Evaluation of previous AS Blog

Introduction
My entire group all contributed a considerable amount towards our blog which is in my eyes the key foundation to a successful blog. I have spoken to my group and together we have picked out some key blog posts they we are all proud of.


Above is a story board that Anthony Wilson constructed. The thing that makes this story board different from the rest is that it was created after we finished our filming. Anthony constructed the story board and then we looked back at our own footage and all took note of what we saw. We then as a group combined our notes to form a detailed outline of everything we did in the sequence and why we put it in there. I feel that this helped us a considerable amount because now as we start on our new film we will take more detail into account.
The main reason why this post had such a big impact on the overall project is because we were actually able to see the film from a different point of view other than our own. In our heads we always had how our film would turn out but how it actually did turn out I’m sure my team will agree was completely different.
Although I hold a lot of praise for our blog because we did managed to achieve a lot the only problem I would say was that the lack of team communication caused arguments to break out over who completed which post or who was supposed to do a certain blog, granted we were able to quickly overcome this failure in communication but I feel it never should of happened and we are all partly responsible. Fortunately no one in my team dropped the subject so we are in the same team as we were last year this year, this is an excellent thing because now we can look back at our mistakes and do a better job this time around.
The blog was an in depth insight to the workings of a team creating a film, hence the major importance it has on our grade. There are a few things I would like to change about our previous blog and will ensure that these changes are applied with our current media blog now. Those changes are as follows:
• To list every problem we encounter
Basically, although we encounter countless problems with our film I feel that this is nothing to be ashamed of. For every person in our team this is the first time any of us have produced a film so the fact that we encountered plenty of obstacles and problem is nothing to ignore but we should of embraced it. We would have managed to have a lot more blogs by discussing our problems and on top of that we probably would have resolved them by discussing them more.

• To Film and photograph Absolutely everything

Last year we actually managed to do a brilliant job of this however I still have the feeling we could have done more. There is so much invlo0ved when it comes creating a film and although we produced a substantial amount of blogs I know and my group knows it wouldn’t have been a challenge without blogging categorically everything we encountered

• To introduce a method of blogging that contains opinions.
In order to accomplish a blog that provides information for everyone that reads it to understand everything that is happening throughout our filming process we must be able to portray our own opinions as well as embracing other people’s opinions. We as a group must feel comfortable enough with each other to discuss our own ideas and point out what’s wrong with other ideas without getting aggravated.

In conclusion from what I have learnt from our previous blog myself and my group will take everything that went wrong on board and explore it as much as possible to understand how to avoid it. We will also maintain everything we did well and develop it.
