GT- Reflection on shoot 2

We planned to conclude the entire shoot on January 25th, meaning we had to capture all the shots in the caravan, which would constitute around 70% of footage in the entire sequence in one day. Also, having had trouble with the camera track and dolly on the previous shoot (specifically issues with the stability of the track), we had the idea of taking full advantage of it inside the caravan where stability would be significantly improved on the smoother surface of the caravan.

• My first role in this shoot was transportation of the track and dolly. Likewise with shoot 1, it was my responsibility to collect the track and dolly and make sure it got to the shoot location on time. I also picked up a group member, Harry, and transported him to the location too. It was vital for the group that we made the most of what little time we had to finish the shoot, so timing with transportation would play a significant role in the outcome of the shoot. Whilst I was transporting Harry and some of the equipment, Tom was preparing the caravan for the second shoot, making sure the camera batteries were fully charged and checking the SD card had available space from our first shoot.
• During the shoot I played the antagonist, a masked, hooded man. This role would include little in terms of acting as Harry had on screen prevalence as the victim throughout the entire sequence, leaving me a brief amount of time on screen.
• We all shared a role of suggesting a variety of shots to take at the time and how to improve the shots predetermined in class before the shots. for example, we introduced the cupboard shot at the time, as well as the tracking shot along the small objects in the foreground and Harry in the background.
• Another role that I played in the shoot was operating the camera. Though Tom shot the majority of the shots taken that day, occasionally I was needed to help create a shot, an example being the track along the small objects previously mentioned. 
• The entire group contributed in setting up the equipment, such as the track and dolly which required a fair amount of assembly. We also all worked together in making sure the track would be smooth, which involved positioning objects under the track to even the surface. This took time as the track is naturally unstable, emphasised through its wheels detaching numerous times throughout the shoot.
