For this show project I was first in a big group of the whole class, at first I was just researching web series, I was really wondering how this was going to work with the whole class because I knew we all had “creative” differences, but I just went with the flow because I thought maybe it may work out, because we all knew each other now and perhaps we might work well together, but it didn’t work out.

In the big group I was given the role of Co-Editor with Loz, even though I was ignored at first, I eventually got heard and given the place. Even though it look the whole lesson to assign people places, which wasn’t very good.

Eventually Nick split us up, which was a good move so we had 2 smaller teams to work in, each with their own job, I again was assigned editor, which was good because that’s the main thing I really enjoy. Even though I knew my part wouldn’t come in till later, I thought I could still help out.

Over a weekend I quickly came up with a logo, which everyone seemed to like, I just downloaded a font that looked like a chalk writing and put a blackboard on the background, I think it worked well, and thats the logo we use everywhere.

Due to family issues I missed 3 days of college, in which time I thought most of the decisions would have been made and I thought it would make me just fall behind and everything would have been made without my opinion. But the only thing that was done without my opinion was the Cast, which once I looked over everyone I knew they all made the right choice.

Once I was back I was given the task of editing the auditions into once long and boring edit. I thought there was no need for this as we all had seen the videos anyway and we only wanted proof that we actually had auditions, so all I did was make a minute video and stick every person that auditioned on it. I thought it worked out well.

Over the next few days I felt that I was just picking up and doing things people couldn’t be bothered to do, for example I was updating Twitter when other people didn’t or forgot about it, they only started to update when prompt to do so, but now they are updating it all the time which is good.

Another thing I did because nobody else was going to was shot lists and storyboards for episode 1, I didn’t do these alone, Tara did them with me, but as I was Editor and she was Production Manager, this wasn’t either of our jobs, but we knew If we didn’t do them, they wouldn’t get done. In the end they were not needed because on the shoot the director didn’t use the shot list!
On the shoot I decided do direct and film the Title sequence myself as nobody really read my idea about it and to be honest they couldn’t care less about it because they knew someone else was covering it, If I didn’t step in and come up with an idea I think we wouldn’t have a good title sequence and it would have been rushed.

Finally I come to my Job I was assigned to. Editing, at first I was being pestered every 5 minutes by Dave, I felt that he really wanted to edit, but couldn’t so he spent the time trying to annoy me, but after a while he just left me alone to get on with it, and in the end I personally think the episode looks good. Maybe could have done with more shots.

For the next episode I think the group need to stick to the storyboard more and get everything done, ready for a smoother edit so the group are not so rushed nearer the time of the launch.
