   We are all involved in the development of the storyboard and shot list, this is because with it been group work we all need to know the idea for the video and reduces the confusion during filming of what we are trying to achieve. I've taken the role as director I've adopted the role of group leader so by been director it allows me to oversee everything we do whilst filming. With me been the only member of the group who isn't in the music video it will be easier for me to take control of camera and film everything. We are all editing the ancillary product because it is important that as a group we all agree on the end product so we all need to be involved.
