Project Reflection


For us as a group our biggest struggle obviously came from losing all the work that we had put into the first video. It was mentally hard knowing everything that was first completed was for nothing. Personally it was hard to get a lot of the footage that was used. What made this hard was the fact that it was awkward for a lot of it. Standing close to the Starbucks line for thirty minutes at a time, on numerous occasions was not easy. Especially with every other person looking and wondering what we were doing. To make that worse on two of these occasions Starbucks workers confronted us asking what we were doing and asked us to stop, even though we explained it was for a school project. I am most proud of overcoming my nerves to get the footage that we could. Secondly I am happy we were able to convince one of the nicer workers to give us a shot of her closing one of the shops, and turning off the lights for just a few seconds. The main aspect of our project that I would change is the repetitiveness of the film. I feel like most of our video was interviews that went along with people standing in line. If we had more time to work on this project we might have been able to find a student that would go into depth on whether or not Starbucks was a trend or fad, rather than giving yes or no responses. My role in the project was to get the video and perform the interviews. I feel our group got along great until the deadline got closer and we all became a little nervous. I had originally felt that the work load had been split evenly however; I would have volunteered to help any of the group members with their tasks if asked. Instead of working individually or in pairs and sending each other our work I feel it would have been better if we all could have worked together at specified times and worked all at once.
