So, in case you've been wondering, here's what I've been thinking about lately. God has blessed me significantly this quarter. I'm learning alot. I have amazing friends that care about me so much. I've managed to pay for everything that I've needed to pay for. My classes are making me work really hard, but in a good way. I'm in a band. I'm managing my time incredibly well. I'm just wondering why, when everything else is going right, the one thing that I feel called to do is going wrong. Every film project I do, it seems, have things out of my control go wrong. And while that is natural in film making, in my projects, they go wrong when I don't have ways to fix them. Such as, my video project (the first project here at scad) I had a bad tape and there were little glitches in the movie...all in shots that I needed. My intro to film project, everyone lost my number so they couldn't tell me where we were shooting and when the second day, so I wasn't able to be there. Turns out the second half of our project sucked. Beyond that, I was suppose to do a majority of the editing since I wasn't there that day, but one of the members of our team literally stole our film and edited it all himself. Therefore, that project wasn't very good. This quarter I have lighting and field. Our first project, we had a faulty light meter so we kept having to add more light to get it to a 2.8 and when we got it back everything was way too bright. Then in editing the computers kept messing up and wouldn't let us open files or avid would shut done and things were just not going right. It took us a week to finally get the footage so that people could edit it (the editing itself took less than an hour)..l don't know anything about sound design and someone in our group did...so they were going to do the sound (they went on a night that I couldn't be there). The next morning my group tells me that the sound didn't work and they couldn't put the scenes on one dvd so they're on two different ones, plus they think that they're not in order. Now, I have a final project. While location scouting, I found this location that would have been perfect, they seemed like they were going to let us shoot there they just had to make a few phone calls first. I get a call from them today saying that we can't shoot there. We're suppose to start shooting on thursday. Just so you know, I wasn't the location scout, I was just there to take pictures and for moral support. So, I don't think we have a location, I don't know if anyone's rented the equiptment, and I don't even think we have it cast. The script has so much potential. I'm really proud of it. I was sooo excited for this project and now everything seems to be going wrong. I don't understand why if this is what I'm meant to do, everything out of my control goes wrong. I'm in love with this next project and if it turns out how
