Group Meetings: How we went from our draft, Versions 1, to 'Killing Conscience'

Our first group meeting was when we started the project to get our initial ideas together. But after we had got all our ideas in we had to keep meeting or talking every now and then to make sure we where on the same page as each other, understood what was going on and when we were filming next etc.
It was also very helpful if anyone had any other ideas that we could have added into the shoot. Because everydy we realised there was new things we could pop into it to make it better.

After our first shoot, we looked back on the footage and realised it was nothing like how we wanted it to be. It was really dissapointing and we started to panic. As that shoot had taken us about 10 hours to do, and we were running out of time till it had to be finished. We had a meeting and we had to decide what to do. As we knew we couldn't have stuck with just the footage we had or our film opening would look terrible. So we came up with another day, time and location for our next filming session. We had to come up with a whole new idea that would be just as good as our last one, but also work. It also had to be a reachable target for the time we had left.

Luckily it all worked out. The panic was finally over.

In the editing stage we had to have more meetings of how to piece everything together that we had filmed. But because there was four of us, we couldn't all bundle round one computer as there were other things we had to do. So we had two at a time round a computer. Ben at all times as he was the main editor. When we were not editing we decided we should do blog work and finish off little tweaks that we needed. Before the editing we all decided on what kind of idea of what we wanted it to be. But as the editing went on we'd all sit together at a certain point and screen it so we could all decide how it looked. This process really worked as we finished it and we all loved how it looked. And in between we got work done which was perfect.
