November reflection

What are some things you have learned and/or tasks you have yaccomplished this month?

I have learned how to edit a video on iMovie. This month we have collected all the team pictures and team lists. We have collected all of Noahs video footage and put it on my computer we have edited the footage we have and place it in the video. We have insurged a song to go with the video and handed the video off to Ms.Blaxland.

What aspects of your passion project are working? Explain why.

The editing process is working very well. I think me and Sydney are learning as we go and this use makes are video better and better every time we revise it.

What aspects of your passion project are challenging? Explain why.

Something we are struggling with is collecting photos from some of the  sports and not having videos for all the sports. This is because we did not start collecting the photos and videos early enough.

What steps did you take to overcome these challenges / what adjustments did you need to make?

We set up for some of our teams to get together and pass around the ball while Noah filmed. We could not do this for ever team we didnt have footage of, so we just made sure every team had a team picture.

Is there anything you can do improve? (with your approach to the project, or altering the project)

Next time we need to start the editing process sooner in order to have time to trouble shoot any problems that may come up.

What is the next step, when will it be completed.

The next step is to start video taping the winter sports and start collecting team lists and photos this should be done by Febuary.

 

 

 

October reflection

What are some things you have learned and/or tasks you have accomplished this month?

I have learned good project management skills by making a binder for all of my passion project information. Tasks I have accomplished this month are, collecting all the emails of sport team coaches, finding the schedules of the sports on the athletics web page, designing my blog.

What aspects of your passion project are working? Explain why.

So far our team work is doing very well. Me and Sydney handle getting all the information Noah needs in order to film the sports and Noah films. We are currently filming and trying our best to catch all the sports. I think our group has good communication and that is why our project is working.

What aspects of your passion project are challenging? Explain why.

It has become a challenge to film the sports that started early in the year. We did not start filming soon enough but we can fix this for next year by starting right away.

What steps did you take to overcome these challenges / what adjustments did you need to make?

We have emailed the coaches that sports we have missed and asked them to send us any pictures or videos they may have. So far we have received good responses and are continuing to receive photos.

Is there anything you can do improve? (with your approach to the project, or altering the project)

I think we could improve communication even though we are pretty good at talking to each other when we  need help or have a question. We could do weekly checks on what ever one accomplished during that week.
What is the next step, when will it be completed.

The next step is collecting team lists and team pictures from the coaches to put in the video. This should be done by the middle of November.
