I have used written communication when directing the video 'Why it's Okay to Speak About Mental Health' alongside my partner when we wrote the call sheets and consent forms for our actors. This contributed to the role of director as it made sure that we had formal written consent to use any or all of the footage that the actors were in. This shows good team work, communication and people skills.
I have used written communication with my partner through emails about how we think that something should be edited. I also used email to correspond with the client about scheduling a meeting so that we could pitch to him. This contributes teamwork, communication and planning skills to this job role.
Task 3b- Verbal Communication
I have used verbal communication skills throughout unit 17 whilst again working with my partner to have discussions about the creative side of things, the paperwork and also the editing. I have also used verbal communication with the actors within the documentary style video to tell them where to be and when and also what they should be doing during different shots. This contributes the creativity and leadership that is needed from a director.
I have used verbal communication whilst editing 'Why its okay to speak about mental health' by again communicating with my partner to share our ideas and speaking about some, but not all of the differences in our ideas. Another time in which I used verbal communication was when we had to pitch our ideas to the client who works for Sheffield Flourish.This contributes teamwork and communication to the role.
Task 3c- Practical Production
I have used practical production when out filming footage for the documentary style video 'Why it's okay to speak about mental health'. This contributes to the job role of director as IE had to use leadership and communication skills within this to tell the actors what they should be doing or saying within the shot that was being taken and then actually film them. Directing the actors was important because we needed to make sure that we had them completing the actions that we needed for filming and it was also important as their actions had to match what we saw in our minds and in the storyboards.
I have used practical production as an editor when using Premiere to edit the video 'Why it's okay to speak about mental health' This contributes creativity and imagination. It also contributes high levels of concentration, dedication and commitment.
Task 3d- Creativity
I have used creativity as a director throughout the production of unit 17 by choosing the different locations in which we would film our footage. The locations that we chose were all different places where we thought would be beneficial for our documentary. I have also used creativity during pre-production when I had to draw the storyboards. Our storyboards were one of the most important pieces of paperwork during our project as they contained all the actions that we needed the actors to complete. By choosing the locations, I used creativity but as a director I also showed leadership as I filled in location recces and risk assessments for each location which shows that I adhered to health and safety regulations and made sure that both the cast and crew would be safe.
I have used creativity when editing the footage for unit 17. This again contributes to the role imagination and a vision of what i believe that it should look like.
Task 3e- Gaps
I think the gaps in my skills for both Editor and Director are taking criticism especially on parts of the filming and editing which I thought were really good and in fairness may not have been of the best standard. To further this I think mediating is another task in which I could get better at.
Task 3f- Action Plan
I am going to make sure that I listen to any constructive criticism that is given to me and take it on board. This is to ensure that the end product would be as good as it possibly can, and there would be less arguments. I am also going to learn how to mediate and find ways to get over creative differences in a calm way which again would cause less arguments.
