For our group, this week was hardly a workshop, but a lesson to be learnt at the same time. As my extracurricular activities got in the way of things I found it hard to prioritise our group audio project. This week there was a valuable opportunity for us to present our rough cuts to get feedback from the teachers. Unfortunately we have not yet finished ours. This moment was a wake up call to put everything else to the side and fully dedicate ourselves to the project. Since we could not make use of the time in the workshop, we decided to hit the basement and start wrapping our ideas around our heads and begin recording. Since this was a stressful time, it was quite understandable for my partner to be frustrated. For that night we stay in the basement we got a fair bit of work done and did most of our recordings that night.

As media practitioners we often make mistakes during collaborative work when it comes to communication and dedicating our time to the work. In our group assignment’s case, this was shown to be exactly that prior to week 12. We have also stagnated as things were left last minute. However we ultimately had one goal, and that was to finish the task. This incentive to finish really pulled us through to work as hard as we can. Doing work can last minute can be frowned upon, but quite often, depending on the individual there can always be a silver lining under all of the work we had to do in such a short amount of time.
