NEWS Project Evaluation

This project has been interesting, having studied news programming in college I was'nt entering blindly in, however I have learned an awful lot about working with different people and with different team members.

during production we had some issues with sound as has been the case in past projects, the response is the same in this instance, have backups of backups. on our shoots we used as many forms of sound capture equipment as possible thus the vast majority of the time we had some usable sound for each shot. a general increase in sound recording competence may be required on my part.

we also had issues with camera balance and handheld shots. my ability to hold the camera perfectly still has deteriorated over the summer and if i had noticed by way of practicing out of shoot time i may have decided to use the tripod more often, allowing for far more usable shots. this is something I just need further experience with in general and my ability will improve enough to use my preferred methodologies once again.

in general I have enjoyed and found this group project stimulating in unexpected ways, navigating a new kind of team dynamic has been eye-opening and has improved my general team related sills immensely.

I believe that I still need to improve in relation to blogging as I still try and develop ideas based upon empirical experience to inform my decision process and my evidence in regard to blogging for project evidence. this is definitely something I must improve upon for the next project.
