Week 5: It's a Wrap!

Our group worked so well together that we had a good part of our project at its final stage toward the end of week four. This week we had no changes to our script or shot list. It was more about fine tuning our video and adding the credits, references and Creative Commons licensing. During our meeting at the end of week four we discussed what we needed to accomplish for week five. We were in danger of having more than sixty seconds and all agreed that it was imperative that it remain below that time limit. We also discussed what tags we would attach to the video. Lawrence uploaded the video to YouTube on Saturday and sent us a notice via gmail. After viewing the video I found that the credits were wrong and the Creative Commons logo was not at the end of the video where it should be. I emailed everyone and got on Skype to discuss what changes we needed to make. Salvador and Melba were able to attend and Lawrence communicated with us via gmail through his iPhone. Lawrence expressed how he had some issues with the way YouTube was uploading the movie file. In the end the changes were made and our PSA was successfully uploaded to YouTube. The past few weeks demonstrated successful collaboration and production of what I think is a great PSA for amateurs. I feel through this experience I have learned how smoothly a collaborative effort can be achieved. This is something I can take with me in helping students work collaboratively in the classroom as well as working with teachers.
