The Chase Task

During the production of my groups version of 'The Chase' I believe that we managed to work together very well and we had next to no arguments as we had agreed on most elements of filming prior to the shoot.
In my group was, AJ Mulley (actor, the theif, and editor), Ryan Weir (actor, the victim, and editor) and Katie Tangl (camera operator).
We managed to stick to our filming schedule and in the end we had time left over to go around our locations again and re-film or film extra shots. We carried out the majority of what we had planned in pre-production, for example, our shot list and our planned locations. As the director i feel that i worked well in my team, as we we're quite an organised team it made the whole production much easier as most of the time everyone knew exactly what they were supposed to be doing. I made sure that whilst we were shooting we did not miss out any shots/locations and kept on schedule.
