Practice Story Reflection

My GT class had a project this past week. We were to split into groups of 2-4, pick one person to interview, and ask them questions. My group consisted of 3 other people (Talia, Preston, Kasiah), and we were going to interview my good friend Kasiah about her gymnastics class. Now, this was just a practice story, and the real one would be done about a wise person we knew. We had to shoot an interview, collect B- Roll (Extra Imagery), record transitions with a narrator, and piece it together in Final Cut Pro.

      

My group had many challenges along the way. We were a group of 1st year Gt students, not that has anything to do with it. Non of us react well with stress (Especially me), and this was a very high stress project. Arguing was a common noise around our workspace, and although we tried to avoid it, the stress caught up to us, and we bickered about dumb things that we could have just ignored, and lost a lot of time that could have  been spent more efficiently.
     
I will take away a lot from this experience, stressful as it was. I hope that everything stressful I go through will bring me a little closer to my altimeter goal of being able to handle a high pressure environment better. Next time I know my group will be able to work together better, and I am looking forward to that. It is an amazing experience to be able to do the things we do in Final Cut Pro, and what I learn everyday with Mr. Sanderl is awesome. Can't wait to tell you about our next project coming up!!!
