Prep: Blog Entries 2nd March PJ Roden

1.i foundgroup dynamics, equipment and resources, interim deadlines and the necessary collaborative nature of film making tricky as it was my first time but have got more use to it. I foudn it tricky as you haveto make sure that you and your partner (jaime) work well togethere which i think we did and we split the jobs between us to make it easier for us. If i am honest i foudn using the camera hard to get use to but eventually i have got use to it and now i find it fine. We had allot of resources available to us through the school as Gordonstoun offer allot as we have woods many houses fields and roads. The deadlines were tricky though as there is so much to do in such little time.
2. the health and safety issues that we had to solve were few but the one that we had a little problem was with filming Mori on the road to make sure he was not in the way of traffic and we had no problem with this but none of the less made sure there was no traffic interefering.
3. The people involved in the production were me Jaime mrs downs who helped us organise it Mori and the women from the San. We had no problems with Mori or Janya fitting in time time to help us and we told them in advance so that they could help us and mrs downs helped us fit in extra filminf time which helped us allot.
4. Getting our actors was easy as we only needed two and they made themselfs avaiblable to us we had to chnage our setting from G house to Altrye as Altrye is set out better for us as the room we filmed in is closer to the kitchen compared to that of G house. we had a costume looked out for mori from Altrye an old pin stripped suit which was good for hsi image we were creating which was a scruffy image.
5. our shootign script and storyboard had no problems apart from we had to chanage our shootign script at oen point as each actors conversations didnt link up the way we wanted but we changed this.
6. time managment was an issue becuase we thought we had more time than we did and s we had a rush in filming but we still had enough time to do our filming and we have a week and a half to finish editing so it looks for the future for us.
