Production Overview and Group Dynamics

Overall, in reflection of the past month, I feel that as a group, we have been very effective in organising and carry out the production stage, and as a result we have experienced only a few minor setbacks and issues.

Through planning the shootboard, shot list, and animatic well in advance, we had  a clear understanding of exactly what we wanted to achieve shot-wise within the studio, and as a result, we were able to work accordingly with our allocated time slots both in the sudio and also on our location shoots.

Furthermore, by attending bi-weekly group planning meetings, we ensured that we were fulfilling the indivdual tasks we set one another to speed up the production process, and make sure that we were putting n an equal level of effort.

For example, we were able to ascertain in advance as to what props, lighting abnd costume would be necessary for the shoot, so that we could use all of these in our rehearsals to test whether they would achieve the look we wanted in the real shoots.

Also, alongside the actual shoot, we assigned one another roles in producing the album cover, website and promotional shots- assigning them in accordance of our individual strengths (e.g. photoshop skills) , in order to ensure that the final products were as professional and effective as possible.
