I also made sure to speak to the production manager and my production co-ordinator partner, in order to build a good relationship going forward as we will be working closely together throughout the processes.

This also aided us in imagining what the props and set department could utilize in each room.

In addition to creating a better report with my fellow peers and group I also communicated with my location manager to see if there was any new enlightenments on where we could film as even though I had scouted locations a week before, we decided we could find different locations that would be better to film in.

I also did some wider research this week which allowed me to understand my role better as a production co-ordinator. ‘The goal, however, is not to visualize to eliminate decisions on the set or to streamline the production process'. (Katz, 2019, p.6). This quote for me helped me to understand that although my work in this project is about managing the crew and cast and aiding other departments, I can still be creative. In my role, I have to be creative with suggesting new ideas and solutions to any issues we may face on the day of filming.

I also watched a video on Youtube about the responsibilities of a production co-ordinator to make sure that I was fulfilling my job correctly and to the best of my ability. 'The production co-ordinator is primarily administrative employee, who carries out a variety of clerical functions.' (Diversity in Cinema Academy, 2022). This ensured me that I was correctly carrying out my job and fulfilling the means of my role.

This week I contacted everyone in their specific departments in an email to remind them that their risk assessments for the interview scene needed to be completed as promptly as possible. To help any confusion I attached the risk assessment in the email and assisted them in where to send their risk assessments once completed as I could not sign them off personally.

I was also on hand to help with the departments if I was needed and watching out for any continuity errors or mistakes that could have been made through the day.

My main role however, was to ensure that I was consistently checking what shot we were currently filming and writing it down in the shooting log. I realised how important this job was as without an accurate shooting log, the editors will not know which shots are useable and it would make their job much more difficult. Therefore, I made sure that my logs were accurate, precise and clear for the editors. 'Given the need for expertise with technology and the need to share the workload both practically and technically, the director needs the production team.’ (Edgar- Hunt, 2010, p.14).

During filming I also had the job of communicating with the public as we were filming in Peel Park, therefore, I had to ensure that I was respectful of the public and kindly asked them to wait when were shooting a certain shot, so they did not disrupt the take. I also communicated with the public when they were allowed to pass through when were not filming. I found this to be a really fun and rewarding job as I felt that I was helping to get a good take.

I continued to do this everyday that I was on set this week.
