Aspect What Could be Improved Logistics Finance Creative Processes Summary of any problems with project management My problem with management started with my lack of proper housekeeping which made me re-edit some of the bits in my movie.

The problem was sorted by makingsure that the second housekeeping I made was in a locked folder Ways you could be better in future productions I would personally likein the future to usea range of location for my movie I would also liketo increase the range of shots which I use when producing The lastthingI would like to improve on is to go through rehearsals with my crew and actors. Everything with the financeaspectof my production as done with perfection. In the future I will add my housekeeping on more hard-drives as well as notmoving folders form one placeto another.
