Finishing Production

Our group project has been running a small bit behind on schedule, it's quite hard to fit everything in all together at once especially with our time limit. However, there is progress with the project.

This week we have finished our scripts and managed how long we each are going to speak for. All of our research is done up to this point and our layout for speaking about each topic is done. I think we are gradually making progress and it's coming along well even tho we are a bit behind. 

We are communicating well through the group chat, we have on social media about any questions or work that needs to be done. Our communication skills are fast and efficient. We however do need more time management skills throughout the group as fully submitting and showing our pieces of work towards one another are a little bit slow. I am most interested in working on editing as I personally love to edit, I am also very excited to work on the shooting part as I have never experienced a set or done any work such as this, so it will be a new experience and very fun. I personally suggest to the group that we have to do some pre shoots just to get the hang of the set.

My specific role is to be a part of the video and to help with the set production. Such as setting up the camera, making sure everything is working, up and running well. I have picked up great tips from previous videos suggested to us by our lecturer to help us with our production and with our post-production. This has been a great help and has researched ideas on what to do. 

Through our work, we have certain jobs for people in our group to do such as sound production, video production and B-Rolls. We are planning on shooting B-Rolls to add in with our clips to make it more interesting and are hoping to add voiceovers on certain parts throughout the video. With these, this can make our video more interesting and keep readers engaged, which is what we plan on doing.

We are planning to shoot in one of the classrooms in our college are going to think of a title and put our script fully together towards it all. I am very excited to use all of these tips and to go into shooting, It will be very exciting.
