A Summary of Problems our Group has Faced

As a group we worked, I thought reasonably well but there were certain times where we faced problems. The first problem we faced was the fact that me and Jess were the only ones who were close friends so the fact that we had to keep meeting up was quite awkward for us. Despite this, after working together for a few weeks in lessons we started to bond and we started to feel a bit more comfortable with each other so by the time we had started filming we were fine with going round each other's houses to have meetings and organise everything for filming.

The second problem we faced was with the editing. Me and Jess missed the lesson where everyone learnt how to use the editing software, so Efosa had to go through it with us again, which delayed us in terms of our schedule. For a couple of lessons we had to work a lot quicker than the other groups which was quite stressful for us, but once we had got over this we were able to work at the same pace as everyone else. 

Another problem we faced was the fact that on our opening sequence, the dialogue was between Jade and Efosa but after our teacher had watched it she advised us that Jade's accent took away from the genre of the opening and she thought it would be better if we re-recorded it and made it fit the genre better. We stayed after school and recorded my voice over the top of the footage, which I feel was a good decision and has improved our piece a lot.

Finally, we also could have organised our time better. If we had a list of what we would be doing in each lesson and we had to meet each task, we would have been much more up to date and we wouldn't have had to worry about who was doing what, and where they were doing it. It would have caused a lot less confusion and our work would have been done a lot quicker.
