Working in media production contexts - professional prac

1. How did you manage the group dynamics, equipment and resources, interim deadlines and the necessarily collaborative nature of film-making?

I feel that as a group we managed all of these points really well. We worked as a good team in which we all contributed to ideas, the use of props and how the film would look when its finished. All of us took part in filming the video as a rough idea even though we are not acting in the final outcome. This video rounded up the basic idea and helped us with what needed improving.

2. What health and safety and logistical problems did you solve?

The only health and safety problems that we had to solve was where the furniture was set out in the location in which we filmed. This needed to allow enough space for the actors to move without causing any injuries to themselves and for the filming to take place.

3. How did you organise your human resources - the people involved in the production?

As a group we already knew what sort of characters were needed in order to make the filming as realistic as possible, and we based this on the people we knew. This happened to be my brother and one of his close mates. They were up for acting for us, we also felt that we did not want to be acting in this film as it may not have turned out as good or looked as realistic as it could of.

4. How did you manage actors, locations, costumes and props?

The location of the filming was fairly simple, it took place at the school itself, therefore not a lot of hassle to get to or to film. The actors in the filming were close friends and a family member which meant that they could easily be contacted for when they were needed and ideas could be discussed with them if necessary. The costumes were based on the clothing that the actors already had meaning that we could use their clothing and make it fit into what we were filming. In our group we gathered the props together from what everyone was able to bring in from home, this was important to complete the filming and improve it.
