Overall every member contributed to the directing, filming, and mies-en-scene of our preliminary task. Me and Wik were very enthusiastic when finding the right areas for specific shots inside our filming location (Keystone Youth Centre), whilst Emma looked after our cast and props. There was a problem in casting as Sam was notified of the shooting times too late, so we made the decision to ring someone we knew of good acting ability and who lived close - leading to Bgent being played by Josh Mirabueno; plus we shouldn't have assumed Keystone would have been open all night as we almost ran out of time to film.
Wik was very comfortable with using the camera and definitely had an idea of how she wanted our actors to come across - me and her both being wanting to be precise in even the angling of the folders and chairs. Emma also created an extra prop we had forgotten to bring by whipping out her red pens and making a 'FAILED' page for Bgent to pass to Agent. I would also say that I was quite passionate about the mies-en-scene, taking multiple shots to have certain objects and characters in the same places as the previous shots taken. Although we all admittedly forgot most camera movements, we are all very pleased with how our filming came out.
For the future, we will try and be more prepared with gathering cast and checking times for filming (plus make a list of props to check we are properly prepared!)
