The latter part of the project revealed a lot to me in terms of our individual approach and working in groups. I feel we all started off fairly well. We had an Idea and were ready to implement it. From the start I played quite a strong role in our group until I noticed it caused a bit of a strain with our friendship. Everyone wants an input but it hards to put down an idea especially when it comes from your friends. I knew exactly how I wanted this to turn out and it came out far from what I had hoped which is rather unfortunate given that we all worked extremely hard on this unit. Towards the middle Colleen expressed to us that she felt left out and there was more communication between the two of them than all of us a group. It was made to seem like I was controlling everything when in actuality I was the only one looked to for the answers which I couldn't quite understand. So to lessen the tension between us, I backed down in terms of the creative aspect and let them move forward with ideas that they had. In general, this entire process has taught me not to be afraid to say what is on my mind where our work as a group is concerned because the grade will affect all of us in the end. The editing process was rather rough given that we had to edit separately to buy us time before our deadline. We were so wrapped up in work that we hardly had time to do anything extra. I had done some casting for reenactments but that went to waste due to lack of time. A lot of our issues on this project stemmed from not following our schedules for the days had we done so we would have done much better. In addition I also feel we could've done much better as a group. I am very individual minded but i can learn to work and exist with others on a group project and had little feuds and emotions been put aside we definitely would've reached our goal.
