Unit x has been very different from any other project I have done. I have never really been involved in a project that is so group based and has huge emphasis on collaborating with other people one our course. I was very lucky that I had such a good group who were very keen to do well on this project. There are pros and cons when working in a group.
The pros I found were that you never run out of ideas because when one person says on thing that triggers some on else to come up with a different idea. We found this in our group,we had too many ideas to go from, so this can also be seen as a con too. when you have too many ideas it makes it hard for a group to decide on just one. One of the biggest pros I have found is that I worked a lot harder in a group. Working on my own I have a tendency of being more lazy and only having myself to blame if I do not it. However in a group if you don't turn up to group meeting, your not only letting your self down but others. This has given me the push I needed all year to get up earlier get more things done during the course of the project instead of doing everything really last minute. I can see this could be really positive for the projects to come. Another Pro is that no one has the same textiles skills and everyone has different strength so we had a wide range of samples through out our project. However one of the disadvantages our group had is that none of us are very experienced digitally and we had to have a digital outcome, which brought us all out of our comfort zone.

When we found out our digital outcome was going to be shown at Museum of Science and Industry we wanted to really impress our audience so decided to make a short film, which none of us had any previous experience with. We rented out equipment from the AV store got a lighting induction and had a day tutorial session on how to use a camera. It was tough for us to know what to do and now look back at it i realise how we could have improved. When you are filming you really need to have a clear plan of what you are going to film, so a story border is key. We had so many different ideas we did not know which direction to go in and we wanted to include everyone's work in it. This was a something I have learnt from we should have homed in on the best pieces of film we had done and worked with that instead of trying to fit everything in. I have learnt a lot of different skills on imovie which i think i will use in more projects.
I feel our final film is successful and hopefully the audience will get a sense of what we are try to portray however I think we had better footage we could have worked with but it did not include everyones work. This is something i am going to take with me if i use film again.
