Hey guys I need some advice,

I take (actually the correct term is "am forced to take") a class in my school called STEAM (its STEM with an A) and we're doing like a whole TV show-news thing with like lighting, sound, cameras, editors, lots of stuff, etc. anyway. There's a group of my friends, (using their initials), SS, SB, SL, AZ, AT and then me. My best friend out of all of them, SS, and I always work on projects together because we both work at a similar pace, use similiar computer products (Google Drive, windows computers, android devices etc.) and we always do our share of the work. When we did the groups, I was forced to be with SB and AT, who are my friends but who if I had a choice, I'd rather work with SS. anyway, i was like, oh wellllll whatver but one of them, AT, can be extremely annoying. The fact she uses Safari on a regular basis doesn't bother me that much, its when she downright insults Google Drive, saying it's "illogical" when I can understand if it's not the choice of programs but it's definetly not illogical. Okay anyway, she is terrible at the stuff in the class. She's really bad with camerawork (meaning she zooms in and out and moves the camera everywhere and can't keep it steady despite the fact it's on a freakin TRIPOD!), doesn't understand how to switch between videos (even though the teacher gave a thurrow lesson that even Randy or Frank would understand), doesn't contribute to working on the script, keeps screwing up the soundboard WHEN I HAVE ALL THE LEVELS SET PERFECTLY, insists on being the "talent" (people being filmed) but shes well aware that our script is no where near done. Also, we have these professional headset thingys that function sort of like a walky-talkie in where there is a talk button and a call button (the call button produces this annoying little clicky sound). She thinks it's fun to go around to all of these devices and just press the call button and annoy everyone and anyone wearing a headset. It's annoying!

Another thing that seriously bothered me is that for our intro song (for when we were to be the talent) she literally wanted to use the song "Jar of Hearts" by Christina Perri, which is an amazing song and I love it. But that is probably the worst song ever to use as an intro to a NEWS SHOW. You have to pick something HAPPY and CHEERFUL and CATCHY. And not something sad and about a serious heartbreak. And me and SB tried to explain this to her, but she doesn't understand! ITS ANNOYING

im not sure if im really asking for advice or just ranting....either way i feel better... BROFIST
