In order to produce our final advert we had to use equipment such as the Macs and a camera in order to firstly record our advert and then later edit it, and we managed the equipment fairly well. I took on the role of main editor as I felt that my abilities to edit in our group were the strongest and both Alice and Mia agreed, and I managed to edit it fairly quickly and easily.
When filming, the camera we initially had, battery died so we had a big problem as if we didn't get the filming done we would have no footage and therefore no final piece. We solved this problem by using a camera that one of us owned and despite the quality of the footage being lower than it would've been if the original camera hadn't died, we still had a decent amount of footage to make a good advert.
Overall, I believe our group managed equipment well, given that we experienced a problem which could have resulted in us not having a final piece and we managed to get around that obstacle with minimal difficulty.

How our group managed the time-Mia Rumpson
Overall I thought that are group managed time very well.First of all we divided the tasks amongst ourselves evenly.We decided on the tasks that each of us would do by giving each person a harder more complex task then a more simpler task.Then for the remaining tasks we would just distribute between us.Dividing the tasks equally helps us plan the creation of the advert.I think we separated the tasks according to each members or our groups strengths for example jessie has more creative tasks as thats her main strength.From all of these points these are just a range of reasons why i think our group managed the time well and got the work done.
How we have managed people: Jessie
We have managed people by splitting the tasks up according to what we believed we would find easiest/would be best at doing and we also split the equally or roughly so we each had the same workload.
We have also split up the tasks so that rather than one person having all of the difficult tasks, they have been divided between each of us so we all have tasks of varying difficulty/length. We asked people to take part in our advert and spoke to them about the roles that we needed them to take up, as well as when we would need to rehearse or meet up.
We spoke to each other within the group to clarify whether we thought something was going to work out, and if not we spoke up so that we could make changes to enable us to continue with minimal disruption.

How well the group managed time; Alice
Our group managed time relatively well. In the group we divided the tasks between the three of us. We tried divide them equally so each person had the same if not similar amount of tasks to do. We also divided the tasks so we each had a more complex and time consuming task and more easier task to do as well. If one of us found a task to difficult then we would ask someone else in the group if they understood it and if they would swap a task with them so everyone was happy and so the work would get done.
We worked relatively quickly through the pre-production work. Mia, Jessie and I worked individually on our tasks we were given and occasionally helped each other when we were unsure and were stuck on what to do. Due to the fact that we chose our tasks based on our strength we felt comfortable doing it and managed to complete it in the time period we had to do it in. When it came to planning for our advert we all had very similar ideas and we agreed on nearly everything, so choosing the style of our advert, shots used and the general plot was quick and easy.
The filming and editing took the most amount of time. We had to wait for all of the actors to be there. They all arrived at different times which made the amount of time we had filming even shorter. Some of our actors had a curfew so we had to make sure we had to finish filming before then. A major problem occurred when the camera battery died and there wasn't enough time to charge it before the actors had to leave. We solved this problem by using another camera which belonged to one of us. The quality wasn't as high but it meant that we would actually get something filmed.
Jessie was our main editor and she felt slightly more comfortable using it than me and Mia at the time. It took Jessie less time to edit the whole advert together than it would of if I was editing it. All of the clips had just enough time to fit all together perfectly and were easy to edit together.
Overall, I think that my group managed time really well. I think this because we agreed on nearly everything, were worked really hard and concentrated on the tasks we were given and we managed to complete them in the time period we were given.
