4. BE ABLE TO REVIEW THE TEAM ACTIVITIES
4.1. Feedback
on own actions in relation to the overall team activities
I did everything required of me for this activity. I sourced and located the props and brought them to the location of production.
What went well: Once filming started there wasn't too many interruptions. What could be improved: Time management, organisation, people expecting others to know everything when said person has given vague instructions, people thinking they are in charge and acting as though they can do no wrong.

This is a short report to
cover the following
*How close was your final
production to the initial ideas that you had?
It was similar, due to the fact they were both zombie movies, but it had some minor differences. Instead of the group going inside, splitting up and then reuniting, it was instead the group dragging their friend away from a zombie chasing them.

*How successful was your
pre production process – evaluate your role then talk about your
contribution to the process
Pre-Production went well with the exception of the screenwriter not turning up resulting in us having to rewrite it in a day. I did well to locate the props with short notice.

*How successful was your pre production process – evaluate your role then talk about your contribution to the process.
My pre-production process was simple and easy. I sourced and located the props used in the film. It wasn't a big contribution but it was an important one as the film would have been completely different without the props I brought in.

* How did you manage your time as a group ? – did you work together to be able to solve any issues or concerns ?
Time was managed but not without it's problems. It took a while to get started because the directors were discussing different locales but once they agreed it went quite quickly, bar a few intrusions.

* What have you learnt from this project about working as a team that you will take on board for your next project ?
That we need to communicate as team better than we did for this. And people need to specify what they want instead of being vague and expecting people to know what they want.
