Working with Jack

As I mentioned earlier I think working with Jack is extremely beneficial as we are both extremely good firends anyway so we both know what to do to make the other one laugh or agree with a piece of our work but also we know what not to do to annoy the other one. I think perhaps that is the downside with Jack and I working together, it was not challenging enough. We both knew how the other would work and we knew when we could film and plan etc. it was just fitting it around the normal time we saw each other anyway. In future I think it would be beneficial to work with someone I am perhaps less familiar with, to be able to grow more at working like a real production company would where no one really knows anyone else. If not working on my own is an option as I could then try see how hard it is to be a stand alone director/producer having to organise absolutely everything around the film, then perhaps I would respect team work more!

I think working with someone you know is easier and more useful than someone you don't as you know what they like, you probably have similar likes and you both know how the other works, what they are bad/good at. But not knowing them is almost equally beneficial. You get to meet someone knew, learn more about others oppinions, you probably end up with a better production as there is somebody else's view going into the piece. You would also be able to create a mix of genres instead of just making films that you want all the time, you would learn of other genres, cultures etc. It seems more beneficial working with unfamiliar faces than with the people you live around and are growing up wih as friends, it is too personal to work and you get distracted to easily.
