Reflection on PSA Post-Production

Melba Morales was very instrumental in getting our group together during the first week of this course. She and I worked closely together during the first two weeks helping each other on our projects. We shared our scripts for the purpose of getting constructive feedback. Salvador Huerta begin and Lawrence Anderson joined the group quickly and by the end of Week 2 we were already brainstorming ideas for our PSA on the Google Site that Salvador had created. He posted the template for the project proposal and the shot list and we all began filling in information. We also used Google docs to place files for each other to have access.

I am a planner by nature, so I took it upon myself to initiated Skype meetings, initially to get to know each other on a more personal basis, then to have contact once a week much like our web conferences. W also communicated by email and if needed met up again on Skype during midweek. I feel each team member worked hard to equally share in the work load. Salvador did the video capture and some still shots, I initiated communication, provide still photography, and recorded voice over with Melba. Melba and I used Audacity and sent the files to Lawrence who put it all together using the video editing software on his Mac. Credits and reference citations along with the Creative Commons link were placed at the end of the video. Lawrence then output the PSA to a .mov file. He expressed that it was a bit of a challenge uploading to YouTube. We are pleased with the video, but given more time I think we could refine it even more by deleting one section of the voice over and syncing the voice over more accurately with the clips.
