Production Blog 3

WORKING AS A GROUP:
At the start of the media production we all worked well as a team and each of us contributed our own ideas. We ensured that all of the research and planning tasks were finished on time, and that each of us had them posted onto our blogs.
When it came down to the editing after half term, Charlie had gone on holiday. So it was only Danielle and myself who was able to edit, we spent almost every free lesson editing the sequence, finding suitable music and adding sound effects. We managed together to get the sequence finished and completed to a standard which we were happy with.
When it came down to the group evaluations, we decided to answer these individually. This was because one of our group members had contributed little to the whole task and therefore wouldn’t have had much to say about what had gone well. With Charlie still on holiday, questions associated with the editing side of the task could only be answered by me or Danielle. To save confusion we simply just decided to fill these in by ourselves.

Overall, as a group I don’t think our teamwork was brilliant. Although at times we worked well together, I do think there were certain areas that could be improved. However, I am happy with the final product so I don’t think this is a major issue.When it came down to the filming, the whole group was present on the first day. We managed to get some shots, but when we played it back, we decided we wanted to change the layout of the table – so we could no longer use these shots. On the second filming day I wasn’t present as I was working, Danielle and Charlie filmed some more shots and this was the beginning of the sequence coming together. From then on I, Charlie and Danielle attended every other filming day.
