4: Did you have any trouble coming up with ideas?
Bert: Not at all the idea was suggested by Scott Lennon and I just ran with the idea and the show took on its own character.
Scott: No ideas seemed to come easy although developing them was harder. It took a lot of thought and furrowed brows.
Andrew: Ideas came pretty easily among the group, we basically just did everything that came to mind.
Bryan: No
5: Was everyone aware of their part in the group or did it consistently change?
Bert: Everyone was aware from the word go.
Scott: It constantly changed, as there wasn’t any continuation of the scheduling. It was a lot of chop and change. On the days that people knew what they were doing they stuck to their jobs well
Andrew: Everyone knew their part and that was a constant really we all pitched in ideas.
Bryan: Everyone knew exactly what their roles were.
6: If you could what would you change
Bert: I would change the set and redesign it
Scott: If I could change anything I would plan the shots better as I would achieve some continuation in the shot-making process, save time and spend more time arranging the camera as would often overlook the settings
Andrew: I would get a tripod instead of having to blue tack the camera to things in order to prevent camera shake
Bryan: Be a little more prepared.
7: Any closing comments?
Bert: Keep your eyes on the telly because this show is going to be big
Scott: Time and scheduling is important. If other people are helping you make sure you have the shot you need in one go otherwise you might be scrabbling around looking for everything you need
