Unexpected shoot at the Royal Albion/ Concerns about the group

A situation occurred when I was suddenly asked to fill out the risk assessment for one of our shoots that was planned to be shot on the day of asking. This was all very sudden to me as I had not heard anything about any shooting on that day and thus had plans involving family.

Apparently the rest of the group knew about this development since after we filmed the interview with Mark Davyd at the Hotel Du Vin but had failed to notify me of this and thus I had no idea until midday when the filming was scheduled a couple of hours later.

Unfortunately, because of the severely short notice and the plans I had made that were already in motion for the day, I was not able to make the shoot. The shoot was taking place at the Royal Albion Pub where several gigs are held where we had planned to film more footage of the band 'Bonhomie' playing and more interviews with the staff and guests. This was planned several weeks ago before the filming at the Attic with no specific date. I'd hoped to have had some notice in advance as to what date this was, however. It is annoying that i was unable to make the shoot, partly because I feel that I am not helping the team towards our goals, but also because I don't have a first-hand account of how the shoot went to write about and put towards my written mark. All things considered, I was informed that all went well considering the group missing one person.

Despite these issues, I was able to complete the risk assessment for the shoot with relative ease and made sure that we did actually had confirmation of permission like I had done for the shoot at the Hotel Du Vin. Also, apparently

my main concern that has been somewhat prevalent in my time working with this group is our lack of communication. Sometimes I may not be told certain things and have to keep asking for update on what we each need to be doing. This proves very frustrating as sometimes I am left having no clue what I should be doing to help the development of our ideas and the shoots and reaching our final goal at the end. Because of this, I'm worried that my grade will suffer due to lack of proper development and not having the opportunities to §help put something towards the documentary. I am therefore jumping at every opportunity that has not already been taken by another in the group such as sorting out the background jobs such as the risk assessment and making sure that the cameras are properly booked as well as opting to do the narration for the entire documentary, making sure that I have contributed towards a large part of the final documentary whilst also pitching in any research and ideas that are necessary.
