really? no sound. really?

This past class was our first workshop day. It was also our first day with the camera. It was also day our footage was due. Tensions ran high as Sam called everyone at four o clock trying to get them to find some mountain to go and film at. I had work till 4:30 and needed to eat before class. Destiny and Lynn had their similar justifiable excuses. I was too angry to care. I had been trying to get everyone organized from the beginning so we wouldn’t have to be stressed out about this. So much for that.

We go to class and sign in. Destiny Lynn and I decide to go meet up with Sam and Tommy to see what has been done and still needs to be done before we give the camera to the next team. We finally meet up with everyone. The actors all have to leave at this point so everyone but Tommy and Sam are starting to get frustrated and nervous about how to shoot the rest of the film without the actors. Sam ensures us that we have enough for a film and we go off to his room to see what footage we will be working with.

After a few minutes of fumbling around with the camera we manage to hook it up to the tv to start to view the footage.

We can’t get the sound to work and call on my handy sibling Jenny to come help us. She promptly comes over and starts fumbling around to help us figure it out. We finally realize that Tommy has forgotten to turn the sound on and have filmed all of our footage in mute. DAMN IT!!! We are all just frustrated and tensions are running high. Mind you our footage is due in about an hour, and everything we have filmed wont work. We swiftly decide to AGAIN change the script and start from scratch. (This is the reason we still don’t have a script) I get really angry and choice words are exchanged between Sam and I. We love each other as friends, but we do NOT work together in a group.

We start a film about making our film. With the hope it will turn out something like Adaptation. I really really really hope this works out. The LAST thing I want is to be stressing about this when I have finals to worry about. We’ll see.
