Firstly, due to unforeseen weather conditions we were forced to cancel filming on several occasions. This was frustrating as it was totally out of our control. It also meant that we were being put further and further behind schedule each time. Secondly, there were many occasions where all members of the group, along with actors had a clash in their schedules. This was largely because none of us took all the same subjects and only two shared more than one in common. This meant that there were several occasions where only one group member was available for filming. This was unfeasible as one member of the group could not be expected to manage all 4 roles of production, whilst managing a group of actors simultaneously. Finally, the lack of communication between group members was appalling. On more than one occasion there were not only mix ups, but last minute cancellations that were not passed on. This resulted in a lot of irritation, especially for me, when on several occasions i was only informed of the changes after i had already left, and only once i myself enquired when other group members intended to arrive. However towards the end of our deadline communications started to improve slightly, with fair warning of cancellations given on Facebook and reschedules given at the same time. Unfortunately on the few occasions where filming commenced, we had the devastating experience of all our work being wiped by an extremely inconsiderate student to make room for her project. This has left us with no footage and a need to start from scratch. However hopefully this time round the communication, weather and schedules will work with us rather than against us.
