The Pre-production process was a long one, in which my group and I worked hard to ensure that things ran smoothly on the day of shooting and the chaotic week leading up to it. I believe that because we assigned an equal measure of tasks to everyone to fit their strengths, it was overall: an effective process. Danielle (being very organised) was our producer so she was in charge of the overall organisation of the folder and was a key part of discussions where we decided what props, costumes and make-up we would need. Leo had a direct interest of the technicalities of sound in film so was head of make-up and sound. Millie: being very focused, was made assistant director and assistant producer where she proved to be very useful and a key part of discussions. I was director, where though a lot of my work would be on the shooting day, i also had the privilege of being the story board artist, while also constructing the shot sequence, timing and writing the script . I believe that points in which we struggled were that because everything relied on all four of us being efficient, if one person was ill or had not been able to do the work, then it was effectively incomplete and would possibly delay the work in the lesson.
