Rant

Yet again there has been a long break between blogs, although this was to be somewhat expected as it was the Easter holidays. Still, that is no excuse for someone not to write up a couple of blogs, but apparently it is only me that writes on here. I haven't done all the research and work therefore how can I put it all up on here. I have asked the group to write on here and even given them my details so they can sign in, and that was at least three weeks ago yet still they haven't done it. I'm not trying to have a go at them I'm just sick of asking them to do work and it not materialising. I'm not saying that they haven't done any work, I just feel that I am expected to do the lion's share of the task. This is all well and good as I am project manager, and I expected to do more work, especially on the organising side of things, but when I feel that I'm doing everything, surely there must be something wrong.
I have been on holiday for a week and a half, and I can almost guarantee that none of the group has spoken to each other. Noone has spoke to me, written on the blog or the group facebook page, and I'm not quite sure how they expect a group to work with no communication. Perhaps I asserted early on that I was in charge and everything had to come through me but I don't think I did and if I did I certainly didn't mean to.
I think the problem is that everybody is waiting for their job to turn up. All four roles apart from project manager are specified and arguably can't be started until we start shooting, and I think some of our group are coasting along until their job turns up. This is all well and good, and it's no business of mine to tell someone how to approach their work, but this means that someone has to pick up the slack.
Malcolm said that everyone has to act as head of their departments, and I honestly don't think anybody has. I'm not perfect, and I could have done more work, but when other people aren't putting their all into it, why should I. I know it is just a student film, and a first year one at that, but to be honest every opportunity to make a film should not be taken for granted. None of us would have made this film if we weren't on this course so why should we make a half-hearted attempt now we are doing it.
Anyway, rant over. I hope that the group reads this because it might actually make them write on the blog! So Hot Thrust: tell me your side of the story and tell me just how wrong I am. Or agree. Or call me an idiot. Or do anything, as long as you write on this effing blog.
