It wasn't the original plan...

Looking at the group's synsopsis you could see that we planned to have 4 different dares done, and that all four group members would be featured in the video. Because of the time we had and the absence of a certain member we were not able to video all four dares, and instead we filmed only two dares. The only disadvantage that I find from this is that we didn't stick with the original plan. The advantage about this decision however was that we can now easily get our video to be around the 100mb range so we can upload it to student net because the video is shorter than planned.


Another problem we faced was that Therese was sick a lot, so she missed out on a lot of IST lessons that we used to work on the video. Because she was away we had to change the plans and we had to take off her dare, and Camillus' dare. The advantage to this decision was that it's now easier to change the video and editing it to be 100mb.

An issue during the filming of the video includes the lack of time we had together as a group and the video cameras that we were using either not being available, or out of battery. Because of these issues we had to delay some filming of different scenes of our video (including the introducing scene). However this problem was easily solved because we were able to film all the parts of our video.

Another problem faced was that we weren't sure how we were going to end up editing the video. Our original plan for editing was for Camillus to be able to do it at home. The problem that came up was that Camillus wasn't able to use movie maker at home due to technical difficulties with her home computer and everyone else in the group didn't have movie maker or wasn't sure how to edit the video. This problem was fixed with the extension that was given to finish the assessment and Camillus is still editing the video, but using movie maker in class during our 3 extra IST lessons.

No other big problems came up and I think that the assessment went well. If anything, we could have finished the in class tasks earlier, instead of doing it the way we are working on it right now.
