- Who did you work with and how did you manage the task between you?
I worked with Ben, Daniel, Hannah and Mel to complete our preliminary task. As the group was quite large, we found it easy to allocate the specific jobs required, without having to do more than one job each. I was in charge of directing and filming the sequence on the day, Daniel and Ben were acting, Mel was in charge of the sound and Hannah took the role of the PA. As we only had an hour to plan our sequence, we did not spend too much time discussing the allocation of roles; we seemed to all fall into our positions comfortably and we were all happy to do what we had to.
- How did you plan your sequence? What processes did you use?
During the hour we had to plan our sequence, we came up with the basic plot together. Ben drew out the storyboard, enabling us to visualise the shots we were going to take. Mel and Hannah came up with the different types of shots we would have to include and I produced the shooting script from that. Ben and Daniel were also in charge of writing up the dialogue together, seeing as they were the actors. During this discussion, we also considered the different locations we could use to best suit our shoot. However, we found that one hour was not enough time to finish all of our planning so we decided to hold a group meeting. The duration of this group meeting was spent doing a location recee and a physical walkthrough of the script and camera shots once we found the right setting. I found this extra time very useful as we were able to finalise our storyboard and scripts to the point where we all felt confident about the task at hand.
