Time Management
I haven't filmed anything for the past week. I had been too focused on other school work (+ uni applications) to think about how much more filming I had to do for this FTV Task. I have only just realised that I still have another WHOLE THIRD OF MY PROJECT TO FILM. Not to mention the work I have to put in for editing, and voice overs. Currently, I am a little annoyed at myself for not getting this all out of the way. However, it is not too late to continue to be organised. I have contacted my actors and set owners (lol my friends houses) and am currently working out a schedule for this week.
