how well the group managed time: ella spruce

Our group tried to manage time as well as we could. We made a very specific filming schedule and planned it on a day that had good weather and no rain. we managed to almost completely stick to our schedule but we were stuck with what to do when the historians we were interviewing and the Farnham history museum didn't show up at our arranged and scheduled time. Although we were rather annoyed we carried on as normal, and rearranged the interview for the week after our filming day. We found it to be quite selfish of the interviewees to not show up after having organized the meeting a week ago. waiting a week to get the footage of them gave us a shortage of time to get the editing done. Over all we didn't manage our time as well as we could have and we should try harder to manage our time well next time.

How well the group managed people: ella spruce

whilst filming our documentary we had to deal with all sorts of people. We had to deal with people walking into our shots whilst we were filming on the street by letting them pass if they wanted to and not getting agitated by them.We also had to deal with the stress of finding out that the people we needed to interview had not shown up, we just politely asked if we could call them and ask for another date. We had to make sure we were very calm and not rude. We also had to finally interview the people at the history museum in Farnham, and i wasn't there to help. We then ended up getting very quiet footage of them speaking, due to Ryan not wanting to be rude and tell them to speak louder. He should have politely asked them to speak louder after doing a sound check. This is what i will do next time if there is a next time. Filming for the whole day meant we were going to all be spending a lot of time together, and making a lot of fast decisions that all needed to be agreed on. This was difficult as a lot of the filming went sketchy, and the interviewees didn't show up, but we managed to stay calm and collected and allowed ourselves an hour and a half break to make sure we were relaxed and able to carry on as normal. Over all we managed people during our filming well and had a good time doing it!
We struggled a bit during the production work and editing with sharing the work out and getting it finished. we experienced some technical difficulties with the mac which made it a struggle to finish the editing that was due in that week, but we managed to get through it using planning and breaks in between.
