21 (eheheheh oops)

Hey guys! It's time to start memorizing the new script (sorry!). To find the updated version online, go to screenwritingpro.com and login using the info Joyce has provided us on the Facebook page! This is more convenient than printing out multiple copies and distributing them, as the linguist role has not been completed yet! Get ready to meet sometime this or next week to do the linguist stuff! Also be ready to get recorded for some behind the scenes stuff >:]. More info will come as needed. Since no one checks this blog anyway, I can probably end here on a really awkward note.

Day 15

Sooo apparently my blogging is not quite good enough to be read by others ._. . I will make sure to change/improve content as soon as possible! There's still not much to rant/talk about, as recording will not start until spring break in two weeks. The Linguist role may be interesting, so I'll make sure to fill all y'all in on what we did and how long it took! The goal is to finish that before spring break (the week before it starts). We will probably meet together and work on the role as a group instead of making our Linguist do all of the work! The workload will start increasing within the next two weeks! So make sure to keep pushing, as we haven't really done much besides watch the episodes and do the essays (Good job, guys!!!). Also, yet another reminder. Tell me what your favorite moments were during each Sherlock episode! If you forget I'll just make a bunch that I liked (kwikwikwikwi) and pretend you guys liked them too. That should be all that I have to go over. More info will be provided later.



On a side note:
Wow you guys actually check the page! Good for you~! 11 pageviews doe (it may have been me fixing something, but give me this).

Day 12 (Technically 13)

The two assigned Sherlock episodes were due today (yesterday, actually)! Be sure to tell me or Joyce what your favorite moments were! We will start to record soon (hopefully), so make sure to memorize all lines and any other changes. An Anderson is still needed! We will figure out who to camo this week. There will probably be less updates over the following weeks until the start of spring break, unless we decide to do the portfolio and linguist slang stuff this or next week. Keep up the good work!

Day 9 (wooooo so many of the things to do)

Sorry about yesterday! A day was taken off for the CAHSEE (ahahaha more like to relax). I hope you all had a nice two days with no responsibilities! Now back to work! Be sure to start memorizing your lines in the updated script (once again, much obliged, Joyce)! There shouldn't be too much more, because most of the changes were additions to the deductions. Go Joyce! However, a new problem has arisen. With the write-in of Anderson, a character that Sherlock despises on many different levels, we need someone from outside the group to appear in camo or someone needs to do two roles (it's only one or two lines, people!). We will discuss what to do tomorrow (either during class or lunch), so try not to be absent (ahem ahem you know who you are). How much work should we put into the TotS project?
(Don't worry, this IS the correct gif)
Also, be sure to watch the assigned BBC Sherlock episodes ("A Study in Pink" and "The Blind Banker"). This should take around three hours, so do your best to watch them on Friday or something before we work more on the project. Once you have, be sure you screenshot (I know you're either going to watch it illegally or on Netflix so...) your favorite lines so I can go back and make gifs out of them! Research was due last Saturday, and the paper itself is due this Saturday. All other due dates (recording, editing, and the portfolio) should be during the end of spring break (no specific dates yet), so let us all put all of our effort into finishing quickly! That's all for today. Thanks!!!

Day 7

Due dates will be posted tomorrow! Good job to everyone that has finished their work! The script is basically finished, unless we decide to add more. Yay Joyce! Also, Jidam has finished his research paper. Another good sign we're off on the right track. We need to discuss how we're going to present the portfolio and clothing (besides suits) for our characters! This was a good week, though! Keep up the hard work!

CAHSEE is tomorrow, so go to sleep early :?. Bye for now!

Day 7 (actually day 7 sorry for the mix-up)

The Historian page is still not working. Troubleshooting commence!

More useful info will come in a few mins, don't worry!


Edit: 9:06 PM

Okay I sort of fixed it? The hitbox for the last page is not actually where it says Blogger, but to the left a bit! Problem (kind of?) solved! Hurrah!

Day 7 (6 still woot woot)

I FOUND THE PAGES EVERYONE CLAP FOR ME CLAPCLAPCLAP PACHI PACHI PACHI SUCH FUN WOW
Probably going to sleep now (after just like 30 mins of work heheheh). NIGHT ALLLLLLL
WAIT PROBLEM HAS BEEN DETECTED
WHY CAN I NOT CLICK THE HISTORIAN TAB WHY


TONIGHT I SLEEP IN ANGER
PREPARE FOR FRETFUL SLEEP

Day 7 (still day 6)

Oh gosh someone help where are the pages i dont know whatttt is even going on my pages why why whyw why why

Oh and what is going on with this blog? There's one pageview from Germany... like what is up with that
Oh gosh I am driving this blog down down down. But really what is going on this blog is still a WIP why are people looking at it why?!?

Okay but seriously where are the pages. Where. Are. The. ___. Pages.

(oops) Day 7 (actually 6 but who cares)

Joyce edited the script today (Everyone give Joyce a round of applause!!!). Roles have been assigned. Be sure to start memorizing your parts!
Also, apparently the other Sherlock group is doing the same scene. Boo. Let's go destroy them all >:[. Welp, the script has been written by a hard worker (oops) so maybe Mr. Chung will give us priority....???
Remember to watch the two assigned Sherlock episodes, "A Study in Pink" and "The Blind Banker". These are what our script is based off of, so watching these would help you get in-character! Also, don't be intimidated by the homosexual undertones (heh heh Grant). That's not what the show is about (or is it???).
But seriously, guys, you have got to watch it! Also make sure to tell me your favorite parts/lines so I can start making gifs out of them! That is all for today! Byeeeee

Day 6 (whoops).

Welp. Today, basically, Joyce worked on the script. We had other things to do so our apologies, Joyce! Commence: Watching Sherlock Episode 1 (Kota). Woo. Research was due today, so make sure you all did your stuff. Here's an idea: let's all say our favorite lines of BBC Sherlock episodes (1 and 2 are assigned! Remember to watch them by next Saturday!) and make gifs out of them! So many, of the fun, will be had.
