Group Self-appraisal

As a group I felt we all did well working together, we all knew our roles and all entered into the show project with creativity though there were breakdowns in communication and organisation. We missed the deadline for Episode 1 and 3. This was mostly due to shoot locations being double booked etc. One of our shoots was also disrupted due to a class meeting. The final episode was previewed on vimeo on the airing date and on the next day we aired the finished episode.

DETENTION DEFICIT
EPISODE 1: episode late but all model release forms signed before airing
EPISODE 2: deadline met but model release forms not signed
EPISODE 3: episode unfinished and model release forms not signed

Much of the time there was only one person exporting videos, as lesson would have finished one person would volunteer to do it. This wasn't the best way to approach the situation as we should have been more organised and been exporting before the end of the lesson. I was not part of the editing team but on one occassion I offered to sit with Hayden who was exporting till he finished but he said he was fine.

Before the current group, when it was a class project, I don't believe we would have succesfully and enjoyably made 3 webisodes. By being split up in to two we gained one thing; competition. I believe this was and is the main reason we held together as a group as we were determined to do better than the other team, though we went about it the wrong way, for example we wanted to make a better webisode rather than concentrate on the paperwork etc, which is what really counts. Towards the end we were doing better at paperwork, blogging and still managed to make some better webisodes.
