1. Things to take into
consideration..
As part of our planning my group
member and I, looked at some problems
that could occur during the production
of the opening of the film

2. Organisation
• Not having permission to film in location
• Forgetting equipment
• Losing equipment
• Not knowing what you're doing on shoot or why
• Actors/team members turning up late/or not all to shooting days
• Wasting time on the shoot
• Taking long in doing things

3. Communication
• Not explaining yourself properly
• Not speaking out
• Losing patience with the people you're working with
• Actors/team members not answering their phones or responding
• Arguments in group
• Last minutes changes without a group discussion and/or agreement
• Actors not enjoying what they're doing/being bored or annoyed
• Absentees not communicating to the rest of the group to find out or
explain what's going on or why

4. Technical
• Batteries not charged
• Inexperienced on how to use the equipment
• Not checking camera settings
• Poor sound
• Shaky camera
• Poor framing/position
• Limited variation of shots & angles movements
• Lack of consideration for continuity issues
• No healthy and safety issues understanding
• Breaking the camera

5. Group
• People lacking on contribution to planning, production and/or evaluation
• People being lazy
• Division of the group (or worse! Group falling out completely)
• Not sharing the "boring" jobs
• Not everyone doing equal amounts of shooting/editing/lighting/directing,
etc
• Not listening
• Not compromising
• Getting stroppy
• Not being supportive of each other
• Making it "personal"
• Making excuses instead of getting work done
• Being rude to a group member
• Allowing personal problems dominate proceedings
