Hiki No Behind the Scenes

In GT these last couple weeks we have been working on a Hiki No profile or news story. My group and I chose to do a profile story on Leilia's uncle Henry Panui, he is a surfer and owns his own business.  We are trying to tell people about how to balance work and what you love to do.  Our project is pretty good but we have had a lot of difficulty, because when we were going to film the first time some of us couldn't make it, then the next time we could all make it all the camera's were checked out.  We are going to meet and get the film done and finish our project.


When we aren't filming I feel like we are very professional and try to get things done. We are professional but we are also very loose and try to have fun with everything.  We also are very ready to learn more and enjoy our hard work.  We have also all become closer than we were when we started the project, I was a new student so I didn't know anyone that well.


I think to help my team I need to try to focus more and try to find time to do the work.  I also think I need to tell my group when they are doing something that isn't going to help complete the project.  I also think that I can try to keep my group on task and help them realize that they are not only doing an assignment but we are helping the community.  We have had some problems but I know that in the end our project is going to be great!



The Experiment


The Photoshop assignment was an assignment were we tried Photoshop for the first time and we had to figure out how to use it on our own. I think we did this assignment so we could figure out how to use Photoshop. We also did this to learn how to work on our own and get help from our friends.


I think the things that were good about it were when we had to do it on our own. I think that it was bad that we couldn't get ANY help I think could have at least helped us to show us just how to turn it on. Also we never got that much time and so I never finished saving it.
