For pre-production we had to pick a film clip that was possible for us to do. This proved to be quite difficult because the theme of art that we had picked was invention and fantasy, and we had couldn't do anything that involved special effects. In the future I would recommend picking a theme of art that would be easier to do based upon the location you have access to. Next came the task of picking roles for the film. Once roles had been picked the writer had to rewrite the script, the cinematographer had to create the storyboard, the sound designer had to choose mics, and the actors had to memorize lines. When we had finally finished pre-production we were able to move on to production. Something very important that I learned from this experience is just how crucial a good location is. Our location ended up being a bit of a problem because at the start of every period we had to take the equipment all the way over to the location, set it up, and by the time everything was ready we usually had between 10 and 15 minutes to shoot. On top of that, the equipment wouldn't always work so even if we had 15 minutes sometimes we wouldn't be able to get anything done because of faulty equipment. Once we finally got all of our footage shot we were able to log and edit it. After everything had been edited we each published our own version on youtube. One major recommendation I would make is to be 100% sure that your equipment is ready and working before you are at location, because if it isn't you loss a lot of time. Personally something I think that we did right was choose the right people for the right role, which allowed us to work more efficiently.
