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.
