Schedule this!

This past week we had to submit our first hardcopy assessment: the production schedule, script, and shot list. It was a little bit difficult because most of the group didn't show up when we tried to put together a meeting. Out of our seven members, three of us were present and put together the shot list and schedule. I had already gone through the scene breakdown pages before we met up. We got everything finished, and I'm even fairly certain that we did it properly. Yay!

We've had to rearrange our schedule however, because we didn't get the shooting days we wanted. Turns out that everyone wanted to shoot on Wednesday and Thursday. We've also run into the issue that one of our actors is going to be in Byron Bay for our filming days, so we're finding someone to fill the role.

The thing I find most frustrating at this point is that not all of our group members check the group email, so then when they come to class, they ask me all kinds of questions that have already been answered and figured out through email. I guess it's hard with group assignments to find a group in which everyone is dedicated to the project. You just have to manage with what you've got and hope that the number of dedicated students outweighs the slackers. Sadly, it seems like it doesn't in our group.
