Evaluation of filming process

Our group consisted of Dylan, Catherine, Jennifer, Paige, Ismail and Matt. This presented a problem because their were so many of us in the group. We decided to do two meetings and split group and give each of us the chance to experience a diffferent role in the filming process. The film would be a short 5 minute clip of a meeting. In the first meeting we had Catherine, Dylan and Jennifer as actors, Ishmail as the camera man and Matt producing. This meeting focused on an investment scam entrapping the main protaganist Dylan and Catherine, Jennifer the scammers. The script was made in collaboration by Catherine and Matt with creative input from the whole group. In the filming we used a tripod to ensure continuity in the cinematography. In evaluation this extract was pulled off successfully, however the group as a whole could have done more planning in the beginining and tried to co ordinate cohesively as a unit. In my responsibilities as producer i should have taken a greater control of procedings and a script on time.

In the second extract the meeting was a drugs deal. With Ishmail and Matt as lead protaganists, Catherine directing, Jennifer as camera women and Dylan as producer. Due to the lack of time and overall lack of imangination and creativity this was less successfull in its purpose. In evaulation this taught me a lesson in time management and producing a quality product consistently. As a group this was less successfull because not everybody had a say in procedings or input. In my responsibilties for this extract i only put in a limited amount of effort, in the future for development personally i should try to be more consistent under pressure. Using technology in this task i learnt i needed to practice more with a flip camera, filming a extract. With the editing process though i do no how to use imovie i need to practice that as well so not to forget components.
