Film 27/5

What a damn mess today was. Shannon and myself are actually quite sick, and so today was hard for us both having to stick around for so long to get the footage shot. Lajcee was full of bullshit excuses this morning as to why she couldnt come in. Number one being that she was out of town at her boyfriends with no ride in, despite confirming that we needed to be at the park, the last 4 days in a row. The big kicker with that situation is that we only had the location for today, and it cost money to book it. Both Aaron and James had her acting in their movies since she couldnt actually do any filming due to skipping certification class. Because she didnt come in, James has had to cut a whole scene out of his movie, and the rest of us had to wait until Jordyn finished work so that she could take the spot in Aarons film. Need less to say there was a lot of angry people today, which also didnt help the mood on set. Aaron is too easily overwhelmed to be effective at directing, not to mention wanting 10 angles of the same shot for every shot, and we just dont have time for that. Frustrations are very high and I think if we had too many more filming days, there would actually be a fight and walk-outs. Good thing this class is nearly over, I just hope there is enough footage for a film, for the ones that actually deserve it. The lessons I have learned from this whole experience are, dont underestimate just how lazy some people are, and dont help everyone else to the point of screwing yourself over in the long run.
