Summary of problems faced in group work

For our first opening sequence about a girl being murdered we came across several problems. The first being meeting times. It was difficult for the three of us to arrange a time to meet due to people working & having other loyalties. However, we found a date where we all had to give up time to film for the sequence but managed to get the filming done in one night.
Once we uploaded all the footage to final cut we noticed that the lighting was not good & it looked quite grainy. It was also too long. We was not happy with this so we decided to completely redo our coursework

Another problem we encountered was that a member of the group was very often off school due to sickness or other reasons. This made it difficult to discuss as a group, ideas for the new sequence. To overcome this, myself & Vidur took control & created a new sequence without Saskia as she was off school.

When Saskia returned to school. We had already filmed our sequence & started editing on Vidurs Mac. As she was off school during all the planning & filming she did not know how she could help & would sit idle whilst me & Vidur completed the work.

A major problem we encountered was that Vidurs Mac broke. This meant we could not complete editing or sound on his laptop & would need to find another way to finish it. As we were very behind we could not finish work on the school computers as we did not have time. To resolve this, we used my Mac (which had final cut) to do the editing. This was good as we spent a lot of time over the weekend completing the editing & sound so we were up to date & ready for the showcase.
