[Miscellany]

Today I spent the whole day filming with my students for this project we're doing. After school I receieved an email from the regional project manager letting me know that there is a private website where our film crew can write a blog about our experiences. I had to smile to myself when I thought about what these kids would write.

Today I got a whole day off from school and guess what?!??!!!! Tomorrow I get ANOTHER whole day off from school as well, just for making a movie! This is the BESTEST DAY EVA!

Miss F yelled at me today - she said I was "being irresponsible" and that she "didn't expect the sound manager to be the loudest person on set - especially after filming had already started" - she is sooo picky. I decided to go work on the music for the project while everyone was filming instead - Miss F went nuts at me for not "letting her know where I was going". Considering we took three hours to film 30 seconds of footage I thought it would be better to do something else useful at the same time. What's wrong with that? Miss F keeps looking at the sky and yelling "serenity now" for some reason, then she clenches her fists and lets a sigh of air slowly escape from her mouth so it makes a hissssssing sound. I think she might be spazzing out. I'm scared.

I do everything in this group I'm so sick of it. First I had to visit each teacher and let them know we were filming and then I had to prepare the set, then I had to write a letter to state parliament to get permission to use some footage we want to use, then I had to track down some sticky tape to stick a sign up, then I had to beg the principal to let us use her office AND I had to organise all the meetings AND I also hold a clip board all day. I don't know why Miss F is looking so stressed when it's clear that *I'm* doing all the work.

Today I got to yell "quiet on set" because the Audio guy went missing or something. It was soooo cool!!!!!!! Miss F was not happy about him disappearing. She also keeps asking me for the storyboard - how do I tell her I haven't finished yet? She says it's impractical for us to film without a completed storyboard and that I need to 'get it sorted, pronto'. We seem to be doing okay to me. Well maybe it's going a little slowly...

I hope Miss F doesn't notice that my camera work is shakey. I'm going through coffee withdrawals.

Well, I just don't know what I did to put everyone off side today. Okay so I was 1 hour late to filming and then had a ballet exam so I missed 2 other hours of filming and THEN I told her that I had a music lesson during filming tomorrow. What's the big deal anyway? I'm sure I told her about all this yesterday! It's unfair that she turned away like she couldn't look at me.

Months ago I wrote this great script for a movie and today I saw it being ripped apart via the hands of a hoodie wearing emo camera guy and a director who doesn't appreciate context - all in the name of "movie making". I think when I finally write my novel I will make sure it is never turned into a Hollywood movie.
