Mrs Thrasher!

Mrs Thrasher helped me to identify possible problems that i would have during shooting and problems that our group might have too, we then thought about how induvidually we could contribute to avoiding these problems:

1. Bring food and clothes

For the test shoot i brought, several bagels, a flask of tea, chocolate (for dipping) and crisps, plus gloves, scarf, hat and several layers. This meant that on a more practical note, when holding the boom, camera, light or writing the production notes my hands were not cold and i was able to do the job properly.

2. Be Organised

I packed a bag before each shoot this just gone weekend which had everything i needed in it so then we i came to leave i jsut had to pick up one thing. I always had battery and credit on my phone so i could contact other group members if i wanted to change where we were meeting or what time we should get there.

3. Organising the actors

As the actors have signed contracts agreeing to do the shoot we need to keep them informed on when exactly they are needed so that we can avoid waiting around for them to turn up or them getting annoyed because they are standing around not doing anything.

4. Weather

Not much I could do about it, had plastic bags to cover equipment if it started to rain though.

5. Referring to shot list and shoot/view/reshoot

After shooting a specific shot looking back for quality check and referring to shot list so i knew what i wanted to do next.

I think our group worked really well together and the only problem i am really anxious about is the weather as we had very slight drizzle on the test weekend but if it properly rains we won't be able to film at all. x
