I asked my friend Conner to review by movie. I wasn't really sure what he would think, but I was excited to get his reaction. He is in my class, so we could watch it together. The first time we watched it, he laughed when my parents found out I was invisible. He thought it was funny that my dad was looking for me in the dishwasher. He also laughed when I stole my dad's breakfast. When we got to the part where I put chocolate sauce on my brother's bagel, he asked why my hand was in the shot. I explained that I had thought about that before we shot the footage. I decided that since the movie was shot from my perspective and I didn't know that I was invisible, I would have been able to see my hand. As a result, I thought it was okay to include that shot. He agreed that that made sense. We continued watching and he laughed when I pulled the chair out from under my brother. At the end he said that he really liked it. We watched it together one more time. This time we talked...

My final decision: Since I actually don’t love scary movies, I’ve decided to do Pitch B – the invisible boy. I think it wo...
We decided to film things out of order because that’s how it would work best. In order to know what scene went where, I asked someone to hold up fingers to indicate which scene we were in. I hope that when I edit later, it will be easy to find each scene. I also planned to leave a little video at the end of each scene so that I could edit more easily. We actually started with the first scene, which was my brother and my mother talking at the kitchen counter. We had to do a few takes because I accidentally stopped it too early. Then my dad was done making his breakfast, so we switched to the scene where I take his breakfast. When my dad turned to get a glass for juice, I stole his breakfast. We got a little confused about what was supposed to happen here, so we had to stop and do a retake. This time when my dad turned back, he and my brother improvised. They did a great job arguing over what happened to my breakfast. This went on longer than I had scripted, but I really liked what the...
