Blog Reflection // Week 8 : Plot twist

This week was intense as some changes were made in terms of whom I was working with. I was formerly working with Eoin as we had not worked together before and we are close friends.

However, working together led to a few complications. Throughout the build up of workload, I personally felt as if I was doing more of the work than Eoin. Each week I was given firm deadlines for all my subjects as they are all course-work heavy and I was under a lot of stress. I kept myself organised and completed all my work on time and to the best of my ability. However, my partner was not completing his sections of the work on time. Due to the deadlines that were not met, the missing work he did not complete did affect me as we were doing partner work and we were being assessed together. After discussing with our teachers what was the best solution, Eoin is now working by himself and  I am now working with a new group, which I am extremely happy with. 

The new group I am working with are Paman and Simran. They have the same passion and commitment as me into media and complete the work together. The class has also supported me through this and these two girls have been helpful enough to allow me to be a part of their group.

I am extremely grateful for this and also have an interest towards their music video idea, which I am looking forward to.

Overall, this experience with Eoin has been taken into a positive perspective, as I am still close friends with him. I hope for the best for Eoin, as I know what he is capable of. It is necessary to organise yourself in a career and for media in particular, as you need to work with other teams, therefore your actions affect them too. In the real industry, you sometimes have to work with new people, and so I am going to establish what has happened as a positive outcome. My new group is aware of what happened so this ensures me that I will be treated more fairly.

This week, my new group and I have discussed what we need to do in order for our production and future work for this year to be a success. We have spoken about when we are going to film and when to produce the last parts of pre-production together. For the next few weeks we are going to start filming and working on our production, which I will be updating along the way.
