First skills audit for the G321 Foundation Production

When informed about the coursework I was quite happy with the task at hand. I felt that I had grasped the idea of the coursework and that I would be able to perform strongly, producing a strong piece of work. I think that the initial skills and planning that was done by the group, went well. We made a group decision about our preliminary exercise quickly, and this allowed to jump straight in and begin planning where to film, and how to go about it. The research our group has done, is strong and backs up our ideas well. This has given us a strong idea of the exact audience that would watch the programme from which our 'clip' has come from. I think that my skills vary dependent upon which section of the preliminary task am asked to focus on. I personally felt that writing the script would be my strongest point, as I am an English Language student, and therefore I have experience in this particular area. However it was decided by the group that my main focus should be on camera work, thus allowing me to attempt something new. Seen as I am yet to of filmed our production, I haven't faced any major problems yet, although I am slightly worried about what to do when it comes to filming. I have never filmed an official production, and so it will be an almost entirely new experience. This means I will have to learn how to go about filming the right angles and getting all the correct shots that are needed to get the right effects. To ensure that I am able to for fill the criteria on the set task I will ask for advice from my group members, as I know that one group member has camera work experience and therefore can pass on his knowledge to me. This will help me and prepare me better for the main exercise. So far there have been no major problems within our group, all members have attended the majority of the lessons, and we are all focused, and know exactly what's going on. This has made the pre-production easier going on ourselfs, meaning that we can all focus on the task at hand. I feel that so far our group is doing very well. I think that when it comes to filming our production, the knowledge that I will gain from group members will help me a lot in producing a strong piece of coursework.
