Production blog: Group Conflict

 Hey everyone! I’m Luc-Luis Manosalvas, and welcome back to my blog. Throughout the past few days of working me and my group have had continuous arguments that gave slowed us down. First off, most of us felt like our groupmates weren't pulling their weight. In the very beginning when we were doing the storyboard, Daniel and I felt that Rhys wasn't doing his fair share of work. When we were doing the group blogs, I made a mistake that Daniel was very upset about, and understandably so. I did the group blog I was supposed to, and submitted it, but I forgot to send it to the others. Daniels grade suffered because of this. At the same time, I was upset at Daniel. At least in my opinion, Daniel has a terrible work ethic. He is always lazy, puts in the bare minimum effort, and doesn't seem to care about his grade. Despite all these issues, we did get through the planning part of the project. During filming, we argued, but it wasn't quite as bad as before. This time it was mostly trivial things like camera positioning. This was to be expected from a group like ours. The second day of filming was similar, with just small arguments throughout. The only time a disagreement seemed to affect the project was when Rhys was filming us play a videogame. He wanted to be one of the actors playing the game, so the final product looked rushed and sloppy. Overall, the biggest issue we had was with our groupmate Lucas. He did essentially no work at all. The only thing I can recall Lucas doing was acting at the very beginning, playing the piano. Despite the conflicts, I think our final product will be worth our time.
