b. What challenges did you face in organizing and executing your discussions?
One
thing that my group sometimes struggled with was keeping the conversation going.
We tried to not just read off of our job sheets and often succeeded by incorporating
our jobs into the conversation rather than having them start it. However, there were
some times where we would run out of things to say.
c. Describe your favorite book club discussion. What was the topic and why was it
meaningful?
My favorite book club discussion was when we all decided to talk
about Craig and Noelles relationship. This was before we knew that they were
officially together. It was really cool to hear everyones opinions on where they
thought the relationship would go and why. I guess it was meaningful because the
conversation was really enjoyable. Everyone got to talk and give their opinions, and
we all laughed and joked around too. It was just a really fun discussion.
6. Using a scale of 1-10 (1 being super unpleasant and 10 being super awesome), rate the
overall experience of working with your groupmates.
Please be honest and detailed in
commenting on the work ethic and contributions of each group member.
I give the whole
experience a 10.
a. What worked well?
What worked really well was everyones dedication to the book
club. We had one less member than every other group, so there were times where
each of us were doing two jobs. Also, most times if a member was absent, they were
willing to video chat so that they wouldnt miss the conversation.
b. What was challenging?
One thing that was challenging was that a lot of my
members were absent for meetings. That, on top of having one less person than
usual in general made it hard sometimes to have a discussion.
c. How did your group members contributions affect the quality of your discussions?
I feel that since each of my group members were able to contribute so well to our
book club, the quality of our discussions was greatly improved. Everyones opinions
allowed each of us to gain different views than what we had ourselves.
The Final Project
7. What did your group choose to do for the final project? A trailer or scene reenactment?
My
group chose to do a trailer.
8. Describe the process of creating your video.
a. What worked well?
The editing of the video worked out very well for our project.
Lily Rivera and I were able to do much of the editing using iMovie, which made the
whole process really easy (though it was time consuming).
b. What was challenging?
The challenging part for us was trying to film. Since she
wasnt planned to be in it, Lily Rivera was supposed to do the filming for our trailer,
but got sick and had to be absent for every day that we had filmed. Also, it was
hard for us to get our scenes to be the right way we had imagined them to be.
However, we were able to get through that and still finish everything.
c. Overall, to what extent are you satisfied with the final product? Please explain.
I am
very satisfied with the final product because each of my members did a very good
job on this assignment. Lily Romans portrayal of Noelle was perfect. The same
could be said for Antonios portrayal of Aaron. Lily Rivera did such a good job with
the editing too. One thing that bothers me is my role in the trailer. Im a horrible
actor, so seeing me as the main character is very cringe-worthy for me. Im super
awkward in most of the scenes and wish I had done a better job.
9. The expectation for this assignment was that each group member made significant and
equal contributions to the final product. P
lease be honest and detailed in commenting on
the work ethic and contributions of each group member.
Overall, each of my group
members were able to contribute to the project. One thing that did get a little bit
frustrating was that Lilly Roman and I wound up typing basically the entire script and Lily
Rivera and I had to do all of the editing. Im not too upset about it though because there
were circumstances that happened that made some of my members unable to contribute.
Ill list what each person did below:
Me: Typed script, played Craig, helped edit, filmed a small amount.
Lilly Roman: Typed Script, played Noelle, filmed, gave some input into some aspects of editing
Lily Rivera: Filmed a little bit, edited a lot, played Dr. Minerva, gave small input into what should
be in the script.
Antonio: filmed, played Aaron, gave some small input into what should be in the script.
