Media Questions by Jamie Paxton

1) How did you manage the group dynamics, equipment and resources, interim deadlines and the necessary collaborative nature of filming?:
The working in the group was good as far as planning went, PJ and I were good at picking out tasks which each of us could do and getting them done, getting the props for our filming was relativley simple because both PJ and I were able to get what we needed relativley easily and we had chosen very basic props. The actual filming of the story was a lot harder as neither PJ or myself had a very good attitude with regards to getting started, once we did get going PJ decided he was going to direct but didn't communicate very well to me as the camera-man exactly what it was he wanted me to do, however I didn't make any effort to take the intitiative in these situations either and this left us both feeling under pressure.
2) What health and safety logistical problems did you solve?:
There weren't really any health and safety issues involved in the making of our film.
3) How did you organise your human resources- the people involved in the production?:
Our human resources was mainly organised by word of mouth comparisons of free time and snap decisions made with the time available.
4) How did you manage actors, locations, costumes and props?:
I initially wrote the storyline and then we picked Mori out of our class because we thougth he fitted the storyline quite well, we chose Altyre because of PJ's assurance that it would be a good set to film some of our locations on, the refectory because it looks like a resteraunt and the san because it looks like a doctors surgery and fits with the storyline for the other side of the conversation durin the film
