Problem: we have no clue what to do

Solution: we will have to discuss more with our missing team member (Timo)

Week 5, 18/08/2023

Week 6, 25/08/2023

- we continue our storyboard and screenplay

- we decided on a filming schedule

Problem: getting our casts together, finishing our screenplay storyboard, confirming the filming schedule

Solution: ask all our cast and finalize everything

To Do: ask our cast and film next week, here is our schedule:

• August 28 - 30: Maxi and Timo argument
• September 1, 4-7: Other Dave scenes
• September 8: Danny (Crypto Dave)

Week 7, 1/09/2023

- We finished half a scene before Maxi and Danny had to leave for Bangkok

- Did conceptual drawing for our thumbnails

- Did trial shots and might lead to different places for everyone

- Started our critical self-reflection

Problem: Maxi left us with an unfinished screenplay so our flow is very disturbed

Solution: Maxi needs to finish his screenplay and use social media to keep in contact

To Do: Finish our tasks and shoot 

Week 8, 8/09/2023

- We started our shoot and have done 80% of our scenes

- Updated our blogposts: development, research

- Finalized our thumbnail design and elements

Problem: One of our major Dave (Danny) got sick so we need to push our last shot to Monday

Solution: Push shoot back to Monday

To Do: Finish shoot and start editing

Week 9, 13/09/2023

- We finally finished our shoot and can get started with editing

- We did the photoshoot for the thumbnail

- We started editing our thumbnail with the final typeface for "Dave(s)" and got the animation

Problem: Danny was sick on Monday and on Tuesday, he didn't have time to shoot on the time other Dave was available. 

Solution: As we cannot push it back further than Tuesday, we changed Danny and his entire Dave role to Juna as "Not Dave" also known as Kevin. So we had to change our screenplay and some of our blog posts

To Do: edit our blogs, continue our edit, continue self-reflection
