First skills audit for the G321 Foundation Production

When I first looked at this piece of coursework I was quite worried that I wouldn’t be able to keep up with everything we had to do. I knew that there wouldn’t be many problems within the group such as deciding whose role would be whose or planning our short film, but as there was a lot to go through, time keeping was my main priority.

However, I think that I used my skills to my advantage to help keep the deadlines as I was the script writer. I had had previous experience in both dialogue scripts and camera scripts so it was easy for me to develop them quite well. I also took to consideration what everyone had already discussed in the planning such as the characters dominants etc.

I made sure that for the preparation of our short film, everyone would have a say to what they wanted to see in the final piece. Therefore, when I wrote the script, I wrote a draft first before checking with everyone in the group agreed with it and if they wanted to change anything or add anything to it.

When I wrote the script, I made sure that I had researched enough to get ideas for it. I looked at other peoples final pieces of ‘the meeting’ and programmes that had the same theme as the one we are planning on doing. This allowed me to write a script that showed a clear dominance in one of the characters.

I thought id communicated pretty well in our group which helped a lot when it came to meeting the deadlines. As there was a lot to do, everyone had there own things to do and made sure the group was happy with what they had done. For example, me and another member of the group booked the location where we wanted our film to be done in.

When it came to filming our piece I think I did a pretty good job. As my role was not the director I made sure I didn’t force anything on the group and gave my advice when necessary. I let the director do that they needed to do and didn’t get in their way.

Over all, I think that I have overcame my first perception of this piece as me and my group have gone beyond the deadline so have more than enough time to edit and evaluate what we have filmed.
