2nd of March, editing and planning!

As we have already edited most of the footage, today was spent just tightening some things up. I feel like I was a balanced learner (see below) as I was quite open to what was going on around me. An example of this is in my actions today; although I'm editor, Jeff insisted on doing it. I understand that he likes things done in a certain way, so I let him do it, which turned out to be really educational for me watching him. I also contributed my thoughts on what he was doing/ what could be improved. This ensured that we did not argue, which has been a problem in the past, as I also like to have things done my own way. I think that next time though, when we get the footage for the rest of the film, I am going to edit. 

We also spent today planning for our final shooting session, which will take place tomorrow evening. Although we actually have two scenes to finish, I think we can get it done as we are much more prepared mentally than last time; Julien knows his lines and we know the location much better. We have also had more time to think about what is going on, which means that we have had more time to process what is expected. 

Although I really enjoy working with the other people in my group, I am having a hard time being nice to Raphael. Although he and I are friends, I repeatedly find myself getting agitated with him because he always seems unfocused and whiny. Today I tried really hard to get past that so as to remain on good terms with the rest of the group, which is important not only for our collective well-being but also for the quality of our project as a whole, however I'm not sure I can be this forgiving in future. I think maybe I need to talk to him. He is supposed to be in charge of both sound and the poster for our project, but he seems to be working on neither. This has to be remedied! I shall have a word with him before next class...

Balanced Learners: Understand the importance of intellectual, physical and emotional balance to achieve personal well-being for themselves and others.
