Group 13 The Film

After not working too well as a team during the presentation I was really determined to ensure that our group work more as a team and met all of the deadlines within each stage of the production of this film. That didn’t happen either, with one thing or another we got delayed and ended up filming the whole thing over a few days we all pulled together and worked as team and got on with it really well. I was expecting it to be a really big tedious job but it wasn’t it was a lot more fun than I thought and we really worked well as a team. Then next job was the hardest it I was the editing. This was good as we had a number of the same shot at different angles so we had a lot to choose from and play around with. This made it a lot easier. Then just when we thought everything was going too well the Group 13 bad luck kicked in again and boy did it hit us hard. On the Wednesday evening before it was due to be handed in on the Thursday we all went to Les’s house to do the final edit to our film. As we did our last final touches to our film we noticed that our sound and moving film were out of sync and the more that we played the film the more out of sync it became until it was about 2 or 3 frames out of sync and it looked a mess. We tried everything but it was just getting worse and worse and the later it got and the more hours went by where we didn’t get anywhere we were loosing all patients and hope of having anything to hand in. we were running out of time, ideas and energy. So at bout 4am as a last ditch attempt we tried importing the film on to les’s old computer that didn’t have premier on it but it had imovie which did the same kind of thing but it took longer to do the same things and it wasn’t as gud but at this time we didn’t care as long as we delivered something. Luckily this solved our problem and the sound was perfect and the boys got a sudden surge of energy and we managed to not only deliver but to deliver something to be well proud of.
Les and David were so good, Les hadn’t slept for 24 hrs but was still going strong into the night with the help of David keeping us all going with his good ideas and determination to deliver. So we finally got it done at around 9am the Thursday morning and after the biggest, most fabulous breakfast made by Les we went to Uni and all handed our work in then went home and slept.
This is the thing with Group 13 we always manage to pull together when it counts!!!!!!!

Group 13 The Presentation

The first task we were given we had to make a brief and put it into a presentation to show the client. At the start or producing this we didn’t work very well as a team and although I thought our ideas and brief was very good and our ideas were very strong. I couldn’t even see us getting past the presentation never mind the actually film, but come delivery day we pulled it together and produced a brief that impressed Deb and Jools. We got lots of lots of positive feedback including that it was good that it was lots of personal experiences and that it was good that it was a film rather than using stills or animation, this meant that it would be a lot of work for us. We also received some negative feedback which included that getting 3 stories into 2 minutes is going to be very difficult and they weren’t sure bout the title of our narrative which was What does discrimination mean to you? Which we all really liked and thought it was effective to the style of our narrative. But all in all although it started really bad we all pulled together in the end and I think we all learned a lot.
