We managed the group dynamics by coming up with ideas of the narrative together, we tried to half the workload between us, but the filming was more of my role, and my partner did more of the editing. However we were always there when doing both roles and also helped immensely when each of us didn’t know what to do.

We managed the equipment and resources, by a responsible person looking after/guarding it the whole time it was in our possession, and also it had to be transported by car to and from location as it couldn’t be taken on public transport as the equipment is very expensive and we didn’t want to damage it.

We managed the interim deadlines, by starting the work that was needed in the next task during the time between deadlines, this would speed up the work that we needed to do, and ensure that we didn’t miss a deadline.

I filmed all of the establishing shots, that none of the actors were present, which consisted of the location that we filmed.
I filmed all the scenes with the Father and his Daughter, and some of the scenes with the killer and her victim.
I also chose the music in the editing and also placed all the captions in the opening credits.
Amy filmed most of the scene with the killer and her victim; she also did most of the editing, including putting shots together making the scene continuous and also adding visual effects.

My methodology was very driven and I was also very good at coming up with new ideas for the narrative.
My partner, Amy, wanted everything to be perfect and spent a lot of time in the editing suite to do so.
I personally thought that we both could help the other in their weaknesses and overall worked very well together in a team.

The health and safety and logistical problems that we overcame were that one of our actors were dragged on the floor, we tried to reduce injury by sliding our actor on a skateboard.
There is also use of a knife; we solved this health and safety problem by using a fake knife.
A logistical problem occurred during editing, as it is a very complex operation, we had to take it one step at a time otherwise the sequence would be muddled.

The digital technology enabled us to develop creatively, through the use of camera and editing, in ways that we could film on the side streets of Camden, and with use of a wide angle lense, we were able to get a wider view of shot and so we were able to get more in shot. In editing we were able to add fades, dissolves, and fast cuts from one shot to another which adds a layer of professionalism, and highlights that time and effort were spent into making the film.

Our creative flow was prevented, as we were unable to take our equipment with us on public transport, meaning that we felt rushed when filming, and also we could have filmed inside the underground just to add realism in the micro-cosmic world we have created. Also that lack of new technology that the camera didn’t have, prevented our creative flow, such as shooting in Full HD, and meant that when editing we were unable to slow some shots down without it pixelating, and distracting the audience from the film. Also during the editing process we wanted to use more effects that the program ‘Adobe Premiere Pro’ doesn’t contain, as it is a very old version.

During our research stages, we used technology from the internet to investigate other thriller clips, such as YouTube, such as ‘Psycho’ and online movie and TV streaming services, such as ‘The Purge’ and ‘Hannibal’ the TV series, I have also watched a few films that were connected to the genre on Television, including ‘Black Swan’.
When making our research questionnaires and evaluation graphs we used the computer to do so, this included ‘Microsoft Word’ to write our ideas down and also finally make a questionnaire, we then used ‘Microsoft Excel’ to put our data we collected from the questionnaires into readable graphs.
