I decided to organise a tutorial with Chris because I was concerned with how the production was progressing. The edit wasn't going well, many of the shots were off or out of focus and so the whole structure of the film had to change dramatically, and there wasn't any communication between Ben and other members of the crew.
There was also difficulty in finding a loaction for the bathroom. Joeley was insisting that it should have dark walls and tiles; though I had found a number of locations we could use, non of these bathrooms fitted this description.
Overall, everyone was feeling pretty negative about the film so I wanted some advice on how to go forward with it.
In addition to this, I was getting increasingly stressed because while trying to organise shoots and reshoots and trying to smooth over tension that might have formed within the crew, I was studying for my final Spanish exams, which I do as part of the uni ULS scheme.
I hadn't intended to talk about trying to revise for my exams during this tutorial, however I was visibly stressed and worked up so Chris asked if there was anything else going on. When I told him that I was also pretty stressed about getting my revision done, he told me that I should step back from producing and focus on my exams. I wasn't expecting this at all, but I must admit that it did take off some of the pressure I was feeling.
He then said that he would contact the rest of the crew for a group tutorial to discuss the issues I had raised but also to tell them that he had asked me to stop producing.
