Luke Pietnik - Communication Problems

Right, well I've no idea how it happened, but there has been some kind of massive communication error here. We were supposed to be having a tutorial with Malcolm on Thursday, so said the notice stuck to the outside of one of the offices. So it miffed us somewhat when we sat there in the media base for a good while before realising he wasn't going to turn up. Cannily, I'd printed a couple of copies of the script the night before, because I'd heard Max was bringing along two of the actors. We had a read-through and came to a consensus about our approaches to the characterisation and production of the piece.

However, we were still left with the lingering question of where Malcolm was hiding. As we finished and Will and I waited for Max to return, I noticed 'Hot Thrust', a rival production group, walking by the door. Suddenly realising they must have just seen malcolm, I had to rush out to ask them where he was. He was somehow under the impression that we were on location, filming. Eh!? What on Earth happened there? Anyway, he'd dashed off before we could find him. I've no idea if the session will be rescheduled. I hope so.

We should be filming tomorrow anyway, so we'll just be relying on our own initiative. The most important things to remember are:

- Don't break the 180 degree rule.
- Regulate the exposure of the camera.
- Label all DV tapes clearly.
- Take care of all the eqipment.
- Work as a team.

If we can pull together on this, we'll do fine. More soon...
