Final Year Project rants.
Saturday, November 27, 2010
2 days after Interim one. To be honest, I feel alot of regret. Not regarding about how poorly how I did my work, but why I was not stubborn and persistent. I personally feel that some things I could have done to stop the disaster that I could even see upcoming. I could even remeber telling Wei Ru that confirm, our story sure get changed after interim 1, because it was too unstable. Nothing was even done properly.
No Depth. No soul.
That is simply how I could describe our story.
Honestly, I am finding it very hard to work with Alex. For many reasons. I shall state a couple.
- He does not listen to people suggestions. Be it groupmates or even outsiders.
Comments and suggestions were all brushed aside as he will insist that only he should be writing the script and the final decsision on the story should be his. Because he is the Director as well as script writer.
- He only listens to lecturer comments and uses it wholesale without any thought.
This happens all the time. I often get the impression that he is using the lecturers to think his story from him. But often. Julian and Andrew do not think of the same examples. thus putting them together is simply suicide. Very often.
- He immediately restarts the story without thinking when he realises that the story's BME don't connect. However, he has never made any effort to connect them. This resulted in our story changing 14 times before interim, excluding the story ideas Andrew gave us during our final consultation with him before the interim.
Honestly, I felt very stress. Simply because, each time his draft story is out. Wei Ru and I have to begin pre-production. Location Reccee. Research. Casting. Auditions. Then he restarts it again. We have to redo our whole work. Its like, we keep on working sleepless. Only to realise in 3 days time. Our efforts have all gone to waste.
Normally its ok. Once or twice. but not 14 times. Thats way too much. And one thing about Alex is he refuses to do anything but the script and story. Which he has never progressed at all. Not one bit.
I even have to admit, Zhi Wei is always trying to help. However. He can't. Because everytime we about about to distribute work. He restart. As in Alex. Thus we had no progress at all.
I personally felt I don't think I should bring this up to a lecturer for multiple reasons as well. Some being the moral of the group and I do not wish to have our marks affected. However I do believe there is a limit to everything.
I am personally considering of informing Andrew about the possibility of having roles changed. Because I have behind Alex's back, done story and script. I know this may seem like back stabbing. But I don't think we can leave it as it is. Maybe its like telling a white lie?
But for the sake of the group, I don't think its fair to have one person's own pride and Ego and his own way of doing things drag us all down.
I Think enough is enough. Even if I anger Alex. So be it. I have to make a say someday. And moreover, its for his good. For the group as well.
To be honest. I personally think at the end of this. I might actually be happier. Seriously. I think I might just enjoy trampling all over this useless egoistic man's pride. Seeing it be crushed and abuse. HAhahahaha. Seriously. I think this thought is really motivating. Serious. Hahahahaha. >.<
99% of the guys are scums. :3
