Collaborative Project_01
The collaborative project was long. People came and left within a particular timeframe. Finally someone had to take the lead and Lindsay was the person. I was struggling to support myself in many ways, so study became my second priority after a certain time, but I was there with the team, all the time supporting them technically and mentally to finish the project as early as we could, with a magnificent story.
In the beginning of this semester Lin and I decided not to make the storyline too complex and to follow one single artist rather than follow couple of them. We agreed about our individual roles and planned the schedule by organizing group meetings. Our first hit came from one of our previous group members who actually denied us of our previous work captured from tapes. That shocked us terribly and thanks our lecturers Rachel and Leo; we managed to get those tapes back. After a close look at our previous work, the storyboard was then customized. We went to different places to get different footage and finally to our artist’s home for a face to face interview. We were kindly helped and supported by our artist in every aspect, which was nice. We spent nearly five hours in there and rolled three tapes all together. Finally our shooting was over officially, which was sweet.
