2. How well did you plan Your production and what
methods did you use?
The production was planned quite well we had about three
weeks to conjure up an idea. We started to brain storm our
idea by using a A3 sheet of paper to write down where we
were going to film what props we needed and how may
characters there would be. Once we had finalized our idea,
each of us had a certain task to complete such as writing
the script, going to the places we where going to film take
pictures and write a report and the framework. I had the
duty of doing the framework. We then discussed on who
was going to act film or be the director. Our discussions
were quite simple and everyone knew what they had to do.

3. What influenced your choice of theme?
When first coming up with an idea there were only two of
us, but an idea quickly sparked and we came with an idea
which we soon named the debrief. We were quite
interested in spy movies and so decided that as the task
was to have two people talking to each other that we would
have two agents talking about a certain mission. Soon our
group was joined by two others who then contributed to
the idea by coming up with thoughts that could be
interpreted into the script.
Through this project we wanted to demonstrate how
creative we could be and the techniques that we used when
filming and how well our group could work together.

4. Was this an effective method?
 It was an effective method as it allowed our idea to
broaden as each of us were pitching ideas that would
work with the project. This helped to reduce conflict
between us and get the job done quickly.

5. How well did your product meet the original
proposal?
Our original proposal didn’t quite go as planned we had tried to film our project at
a café but there were some complications with scheduling. However we came
across a new solution which was to film at The Highgate Literary and Scientific
Institution where one of our group members mum works which was very
convenient.
We had many ideas to work with involving the equipment we had, but we were not
able to obtain all our equipment so we worked with what we had and results
turned out great.
