Production

As there were a considerable more amount of us in the production group when filming the busted video then there were when it was our final A2 video, I was forced to learn to listen to everyone else's opinions, and work as a team together to get everything finished on time.
The shooting of the video went successfully, we only needed a lesson and a half to shoot it all in. Due to our organisation, we knew we had to shoot all the shots from for example the front of the classroom together, and then move on to shooting shots from the back of the room. As a lot of us were in the video, and we all had different roles, often we would swap round who was on the production side of the shooting, and who was actually being filmed. For example, once all of my scenes were filmed I then started to help with the production, playing the video on the over head projector when the others wanted to see it to help their performance.
We also joined with the other group to shoot the final scene. The outside shot with the boys jumping in the air with their guitars and all of the students behind dancing required more people then just our individual group. Therefore we played the students in the background for the other group, and they returned the favour.
Nothing major went wrong when filming, a few people that had been away the lesson before didn't know to bring uniform and therefore weren't in costume for the filming; this illustrated to us that next time we need to ensure everyone, even those who were away know exactly what happened in lesson and what had been planned for the next one.
