                                                                                                      Phil - Bailey 

Bailey did a great job at presenting this character in the way I wanted to be presented and really give the character a background and story.

                                                                                                      The boss - Martin

Martin also did a great job playing this role and giving the character a realistic tone and realistic mannerisms, I’d get Martin in another one of my films if necessary.

After film

On the first day we shot in college in the green screen room and filmed a argument scene with Martin as the boss and bailey as Phil, they both did a good job during the filming process and they listened to what i wanted them to do. They did this from the start to the end.

what went well

The different shots, angles and techniques i wanted went well with the scenes also the use of different editing techniques brought a whole new feel to the scenes.

improvements that could be made

I think i could of made an improvement in my time management because i didn't film everything i wanted to in the end which was disappointing and made the film look choppy and by not filming what i needed to, it didn't make as much sense as it would of if i had filmed them scenes.
