University projects

Sigh...

So for the past week me and my film crew have been filming our university assignment. I won't go into detail regarding the plot of the film though.

The first day went ok, despite me suffering from a killer of a migraine. The second day went ok too, although the heat was unbearable, and arguments in the group started to break out. The final day was pretty bad. Not a disaster, but bad. The actors were over an hour late to start with, then when we changed location, the majority of the group went into town to get everyone food while the rest of us set up equipment and prepared ourselves, but the 'lunch group' decided to take a ridiculous amount of time in buying the food and coming to the location. My Subway was freezing cold by the time it got to me. To add insult to injury, whilst filming, the cable connecting my microphone to my edirol decided to break somehow, resulting in me getting a few nasty electric shocks. I had to switch over to my trusty dictaphone (which I now carry everywhere with me) and recorded sound on it.

The shoot finished, and it was time to embark on the long journey back home in the hot sun with the equipment. Despite there only being three scheduled shooting days, there were definitely going to be more added.

Group work is the bane of my life. And technology hates me.
