The peer assessment forms were a tricky one to write as it is hard to judge my peer's efforts when 2 of them out of the 3 are close friends. I felt that I didn't answer my peer assessment form as honestly as I would have liked to. I felt that some people, although had good ideas in the initial process of the development of the idea, did not pull their weight in the actual production of the film e.g. filming process.
I also do not feel as though my efforts were appreciated, which also comes with working with friends (especially when there are 3 friends). As mentioned in my previous post, I filmed in 2 of the 3 filming sessions, and in some cases I was directing myself and some of the actors in front of my camera - as there was no one else around at the time, they were either off talking or doing something else. When it came to us discussing who did what, 2 members of the group said that Edward was the camera person and said that I was the director, which did not show their acknowledgement of my efforts in doing the large majority of the filming and putting forward ideas which came to be some of the best highlights in our short film. I had to say that I filmed a large majority of the footage, to which they replied 'oh yeah..'.
I know this is something that will come with team work, and despite this I am impressed with everyone's efforts as a whole as we made a very good film, which we actually finished and submitted early, due to everyone's impeccable team work.
