R&P Post 33: Reflections on my Role and Contribution During Research and Planning

I think that each member of my group has contributed equally to our project, below I have written about my personal contribution to the research and planning of our project.

1) I created the shootboard and used post-it notes to colour code our shots. This helped me put my ideas down onto paper and allow my group to have a visual of what I thought we were trying to achieve.

2) The facepainting was originally my job until we disregarded the idea but I then took control of doing make-up for our actors and myself.  This was quite a time-consuming task however after having spent time face-painting individuals, doing Luke and Seb's make-up was quite effortless in comparison!

3) Amber and I were in charge of collecting paper every lunch time which was a very time-consuming process but worth it as it will make the post-production stage a lot easier.

4) I also split the job of creating the website with Amber so we each drew out and created 2 web pages each and we all contributed to the home page collectively. Dividing this task between the two of us reduced our individual workload and ensured that we were constantly communicating with one another and Alistair to make sure we all liked the idea.

5) I was in charge of keeping our actors aware of when they were needed and what for. I also had to direct Luke as we thought it would be more efficient if only one of us instructed him and gave him direction during shooting.

6) I acted in our shoot which really raised my confidence and meant that none of us were never doing anything as when Amber and I were acting Alistair was able to shoot. This also meant that I was able to guide Luke and Seb as I was in a similar position to them.

7) On the rooftop I also shot most of Luke's single shots as neither myself or Amber could film whilst performing for obvious reasons so I embraced the opportunity to film when we weren't in shot.
