Planning

As a group, when assigning roles, we considered many factors. These were:

- Who had experience in that particular role
- Who possessed the qualities for that role
- How would this impact our film?

Firstly, we assigned off screen roles. Robert was assigned to the role of cinematographer, This is because Robert is very capable with technology and knew how all the equipment worked, so from our groups point of view, this made the most sense because he knew what we wanted to achieve and his technology skills helped us achieve our dramatic intentions from an acting point of view, but also a creative point of view, as he knew what was needed to compose shots and how to shoot them, so for us, that was the most logical choice. Robert also assisted with lighting, being the cinematographer, he knew what lighting worked and what didn't, and our use of non-diegetic made it imperative that our lighting was perfect and matched the scene.

Thor volunteered to do camera work and lighting as this is an area he is particularly interested in and he knew what a scene needed in terms of lighting, and how to achieve the dramatic intentions of the scene through the use of lighting, which made our piece beautifully lit at times. Also, he worked behind the camera along with Robert in terms of camera work and how the film was shot.

In terms of myself, I produced the script and was more hands on with the directing and acting side of the film, although I did aid with lighting and composing shots. This showed my versatility but also desire to be hands on with all aspects of our film, this was important to me as I wanted it to be aesthetic as possible, Also, doing Drama A Level, I know what is pleasing for an audience in terms of dramatic intentions, and these skills were multi changeable with this particular task.
