Feedback from my Leadership Presentation
Leadership Review
1. What did you do?
As a producer and 1st AD, I helped on set through organising the shoot and making sure everything went to plan. I then shared the skills I used, learned and developed through doing this with my peers.

2. What was produced

3. What did you enjoy about making the presentation and answering questions?
I enjoyed seeing the role of a producer and 1st AD as a list of skills as it was interesting to see what kind of personalities fit the job. I enjoyed answering questions as I felt I was educating people which is rather exciting.
4. What did you find the most difficult or complicated?
I found it difficult not to repeat myself as a lot of the jobs and skills of both roles are rather similar.
5. What did you think about the feedback from the others?
I thought that feedback was very positive and any improvements were minor which shows I was a good leader.
6. What have you learnt about communication, planning and leadership?
I have learned that you have to be fully involved and proactive to have the most impact and you shouldn't be afraid to voice your opinions. Also, Plan B's should always be made and planning further ahead is always preferable.
7. What would you do differently next time?
Next time, I'd get more involved and voice my opinions more, expressing my unique skills. I'd also provide more stimulating aspects to my presentation such as clips.

Leadership Plan
· Who is your project for and what do you know about them?
As our project is part of the BFI Film Academy, I’d imagine our audience would be linked to this and therefore will be knowledgeable about the film industry and will be looking for skills, talent and flair in film-making. Others watching will be family and friends who will be looking to support us and are interested to see our talents and passion as well as all our hard-work shown on screen. As the films will be uploaded on the Internet also, we will have an online audience that are looking for entertainment. They could have found it through Boldface Productions (who are hosting our course) and are looking to see what projects the company is taking part in.
· What are you going to do?
We will use this opportunity to showcase our skills, talents and passion while making the most of the resources, help and advice we receive to become better, more experienced film-makers. This will hopefully benefit our future careers.
· Who is part of the team and what are their different roles and responsibilities?
I, Daisy, am the producer and 1st Assistant Director who will take on a predominantly organisational role in overseeing the project. Harry will be our stereographer and take control of the 3D aspect of the film. Lottie will be our director making decision on how to put together the film and Caitlin, as our cinematographer will work out how to make this possible on screen. Lauren will be the chief editor and have an idea on what she’d like the film to look like in post-production. Shazia, from Boldface Productions will also be on hand to help and give advice on the day.
· What resources will you need and where will you get them?
We will need filming and editing equipment including a 3D camera, tripod, lights, Mac etc which will be provided to us by Boldface Productions. Leaders from the course will guide us through the process, organising helpful workshops and being available to answer any queries.
· Who will help you, when and in what way?
As said before, Boldface will always be on hand to help and guide us. Location will be provided by Caitlin’s secondary school (who’ve allowed us to hire the library for the filming day) and Caitlin’s friend have volunteered to act in our film.
· How will you know if the project has worked?
If we have screened a short 3D film on the day that we’re content with I will know the project has worked. I will also know that the project has worked from the skills and experience I get from it.
· How will you promote your project?
We will screen our project at the Stratford Picturehouse to family and friends. We will also upload the film online and share on social networking sites.
· How will you collect feedback?
We will collect feedback by interviewing our audience after the film has been screened and record what they have to say.
· What things could go wrong?
We could run out of time as none of our group have had experience with 3D film-making before which is a long process so our timing might not be perfect. Our location and actors may change to not available for the day.
· Do you have a back-up plan?
If we no longer have a location, we have a back-up option not far from the offices where our course is held that would require us to amend our plot slightly. Members of our group are also willing to act if required. If we’re running out of time, we plan to ensure we have the basic shots for our story.
· What else do you need to find out about or do?
We need to create a storyboard and shot list as well as a call-sheet to organise the day and make sure it runs smoothly.
Evaluation
· pow How How well did you do in your leadership role, when working on set and when delivering your presentation?
I think I did okay in my leadership role on set as I wasn’t quite authoritative enough but I did encourage my team and tried my hardest to help with organisation. I think I did great in my leadership role when delivering my presentation as it was detailed yet concise and I was confident, clear, enthusiastic and willing to answer questions.
· What was the relationship between you and your peers during the production? Were there challenges?
Generally the relationships with my peers in the group we good however I did feel some stepped on my toes in terms of my role as a producer which created a challenge for me to assert myself.
· Do you feel that your presentation and blog post with your presentation is appropriate for your chosen audience? If so why?
I feel my presentation and blog are appropriate to my chosen audience of 16-19 year olds interested in the film industry as it provided enough detail for it to be informative but it easy to understand and not too long or patronising.
Arts Leadership
What is the Leadership Role that you have chosen?
I have chosen the role of a producer and 1st Assistant Director.
Why have you chosen this specific role?
I have chosen this specific role as it’s a career path that I’m interested in fulfilling.
What are the skills you will need to use, learn or develop to make sure you are able to carry out your leadership role?
As part of my leadership role, I will make use of my organisational skills to ensure everything is running smoothly on set. My hard-working and committed nature will mean I encourage others however I will learn to be more positive in order to motivate my team. I will use my tact and confidence to communicate with my team and ensure everyone’s happy with the decisions made. My friendliness will allow me to be approachable but I will have to develop my multi-tasking as well as my sensitivity and habit of taking things to heart.

Stephen Follows Review
Looking back to Stephen Follows workshop, I remember being very amused and charmed by the producer, which reflects the type of personality needed for the role. This provoked me to think about what type of personality I had and what sort of role in the film industry would suit me and in particular, was my aspiration to be a producer suitable? Listening to what Stephen was saying was inspiring and unexpectedly provided me with advice I hadn’t heard before. Examples of what stayed with me where ‘nothing is your fault but it is your responsibility’ which I think is a simple, positive and realistic way to further explain a producer’s role. He taught me things I didn’t already know or were that obvious which was refreshing including different types of producers and rather humorously described what their intentions were. One message that stuck out to me about the role of being a producer was to ‘inspire others in something that doesn’t yet exist’. This sentence encompasses both the skills and passion needed as well as the ultimate job the producer has to fulfil, which was very useful to me as someone thinking about a career in this field.
Research Into Future Opportunities
This course was part of my continual development of my skills and experience of the film industry. I will continue to take every related opportunity that I can including completing my time as a Reporter on Film Club's Talent Development Scheme.
(see FILMCLUB under Events tab on m portfolio website: http://daisyvictoriaedwards.wix.com/portfolio2011-12#!filmclub/c1m5u)
I've accepted an offer at Ravensbourne College of Design & Communication starting this year where I'll be studying Digital Film Production. I will look for work experience for when I start university by uploading a specially crafted CV to My First Job In Film with the help and advice I received from Sam Kirkwood. I also plan to work on a documentary with various people from my group on this course later in the year.
Review an Arts Event - Singin' in the Rain
On the 23rd of March, I went to see Singin’ in the Rain on stage at Palace Theatre; an on stage adaption of the Gene Kelly film. The musical was a two-part show directed by Jonathan Church and starred Adam Cooper (Don Lockwood), Louise Bowden (Kathy Selden), Stephane Anelli (Cosmo Brown) and Jennifer Ellison (Lina Lamont). I think it was inspiring to see such talented people performing a story I love and it actually made me want to be part of the performance. I find the process of adapting a story to a different medium thought-provoking so it was really interesting for me to see the film I’d recently got on Blu-Ray performed live on stage and how they’d tackle bringing the film’s locations on stage. What really brought the show to life was the water used for the famous Singin’ in the Rain musical number; gallons of water falling from the ceiling, filling the stage with which the lead splashed the audience. I would’ve preferred to have been a lot closer to the stage to have a better experience of the show rather than from the balcony as this limited the interactivity of the show. I’d definitely recommend the show to others if they enjoyed the film or like small-scale, comedy musicals on stage.
Create an Action Plan for Your Arts Challenge
To achieve my challenge, I needed to prepare by firstly learning about 3D film-making. To do this I attended a 3D Masterclass run by Jacquie Pepall. At this session, I got a chance to practice with the 3D equipment. Through attending weekly sessions run by Boldface Productions, I evaluated the skills I needed to learn to make a 3D film. As well as attending the pre-production day, I prepared by researching around the subject area of 3D film-making online.
The deadlines throughout the course were set by our leaders These were appropriate depending on the stage of production we were on as a group. Our leaders ensured we were on track so it was possible for us to film on production day and our films were ready to screen by Saturday 23rd February.
These deadlines consisted of:
27th Jan - Plot idea ready for screenwriter Marc Price to look over and help our group improve it.
8th Feb - First draft of script completed to settle on a basic plot to work around. This was to be sent to Marc Price however we didn't have any dialogue in our film so decided to focus on completing a storyboard.
12th Feb - Final draft of script completed to pen the final plot and continue with the rest of production.
15th Feb - Secure filming location to ensure it's available on day of filming. This proved quite difficult for us as we struggled to find a suitable library or bookshop to ask permission however last minute we managed to obtain access to a secondary school library.
16th Feb - Final storyboard and list of props completed so everything is prepared for day of filming.
18th Feb - Filming. One day to use equipment and location before we edit. This was quite tight time-wise because of how long it takes to set up 3D shots so we had to change our plan and film shots that weren't necessarily in the storyboard.
19th Feb - Editing. One day to use equipment and location to ensure our film is ready is screen on the 23rd.
A lot of the support I needed throughout the course was provided by the leaders at Bold Face Productions. They were on hand to guide us and answer every query we had. We had workshops every week from industry experts who told us about their careers and gave us advice on our own careers plus our 3D films. We also supported each other in our groups as peers and team members, bringing our individual skills to the table.
I learnt a lot on each of the production days, particularly how challenging making a 3D film is despite pre-warning. I think that the only way to learn this is through experience.
In terms of extra resources we needed, we had to hire out a venue for our location. This was Caitlin's old school who allowed us to use the library for the day. We also needed three actors, which fortunately Caitlin also managed to provide though contacts.
I attending weekly sessions with the group where we discussed our progress with the rest of the group. I also made an effort to keep in contact with the rest of the group via email and Twitter.
We reviewed the plan as a group every session. This is also when we decided what jobs each person would undertake.
Identify and Agree Your Arts Challenge
My Arts Challenge is to make a 3D film. I chose this as it requires an additional set of skills which means I'll be diversifying and therefore increase my employability for a future career in film.
When applying to make a 3D film, my aspirations were to learn these new skills and to meet and work with like-minded people.
In terms of making a 3D film, my strengths and weaknesses were as follows:
Strengths
I'm hard-working, focused and a perfectionist which will allow me to work through the challenges faced.
I'm amicable, a good listener and team player which allows me to communicate well with the rest of the crew when deliberating over details.
I'm confident, am willing to try new things and take every opportunity which will keep me open minded to these new kind of film-making.
Weaknesses
I'm a perfectionist and don't deal well with pressure which may make it difficult when taking on this challenge that I have no experience of so far.
I'm self-conscious which means I may voice my opinions or suggestions when I should which may hinder my creative ability.
I worry and can take on too much which may make me stressed and not work to my best ability.
