Unfortunately, we had a great production plan put in place, and we did not follow through with it. Prior to the production of our pilot episode, obviously, we had a a brief period of pre-production planning. At the time, it felt like we really had done enough to complete an episode that was to our standard. I won’t go into too much detail regarding the experience, as I will go through it in my reflection post.

In particular, just for this post, i’ll talk about how we handled production roles. Before going onto set, we assigned each of our crew members a role. It was very clear who was doing what, and everyone was quite obviously on the same page with everything. This was until it came to actually being on the set. When it came to finally shooting, I think all of us were quite overwhelmed with what we needed to do, that we all ended up just trying to help each other in our different roles. As of now, we have learnt that that was NOT the way to go.

To put it in a very simplified way, all of us tried to do everything, and essentially ended up doing nothing. Nothing is probably a bit of an exaggeration, but we didn’t achieve nearly as much during filming, or achieve anything of our own personal standards. We aren’t being too hard on ourselves however, it was our first attempt, and if anything, we’ve learnt exactly what not to do as we continue this project.

Here’s to better organisation, and here’s to moving forward!
