Our video.

Since there weren't many people on our team, Will and I were part of most of the things involved to making this video happen. Will made a lot of calls and planned the venue. I knew the talent so I called him up and asked if he would be interested in starring in our film. The script was mine but Will made a few tweaks to it, which in turn became a success as we are very happy with our film. Both Will and myself shot the film. He and I share creative input on the film. Again, there weren't many hands involved so we took charge of the production. I edited the film. Will helped put together the report we had to come up with for this film. At the end of the day, it was a team effort and we hope you enjoy our pilot as much as we did.

Thank you.

Self-evaluation.

What I learned:

From shooting the film, I learned that timing is key. If things aren't done on time, plans will not go as expected. Also, if things aren't done on time, many elements and ideas that were planned to be in the video will end up not being in the video, and essentially wasted. I found that I was lacking in this area. I also learned that many things, even though you try, will not go as planned. When this happens, someone just has to be quick on their feet and respond as gracefully as possible. On another note, being pressured in that sort of situation helps creativity as well.

The strengths of the project:

The strengths that my teammate and I hope to show are the creativity and the effort put in to make it as close to the initial idea. Also, we hope that the idea to use a local artist shows our support for local arts and musicians. Both my teammate and I are very active in supporting local acts. We may prefer different genres of music but the passion burns inside. We hope to have projected that in this pilot.

We could have worked harder at:

Keeping to our schedule. That's about it. Other than that working in a team of two worked out pretty well. There weren't many creative differences, instead we discussed in a very professional manner and we respected each other's tastes and creativity. Due to the group being so small, there was not much to debate on.

Changes I would make if I had to do it again:

Plan things out properly. I would definitely be more experienced the next time so I would manage the talents and the schedule better. I would also use a different program to edit my video. I feel that the program I used did not do the idea my teammate and I had in mind any justice.
