Within this production, collaboration was something that obviously ran into some issues because of differences in scheduled, but was overcome with ease due to great communication within the group.
As most students will experience this within group work, there were a few moments within the production where some members would not be able to attend shoots or edits due to work or other factors. Within our group, this was always addressed at the time and if a member of the group couldn’t make a scheduled meeting, work was often distributed fairly to ensure that everyone had something to do and the assignment load was distributed evenly.
For example, Lisa vocalized at the beginning of the production that work commitments would mean that she would probably not be able to attend all of the editing meet-ups. This was fine due to the reality that its sometimes better to have less people huddled around a computer. In turn, she was happy to complete the treatment with our input. Similarly Lisa was also always available for her feedback on the draft edits. Similarly I had another assignments due around a editing meet-up, so my group took my laptop (where the edit was being completed) and continued to edit without me.
To conclude, through out all my group work this far at RMIT, this has been one of the most enjoyable and evenly distributed experiences.
