For the past couple of weeks in our Digital Media class at New Technology High we've been working on what we call our Epic Movie project. Like most of our projects at New Tech- being that its project based learning- it started with us being put into new groups, with new team members. Each group was to take 17 shots with a camera such as a dutch angle, for example, of whatever we wanted, and then in the end edit 'epic ' music over it , hence the title 'Epic Movie'. (Here is an image of a dutch angle like I mentioned in the paragraph above in case y'all were wondering !) This project was really fun, and my team was fine, we got along well and had an enjoyable time filming. It was also super cool to be working with such high quality cameras, and we also got some really funny bloopers, but I think we could have been better on the actual TEAM part. I think my team and I lacked in terms of communication. In the beginning were all open to new ideas, different ways to shoot our 17 angles, but towards the middle of the project we sort of lost that 'communication' if that makes sense.
We tended to get off task, like team members wandering away, and I remember our team had a really hard time just simply sitting down and going through the shots and deciding what to keep and what to throw away. And then that one single issue led to the problems of if did we get enough shots, and if so did we get all the RIGHT shots-which we didn't, me and another team member ended up redoing a shot the DAY the project was due-. As you can guess this led to us wasting a lot of time we could have used to edit our videos. I our team had stayed on task and had put more effort into communicating I feel like this all could have been avoided, hopefully I will remember this for future projects in all of my classes.
