3.2 – Identify the key factors for effective working relationships

What qualities are needed to work well with others?

• Firstly, to work well with others, teamwork is needed, as the quality and enjoyment of the production relies on how when the production team work together. By working well as a team, we were able to overcome problems with the production, such as time management, and complete the production to the best of our abilities. Also, by working well together, we were able to enjoy the production, as well as put in maximum effort.
• Listening skills are another quality that is needed when working with others, as sharing ideas and discussing the project is important. If listening skills are not used, discussions turn to arguments and some of the best ideas are not spoken. By listening to others, you show respect, which in turn leads to your own ideas and views being respected.
• It is also important to use communication when working with others, as, along with teamwork, working well together and talking, leads to a good relationship in the team, which can effect the quality and creativity on the film. Communication is important on a film set, as groups need to discuss ideas together, but also need to feed back to other groups, and update each other on the direction of the production. By doing this, the whole team are aware of what they need to be doing, and are aware of the vision of the film, as ideas often change on production.
• Being punctual is also vital when working with others, as you are often relied upon to be at certain places at certain times. Being late also implies that you could be unreliable and unenthusiastic about the production.
• Having a positive attitude is also important when working with others, as things don't usually run smoothly, and it may take a few different approaches before the task is done. By keeping a positive attitude, you not only show enthusiasm, but are also able to keep the team going and achieve better shots and quality for the final production. 
• Also, having the ability to self analyse, is important when working with others, as speaking up about something that doesn't look right may positively impact the film. By being self critical also helps to show your enthusiasm and willingness to the production, but also shows your commitment to creating the best quality from your skills. 
• Thinking critically, is also vital when working with others, as by thinking logically and carefully about aspects of the film ,may help to improve difficult tasks and produce a better shot or logistic when filming.
