The third question that I will be researching is:
"How did your production skills develop throughout this project?"
I think that this is the question that will be easiest for me to answer for many reasons.
Here are some:
Time Management:
Because I am the world's biggest procrastinator, managing my time has always been something that I struggle with. Throughout the entirety of this project, I have had to think out every move I make. Whether it is choosing to wait a day to do my blog post or doing everything BUT editing my film opening (which is something I am still struggling with). I am 100% still having trouble managing my time for certain things, but it has without a doubt gotten better within the process of this project. When we first began working on the portfolio project, I had made a schedule. *CLICK HERE TO VIEW SCHEDULE* I believe that this genuinely has helped me in the process because if I ever feel that I am behind on something, I just take a look at the schedule to make sure I stay on task. Also, working in a group means finding days that work for everyone. Unfortunately, Camila had gotten sick when we were supposed to film so we delayed our filming by a few days. After waiting a few days, hoping she would get better, she had gotten worse, leaving us no choice but to start the filming process because we had to stay on schedule. This experience has taught me that not everything goes to plan and that's okay!
Hiccups:
Going off of what I said in the "time management" section, it is perfectly fine to have "hiccups," or things go wrong. Yes, it is stressful in the process, but you learn from them. I made a blog post talking about a few things that went wrong in the process of filming. *CLICK HERE TO VIEW* What I had listed on that post is only half the things that went wrong. As you can see, it is perfectly normal for things to go not exactly to plan, and that is okay! This project has definitely taught me that.
I found this website that discusses what to do when something goes wrong when working on a project. After doing all 11 of those things, my group and I were able to solve all of our problems, and it gives me hope that we will succeed!!
When a project goes wrong, do these 11 things.
Pre-Production
The last and final thing I will be discussing is what occurred pre-production. I found creating a storyboard is one of the most helpful things when developing any sort of production. It's just something about already having the outline of your project and only needing to make that outline/plan come to life. This has definitely given me ideas for future school projects, as well as in real life projects.
