Documentary Project Brief

 This is the brief for my documentary project.

Before project reflection:

I have never had a large project based on filming and recording videos before so I think I’m fairly excited. Even so, I know that it is definitely going to be a lot of workload so hopefully I could ration the time properly and not procrastinate. I also think I might be interested in acting for the documentary so I hope I also get the chance to do that. I think that working with my friends as teammates may not seem the best option as I might get distracted but I believe that our teamwork and synergy will be better as we already know each other well and know we all will do our share of the groupwork. The part I’m most worried about is the editing because I don’t really have ideas on what sound to use and how to color grade at all. I think I’ll leave that part to another group member to do because it isn’t really my strong suit.

After project reflection:

I think that this project was very challenging. It definitely resulted in the relationship between my teammates and I sour at times. Even so, I am still impressed with the amount of work that my teammates and I have done because I genuinely think that the detail in all of the parts of our blogs are really clear. I also definitely felt as if there was a problem when deciding the workload because at times, I just wanted to help my friends with their parts in order to lessen their burden, but they took it upon themselves to reject the help as they felt as if they needed to do their share of work. I think the work ethic for all of my teammates and I are definitely commendable. I do think that I will want to work with them again for future media projects though because it felt like we all did equal amounts of work and it felt more or less fair.
