Not Going to Say Anything Specific

     I have to be honest, this project is tough. There are things I know now that I really wish I could have known when we started. Talking about film hasn't gotten me this stressed before.
    What's even worse is that I know some of it is my fault (and perhaps my incapability to be director/ or just the combination and how certain people work together in a group)... Now I know what not to do, but for now we have to make the best of what we can with this project. Everyone needs to try something a few times to see if its fit for them. Everyone has their own way of doing things and some things can only be learned through experience. Not everyone will be great the first time.
     What I really regret is that I adapted the screenplay to fit the actors' needs. It disorganized many things and it's just... Next time I won't adjust the script to the actors' needs because I feel like this film lost the potential it had to be awesome. I mean, it still has a chance, but all the symbolism and hfubwnifonmfw.
    Honestly, maybe if I had left a day or two more for pre-production, I might have been a better director. But you only learn these things with experience, as I mentioned. I'm partially to blame, it's a group effort. But instead of complaining about it, I'm going to try to salvage what we have. No giving up! Because at least we learned something in the end... Right?

Awkward Sleeping Schedules

     So, a lot can happen in a week. Priorities have to be set, and film seems to be up there. Our schedule has changed so many times. Regardless, I'm glad we finally began shooting and hopefully we can wrap it up by Monday. Sometimes, having moments talking to your group helps, where you avoid the feeling that everything's going wrong. Since Sylvia and Ted's roles have been secure (as in nothing wrong can happen now), everything should go smoothly. Let's all hope it does because I really want to approach this video in a positive way and finish something that I was behind. If you don't finish a film on time, it just gives you this awful feeling, or at least I get that feeling. It's like lost potential. So... basically-- to all the groups out there-- THINK POSITIVE! (And yes, that had to be in all caps.)
