Meeting 2

Part 2: pre-production
As a group to make sure we would be ready to make our sequence was to complete pre production work that include location finders checklist, risk assessment and evaluation sheets, final script, storyboard and questionnaire. However due to lack of communication between the group outside of class time the questionnaire was never fully completed and handed out.

Once we had completed all our pre production work and were ready to progress onto the next stage of filming our initial project. I completed my script and presented my ideas to the group and made some changes after receiving their feedback. I was meant to of completed a treatment for the editing and sfx of our film however I had difficultly understanding what to write. Once I had knowledge of what was asked of me, another member of our group had completed that treatment and was found to be satisfactory.
