#9 What a Nightmare



So far our PSA has given me nothing but a headache.  Don’t get me wrong, I love our idea of filming the Co-Rec, but the whole process has been nothing but a nightmare.  At first we were ahead of the game and finished our proposal a day early.  Then everything started to spiral downward.
After we finished writing our storyboard script we decided that it would be best if we began filming as soon as possible.  We did not want to postpone the making of our PSA so we decided to begin on Thursday.  Unfortunately, when asked an employee of the Co-Rec if she would mind being in our film we learned some terrible news.  Apparently one cannot film inside the recreational center without permission.  I knew before we began filming that we could not film anyone outside our group without their consent.  It never occurred to me though that we would have to receive permission to film inside the building if it is for a school project.
I took it upon myself to contact the man in which I was directed to, but our daily schedule did not seem to match each other.  I first went to his office after class on Friday, thinking that asking in person would be highly favorable towards my agenda.  Sadly, he was in a meeting and could not be disturbed.  I then decided to email him.  After a few hours he emailed me back and told me to call him.  Well, I called him but only got his voicemail.  I do not like playing this game of tag with the deadline of the PSA encroaching upon me.  I find it to be quite stressful.
I will try more diligently on the morrow and hope and pray that after we receive permission we can begin filming without any scheduling conflicts.  I only hope that with the weekend wasted we can still pull of an A worthy PSA.
