Out of our presentation, some things emerged. Namely, the location of Hosier Lane being a suitable one. As we need a close off space for the shoot, Hosier Lane was a lot busier than what I had thought. Even the side street of the main laneway was prone to disruption.
Other points that were raised were the ‘pulse’ effect from the fluorescent lights in Flinders Subway which may affect the video recording (thanks Tessa!). San had a good suggestion in getting us to wear yellow vests to signal to passers-by that we were doing something ‘official’.

Today, in our group was our first point of conflict. A crew member turned up late for our group presentation and chose to read work that myself and Sean had written and without our consent or even reference to us. I had told this person to write the story, to put it into a paragraph in their own words but they did not. I was not happy about this and I took them to task for plagiarism.

They didn’t understand that this was the case, that they had no choice but to read it because they hadn’t been present during the drafts of the story.  Eventually, Rohan had to intervene and agreed that what they had done was indeed plagiarism. Rohan cautioned them for their lateness and lack of contribution.
Thankfully, everything was smoothed over but I do find it frustrating when someone in a group does not pull their weight. I concede that I should’ve given them written instructions as to what they should’ve done for our presentation.
