Hello again! As I mentioned in my last post, my group and I are studying conventions in popular romance movies and are choosing elements of these movies to incorporate into our own film. Today we watched the 2018 film "Crazy Rich Asians", which follows the story of Rachel Chu, a Chinese-American woman who travels to Singapore with her boyfriend Nick Young to attend a wedding and meet his family.

There is a clubhouse in there that we can occupy at any time of day we would like. It is very spacey and has a lot of things we can be doing in there, such as sitting in the movie room, playing pool, ping pong, and Foosball, to set the scene of everyone being together as a group. It would be a nice sight to see since the whole piece is about friends becoming lovers, and these activities can show the aspect of friends having a good time all together.  Participants: The first participant is Luke, and he is the cameraman of this film. He will be behind the scenes, doing the work of holding onto the camera. The next participant is Elton, ...
