Our group (Q) consists of 4 members. We believe that the easiest way to work the most efficiently together was to split the roles in the group. We all worked on the story board and story line together. We then split up for the filming. We originally decided to produce two different parts of filming and then put the best bits of film together. But this caused some difficulty as the actors and location wouldn't match up and would look very odd. To overcome this problem, Hayley and Sasha, focused on the filming while myself and Sophia focused on blogging and planning.
I think we work well together as a group and get along well. As a group I think we find it easy to ask each other questions about the work we've produced and we communicate effectively.

Roles of the group
Our group (Q) has decided to split the roles in the group. We originally decided to do some filming each in pairs but we soon realised that if we put our best shots together the actors and location wouldn't match up correctly. So instead myself and Sophia have focused mainly on the planning and blogging, while Hayley and Sasha have focused on the filming and editing. We find this to be a good balance in the group and are working well together.
