I was confused when I enter the first class of the second week; I was actually late and missed 50% of the first class. I was trying to catch up with all the things that I have missed at that time. I was just getting back from winter break and my mind was still in a holiday. Therefore I had plenty of things that I need to catch up with. I believe that most of the students in the class have started their blog post in the first week and I have not started any thing yet.

The tutor gave me some information about the blog posting and the first assignment, which was mostly about blog post. Besides, he was also giving me some information about this course and things that I have missed in the first class and second class of the first week.

I though that, the blog post was not that important, but actually blog post is the main part of this course, and we need to keep blogging every week. We have to fill it with some information from tutorial and some activity that were given in the tutorial. Furthermore, I also needed to blog about the progress that I have made during the make of the short documentary film.

I was busy with several things, till I lost my focus on this course, fortunately my tutor is supportive and helpful, he was always available for consultation and he was also giving me a lot of constructive feedback. In addition, there are several in class activities that help me to collaborate with my classmates.

When I missed the first and second class of the first week, and turn up late for the first class of the second week. I was totally confused with this course, but there are chances for me to catch up by collaborating with the students in the class.

Honestly speaking, I turn up late to class most of the time and missed several classes due to unfriendly wheatear that Melbourne has, but the tutor and my classmates are helpful. They help me to catch up with the materials that I have missed and also give me clue to improve my performance.

Through out this semester, I have learned how to collaborate with people in several projects, particularly film production. Everything that I have noticed from this course is the group work. This course contains in class activities that allow me to collaborate with my classmates, which also teach me how to collaborate with people and accepting people’s idea.

I believe that in film production industry, we need to work as a group in order to create a good film. Therefore, most of the skills that I have picked up from this course, particularly collaborative skills, will help me to collaborate with others in my future carrier.

Without collaboration, I would not finish the short documentary film that I am making. I have received helps from friends and my tutor to push me through all the hard time that I have faced during the making of this short documentary film.
