Burying the Past so far

OK, so everyone seems to be on with the main task in hand. Good folders, storyboards, schedules, equipment lists, shot lists etc - but this is the point everything starts to go pear shaped.

Actors drop out. It rains. You forget to monitor the sound. It all goes wrong.

But hey - this is the point. For most people, this project is the first time you have done this, so - do not panic.

We are looking for you to make mistakes. That is how you learn. In fact, I want to know about the mistakes! All of you who are blogging are also learning about communicating this in real time to the real world - Brilliant. Talk about the problems. The way you get Distinctions on this course is that you show me how you deal with problems.

So, let it rain. Let actors drop out. Let the sound screw up. You won't let it happen again!
