3/12 Tutorial / Problem-solving

I met with Chris to discuss the issues I have been having with my group. I explained to him that the notice they are providing me with for shoots are too short and that this is a big issue. It is why I haven't been able to attend shoots as Louise has a schedule that doesn't say what hours I am working. From the shoots I have been made aware about, I have missed the early morning one and the most recent one, which involved a miscommunication on location around the library. Professionalism should be upheld at all times and any member shouldn't portray themselves in an offensive and childish manner to another member.

Chris has attempted to understand the details of the situation, but has also attempted to remain impartial and unbiased. The source of the miscommunication is the group's attempt to contact each other via Facebook. In my opinion, this is the most unreliable method in which communication can be established.

Chris has told me that the alternatives would be to create my own 5 - 10 minute piece, which would prove too difficult at this stage or to create another 2 minute piece, but it wouldn't fulfil the brief. One alternative incase everything goes wrong is to get the edit and create a sound edit myself that differs from the group's.

I am going to take Chris' advice to be proactive and to contact the group in regards to sound designing. What I have said is to meet up on Friday at 1pm if everyone is available and if they are not to meet up another day.


With that being said, lets hope the sound side of the project does get picked up onto its feet and that the project progresses forwards. My main concern is that with such little time, these aren't the kind of problems to encounter we should encounter especially at this stage, but as long as the project is completed. That is all that counts.
