There has been a few hurdles to deal with in the learning process of making a decent k film for project 3.  I have found it very tough to work with some people and have been left feeling frustrated.  One of my participants in the making of the k film, Alan, has stuffed me around and has made it virtually impossible to get a string of decent footage together.  Every weekend Alan informs that he is going riding.  But when when I try to contact him I get no answer.  Then he will come up with a rubbish excuse everytime I inquire why he didn’t answer his calls.  I have only limited footage of him at the moment and will struggle to get the granules required to make the k film more successful.

But I have had no issues with my other participant and have captured a decent range of footage to include in the k film.  I have learnt the basics of editing in Premier Pro and have put together some decent granules to include in the korsakow program.  But I am not completely happy with the overall package and have learnt where some aspects can be improved.  I was happy with some of the footage captured on drone but I think the interview process was quite limited in preparation for my granules.  I think each granule should be a subject matter rather than just the one question.  This would create a better flow of conversation in each granule.

I also think for the following project that our group need to meet up more outside of school and work together in making the granules.  Maybe I am old school but I prefer to discuss ideas and concepts in person rather than having conversation on social media.  I feel limited in expressing myself by communicating online and find it restrictive in the creative process.  I think Steven wasn’t too fussed about meeting up in person as much compared to myself.  Maybe it’s a generational thing.  A spanner has also been thrown in the works with Aravinda arriving late into our group due to someone leaving the class.  Aravinda has had limited input because of this dilemma and due to lack of communication I don’t think he really knows what is going on.  We gave Aravinda notes and material to read.  We also assigned him some written material but I haven’t seen anything yet.

This learning curve will definitely make myself more prepared for the issues I might have to confront in the next project.  There has to be better correlation in the making of the granules which in turn will create a better consistency.  But there is still a few more days before the project 3 is due so hopefully we can polish it up to achieve a good presentation.
