Human Error

Working in a group, as big or small it is always difficult because there is always the factor of, some people can not accept that they are wrong. Not only that it's the stress when one partner has a busy schedule and so will the other which makes work almost impossible outside of class. I feel that interacting with others in our group is difficult because of the basic human factors of error; everyone wants to be right.
Pre-production phases are the key point in producing the film because again as in the last post i made it determines whether the film will be made easily or not. When you add group projects where everyone is still learning everyone still feels that they are right. It is hard to work with people who feel they know everything when they clearly do not. And when you are given a job these said people do not respect that and continuously bother you by telling you that "you're doing it wrong" or "that won't work/doesn't look good". And when the film is shown the critics are relentless because of the mistake made to look like it was your own because of the name placed on you by your job. Unfortunately we do not have much integrity here because some will offer others up as a sacrifice immeddiately so their reputations will not be shammed for making bad call after bad call. This upsets me greatly because this has been happening to me that when I am doing my job I am whined and complained towards yet I still recieve the criticism. For instance if I edit  as an editor  or set up a shot as cinematographer, someone else feels they have to change it towards what THEY would like not what looks good for everyone.

Pre-Production

Everyone knows the glamorous look of the movie business, the action heroes, the dangerous villains, the damsel, the classics of film. But what most people don't realize is the work that goes into making all of this possible through pre-production.
Pre-production is the preliminary process that makes every film possible by organizing and coordinating efforts into certain areas to ensure that the film is produced and filmed without or with little falter. It can consist of constructing a shot list, a story board, a shooting schedule, and or even now a beat sheet. It also means obtaining of course the much needed actors/actresses, props, finding locations to shoot that will fit the film, and permission for shooting in some cases.
My experiences with pre-production have been well rough, because it is stressful trying to fit pre-, production, and post- production into a tight schedule and pre-production tends to take the longest then it's post production, then it's the actual filming. If the pre-pro work is done correctly the filming is no problem at all it's easier and organized, and the post-pro is easier because everything is where it belongs and easier to handle.
Pre-production is a pain in the arse, but it's probably the most important part of making a film; without it , the film is disorganized and harder to shoot.
