My plan was to film on the 24th and 25th of November: allowing me 2 solid weeks to edit the film and ensure I wouldn't have to rush it, however with 2 days left until I would be filming and no response to my ad I chose to postpone the filming until the following week: 2nd and 3rd of December. This gives an extra week for my advert to hopefully draw in some applicants and I can spend this time working on my essays and digital news edit.
I was reluctant to do this though as I really didn't want to have to begin editing so close to the deadline. I am very confident though in my editing skills and I reckon I can have it nice and polished by the deadline if I put all my time in the final week towards it. So I need to have all other projects finished before then to provide myself with that luxury.
This is entirely my fault though: I posted the application on the 17th November: 7 days before I was supposed to film. A week isn't long enough really to get the message out there and I really should have done at least a week or two before this: ideally at the start of November or even earlier.
A huge lesson has been learnt from this! Hopefully next time I won't be as complacent and lose track of time as I have done.
So next step: Finish both the essays.
