We finally brought together our idea and created a film out of it. Unfortunately, due to time limitations and technical difficulties, our outcome did not turn out to be perfect, but it is the ideas behind it that count so I am pretty pleased with what we have achieved.
This project has helped me develop my team working skills immensely, listening out to what other group members have to suggest, and taking that on board, considering everyone's ideas and not seeing any idea to be absurd, as no idea could be deemed too crazy and/or impossible.
There are some things that we discussed that we would of liked to do more differently as a group, one of the things was the length of the film, it was a little bit too long therefore could cause the viewer to lose concentration. Another thing that we would change is the lighting, so the viewer can make a clearer connection between the female voices and the bottles themselves. Thirdly, we would have altered the text, instead of having a line for each sentence, we had the lyrics written in a two line form, making it more difficult to read.
We eventually managed to make the topic fit all members of the group's personal projects, the sports channel branding project also took the collaboration project as an inspiration for his channel to be appealing to all genders, not just men, as most sport related brands and products tend to be.
This short project has made me eager to question reasons why some people (not only women) do what they do, for example, dress up when going out, wear makeup, etc. I may create a questionnaire on this particular topic and analyse my results.
Working with lens based media students pushed me out of the whole graphics mentality and forced me to think even more openly than before. I don't usually play around with cameras and think of film ideas, this was a great opportunity to do so.
