Role Throughout Production and Improving Next Episode

My role in the beginning of the production was sound supervisor and working with some of marketing of the series. I was in-charge of the music for each episode and from the very start the group knew what they wanted and I had to go find it. I found the tracks that we wanted but they needed to be cut down so I needed to email the artists and ask permission to whether I could use their track and cut it down for out episodes. I thought that the best way to find the bands was to us MySpace and then find a free download and cut it down from there. After I downloaded them I would then put them into Garageband, cut them down and then export them as an mp3, ready to be given to the editor.
As for my other role as assistant with the marketing, someone else started off making all of the others sites so I no longer needed that role. However, throughout the whole production I have worked with the Facebook account to promote the series and get fans to become interested and want to continue to watch.
I managed to pick up a new role as the project started to develop. We had discovered that we had missed out a major role of the production and that we needed to assign it or we would get nothing finished. I took up this role and it was production manger. This role consisted of making all of the forms for the production, such as, permission slips, model release forms and risk assessments. This role I have kept all the way through the production of the first episode and I think that I really want to carry on with the role for the next episode. It takes plenty of patience to complete all of forms and especially as our group wanted to do many shoots and borrow a lot equipment. I think that I have completed this role really well and I think that the group has appreciated me doing it.

It is now coming close to the airing of the second episode, as we need to have it uploaded on Tuesday. I think that we have a lot to organize and there are certain things that we need to complete before we can even think that we have it done in time. We have not yet planned our next shoot, as other members of the group have mentioned that some of our actors can not be available. This is a big issue because we only have one day to shoot and if we do not finish the shoot by Tuesday, we will not have enough footage to edit and therefore deadline will be missed again. I think that we could solve this by trying to get these actors in any brakes they have, make the forms and make sure that we work hard and get the footage that we need. I think that biggest issue that we will have is that we are not very organized and this has really let down our first episode. We need to have more meetings so that everyone knows exactly what is going on, who is doing what and when the deadlines are for these tasks. We need to organize when we want equipment, well in advance and make sure that we give equipment to reliable people. This will help the shoots go a lot smoother and help to give people plenty of notice. I think that another good thing for us to do is to make sure that we know exactly what content we can have and knowing where it will be viewed, that we have the appropriate content. For example, no swearing as it will be shown to a public audience.
The best thing that our group can do to make sure that we meet the deadline, is to be a lot more organized and in doing so then make sure that these task are fully completed, rather than having a calm attitude that time can be wasted.
