3.2 Qualities needed to work well with others

How did you show the following

• Good timekeeping
• Being reliable
• Teamwork
• Sharing ideas
• Safe working

I kept track off my time and made sure that the incubus prop was made before the day of the shot, there might have been a few technical problems with the prop on the day but we were able to quickly fix it and it didn’t delay the production. I made sure that I arrived at every BFI lecture 20 minutes before it started so we wouldn’t be late and delay production. There might have been a few days where I couldn’t turn up or had to leave early but I made sure I let everyone know a week in advance so my absence won’t affect production. I think I was reliable because I made sure to help out whenever I could and complete my tasks to my best ability. I work well with others when making the incubus and tried to get everyone involved with the construction. I constantly shared my progress on the Animation and asked peoples opinions and made decisions based on what everyone agreed on. I would always share my ideas when it was needed and listened to what others thought. I made sure when making the incubus that we did it safely for example when spray painting, we did it outside.

3.3 Working collaboratively on your film production

I worked closely with my production team and we collectively came up with ideas for the style of the incubus, I made sure to listen to other peoples ideas. Onset when script supervising I had to work alongside the director and I made sure to write down her thoughts on each scene. I worked closely with Alic when making the incubus and we came across a few problems, for example, we didn’t have a hair dryer to mold the Foam on the helmet. we overcame this problem by adding a piece of metal under it to change the shape of the foam. to improve my ability with others I should share more ideas with the group and contribute more to group discussions.
