Shots We Still Need To Film

Here is a table of shots that Bella had sent me that consist of all of the shots that my group and I still need to shoot. This makes it easier for us to know what we have shot and what we still have to go. After this, we are able to go back and look at some shots that we may need to re-film (which would be a nightmare for us but if it has to be done, it has to be done).

Group Work Reflection

I think that my group and I work reasonably well. We all have different kinds of creativity and ideas to input into our film. Minnie is a good actress and inputs some ideas into storyline, she's also very honest when we may have taken a really bad shot or something just isn't right. Bella is super duper organised; she always reminds us when to pick up the tripod, lights and camera. She also doesn't mind taking props home, and she always makes time to be creative with some shots that we took. Bella and I work (weirdly) together. I have trouble with coming up with some new and creative shots, so Bella does that, and a very good job of it too. Then, I bounce off of her ideas and make them more symbolic, and add a little more spice to them, if that makes sense. I am also a perfectionist so if something is out of whack or a little dodgy, I suggest ways to make the shot look more clean. Libby is also a very hard worker, she gets her work done and is probably as organised as Bella. She also lives really close to where I am, only a tram-ride away. So we get together on weekends to get our FTVNM work finished together.

I really think our group is well-organised and we input different things to our film. We bounce off each other and make sure that we are on top of things.
