Health and safety. Harry

The health and safety procedures we followed, were simply looking for potential dangers and avoiding them as best we could. We referred often back to the regulations, and made sure while filming up and down stairs that a level of responsibility and safety was maintained. We avoided any injuries effectively.

How well the group managed problems. Harry

We managed problems fairly well. Such problems were when we couldn't get hold of a skateboard. We just improvised and changed the script so that we would dance instead of using the skateboard. Also weather changes sometimes proved a problem, as one moment it would be sunny, but another it would be raining, so for the sake of continuity we had to agree very quickly on what weather we would film in and what angles we could use to compensate for changes in lighting, for example standing in the way of the sun so as to reduce glare, or block the rain to protect the camera.  Luckily we avoided most of these problems.

How well the group coped when problems arose - Becky

Our group have to overcome a few different problems within our group, for example the weather change and changing our idea as we weren't able to get hold of a skateboard. Our group handled them well by agreeing about how we were going to change the idea and what different camera angles we planned on using.The weather we were able to work with but we knew that we had to film quick as we needed the film to be all done in the rain otherwise we knew that the film wouldn't flow as it would be half in the rain and half in the sun. We dealt with the problems well.

One of the tasks was to create a risk assessment, with the health and safety rules in mind. Whilst filming we referred back to the risk assessment making sure we did not get injured. Our group managed to be successful throughout our filming, whilst overcoming the weather in which we had. As we filmed outside walking up and down stairs, whilst it was raining we needed to make sure that all the actors were safe.

How well the group managed health and safety. - Cheryl

We created a risk assessment that outlined certain risks that could occur whilst filming. We took into account tripping hazards and weather conditions. When filming we made sure to make sure we kept an eye on where we stepped to avoid tripping. Also, we handled the equipment with care, looking out for wires. We made sure we where lifting correctly. We had no injury's or accidents that occurred when filming. This means we were successful in keeping ourselves safe.

How well our group managed equipment - Becky

I think our group managed equipment well by all deciding which equipment we each thought would work best to help produce our TV advert. We chose to just use the video camera without a tripod. This was so we were able to get a variety of different camera angles. We were able to hire out the equipment well and sign the book, we each took it in turns to collect the equipment and sign it out under our own name. This taught us to know how to collect the equipment we wish to use.

How well the group managed time - Becky

I think the group managed time well by setting and meeting the deadlines in which we set. We found that by splitting the work equally it would be easier to be able to meet the deadlines roughly around the same time. We decided to have a back up plan in which would be used if one of our group members were off sick. We found out that this planned worked well as it made the other group members still able to get on and meet the deadlines. This then still meant that the other group members work/grade would not be effected with someone being off ill. We were all able to meet the deadlines and able to complete each piece of work and move quickly onto completing the next one.

How well the group manged people: Cheryl

For our TV Advert we will need to manage people. These include actors and crew. To contact potential stars our group messaged and talked to the actors face to face asking them if they would want to appear in our advert. Everyone we talked to agreed to be in our advert. As a group we worked well together to manage people and ourselves. There where no problems in our group.

How well the group managed time: Cheryl

We managed our time by setting clear deadlines for every member in our group. The work was split equally meaning that everyone's deadline where roughly the same. We created a contingency plan that states back up plans for any issues that may arise. These includes, illness and transport issues. With the plan and clear deadlines set we, as a group, manged our time well.

How the group managed people : Becky

Within the group we decided what each of us thought were our own strengths and weaknesses so we would then be able to do our best within the work choice that we would make. This then gives each of us an equal chance in doing what we would like to do. Both me and Harry were new to the Media Btec course, whereas Cheryl did Level 2 last year. This meant that we were able to get help and guidance from Cheryl as well as Lawrie and Karina. I think our group did well on deciding which task each of us were going to do, considering one of use would sometimes end up having to do a smaller extra task, although we did try to split the tasks fairly.
We made the decision that each of us would have some sort of big writing task, making it fair and so that the work amount would be spread equally between us three.
We eventually had to use ourselves to star in the advert, due to the small amount of time we had to film the advert.
