I have had a fair few problems with my cast. Unfortunately the cast members can only do certain days now due to exams and college work as well as personal life. We all arranged two days a week (Wednesday and Friday) that I would film for a few hours and do planning. However some cast members wanted to change these dates after a few weeks of filming.
So instead of waiting around for them to agree on a date, I scrapped the idea of using them in my trailer and started with a new cast. In this cast I have myself and Luke Bolton. As we have close contact with each other it was easier for me to work with him. I see him a couple of times a week. Since working and filming with him I have gotten a great deal more done than what I would have before. I have nearly finished my DVD front cover and done some filming as well as taken photographs. My website is also nearly finished. It has been difficult trying to think of all new story lines and themes as well as costume, but it has all come together in the end.
I am worrying about using the edit suites due to the amount of people doing A2 Media Studies. I am very aware that there are only eight edit suites and about 60 students. However on many occasions I have come up in my free periods or when I have a media lesson and they're been used. When this happens I just find a computer else where and get on with my ancillary texts. I'm also aware that one of the set deadlines is 22.03.2013, but I am hoping that I can come in over Easter for a day, to finish some last touches. If not, I will most certainly get everything finished the week that we return from Easter. I will also be doing work at home throughout the Easter holidays.
At the minute media is taking over my home life and free periods, but it is the only way that I can get my work done. Even though I have other lessons that I need to be revising for, media still seems to worm its way in and taking over that time too.
