Whilst making this assignment I learnt the importance of communication when working with a team to create a large film project. I found that our group had a high level of communication and teamwork which made the production process somewhat seamless especially when we weren’t working in class together. I did learn however that planning a long way ahead of time helps with future issues such as limited b-roll available and allows more time if re-shoots are needed.
