Barney Flood - In regard to the construction of the film, I was the director when the filming took place. I explained how we was going to film when we first got to our location and I set Elijah up with the camera for our first take along with explaining what Lucy and Zak needed to do in the first take. As it was being filmed I would tell Elijah when to stop the take and where the characters needed to stop. (I was able to talk whilst were videoing most scenes as I was going to take out the sound when editing so it was fine). After this I then instructed everyone in where we had to go and how each scene was going to be shot. In some cases I had to act out Lucy's role for her, before filming, to give her an idea of what I had expected of her to do. Once all the filming was complete I then took the clips and loaded them onto my memory stick for them to be brought in to school for editing. I then took on the role of editing the entire film which took me about 5 weeks in total - due to a lot of difficulties with the computer we were using. However I was able to get a lot of different editing techniques into the film and this was our first end product of The Ripple Effect.
Zak Jakubowski- For the main task my main role was to be the actor Tyler in the film, I would have to know the characters background and dress appropriately to look out of place In todays standards due to that fact the film is based in the past. I also had a great idea for one of the camera angle so I discussed it with Barney Flood (director) and he agreed so we went a long with I and it was to merge a shot where Barney ran past the camera, it panned to me and Lucy and the zoomed as we hugged, I felt it was a success, then I also chose the casting for the film. Lastly I did little snippets here and there where the editor (Barney Flood) would ask me if the title font looked okay or if it was the right size, just some advice, apart from that he edited the whole film.
Elijah Potter- My role for the main task was to be the cameraman. I was responsible for recording the film, taking multiple shots and using the techniques we planned to use and suggesting different ones that would be beneficial. I was to take orders from Barney and get in the right position for each individual scene, and when to start filming and when to stop. I made sure that nothing interfered with the shots (such as pedestrians) and that each shot was satisfactory with the director. Some shots were difficult, at one point I had to ask Barney to assist me as using his camera was a little confusing. However I managed and with a little experience, I managed to work well with it.
