For my short film preliminary project I worked in a group of 3 with Sam and Shaakira. On the first day we were filming Shaakira wasn't in so we had to do as best as we could with only 2 people. We hadn't planned previous to the day we started filming, which we should have done because then our work would have been more organised and we would have been properly prepared on the day. We also had to use someone else to do the filming for us, which didn't work out too well as they didn't shoot a lot of camera angles and a lot of the shots were shaky. Our idea itself was alright but nothing really to do with what we had to do.
   When we looked back at our footage we didn't really have a lot so when Shaakira came back the next day we filmed some more. The editing went really well and no problems occurred at all during the time. We all worked well together and there were no arguments or disagreements at all. When we created the opening titles, we wanted to do more with them to make it more exciting but we had a limited amount of time so we had to leave them as they were
   From doing the preliminary task I have learnt a lot. I have learnt that I should plan what I am doing in advance to avoid complications like this time and I should also be prepared for unforeseen situations like having a missing member of the group. I should have also thought about what we actually needed to do as part of the task instead of focusing too much on the storyline.
