I believe this session was extremely successful, as the director I managed time keeping and ensured that each scene took no longer than a certain amount of time for example every ten minutes I would notify the camerawoman how long I expect the scene to take and when we should stop. The camerawoman and I worked very closely discussing whether or not we liked certain shots and whether we should discard it and due to the fact that we got along very well, most scenes were done within the given amount of time. The camerawoman handled the scenes extremely well and always put my thoughts in to the film, as a result, each team member was content with the session. Although the editor was not told to do much, she was always there to help if one our team members were struggling to find what kind of shots would be best to use and when. Furthermore, we finished the session exhausted and ready to leave however we were content with the outcome.
