Reflection for Production Task

Pre-Production/Production reflection/evaluation:

1. Describe any problems or difficulties your group encountered during the planning. These may include; organizational problems, group related issues, etc.
Our group has found it difficult to get together and be able to film. On many occasions, some group members weren't able to meet at certain times or have forgotten their props and costumes, so we have not been able to film or film as much as we would of liked to. Our group had to become a lot more organised and willing to donate their time in order to get our filming complete.
2. Clarify any time-management issues your group encountered during the planning process and describe the steps you implemented to improve in this area;
The time-management issues our group experienced were not all being able to meet at the same time in order to film. By donating our time and using time during and after school, we were able to successfully get our filming complete.
3. Discuss whether your group made effective use of the provided templates to assist the film-making process;
Our group made effective use of the provided templates to assist the film-making process, as we all completed a template each and then put our ideas together. This also helped with timing and made it easier for us to get our work done faster.
4. Explain whether the planning process helped your group during filming. In particular, discuss whether the use of devices such as storyboards, shot-lists, and rough edits assisted throughout the filming process;
During our first stages of filming, the planning process didn't come to much help for us, as we improvised a lot and filmed each scene using a lot of different shots to give us some back-up film and inspiration. However, later, the planning process came to a lot of help for our filming, as we just followed what we had planned and were able to get the filming done a lot faster.
5. Describe any problems or difficulties your group encountered during the filming process. These may include; organization problems, unreliable cast members, group related issues, equipment problems, etc. 
The main problem for our group was organising time to film and all being able to meet at the same time. We also experienced problems with costumes and props, as some group member forgot them at times and we had to improvise. Although, I think our group has worked very well together overall and I have enjoyed working with them.
