Group reflection

This is our refection of our work as a group.  

How did you work with and how did you manage the task between you?

As a group we split up the tasks equally, Leah and Lorna focused on the blog posts while Jess spent a lot of time editing. We used organisational skills and communicated on a group chat in order to split work load fairy but still ensure the work was getting done.

 How did you plan your sequence? What processes did you use? 

We planned our sequence by using shot lists and storyboards to properly visualize what the footage will look like prior to shooting so that we didn't waste time filming shots that wouldn't be relevant to our music video. This really helped us to prioritize filming based on natural light and changing tides.

What technology did you use to complete the task, and how did you use it?

We used a cannon 700d  to film our music video, we then uploaded the footage onto the computer and used premiere pro to edit our music video. we used you tube to learn new editing skills. the technologies we used were familiar  to us as we had previously used them before. when it came to editing you tube was a useful source of information if we wanted to try new effects we hadn't previously used before.

 What factors did you have to take into account when planning, shooting and editing?

when considering the creation of our music video we had to take into account each group members personal and school schedules to ensure we could all equally participate and cooperate in each stage. we also considered each group members strengths so that we could use those strengths to our advantage.

 How does it compare with filming an opening to a film?

Creating a music video allows you to be more creative in comparison to a film opening. Editing can be abstract and the video does not necessarily need to make sense of have a clear narrative.

What are your strengths as a group member?

Lorna; My strength as a group member is my organisational skills, I ensured that the group were all kept informed and up to date with work.  I created a sheet so that everyone in the group kept their  blogs updated. My weaknesses as a group member was 

Leah:I think that one of my strengths as a group member is that I was organised and able to get all of the work done that was required. I also was active when sharing creative ideas.

Jess:My strengths as a group member were that I persevered with difficult editing techniques and researched how to add some more technical effects in my spare time. My weaknesses were that I was not as organised as I had hoped to be, and relied on my ideas that came at the time of filming rather than brainstorming beforehand.
