(it is the first video, group C)
We were given a group task to create a short film with the title 'A Chance Encounter'. The rules were there culd be no sound and no video editting, just plain recording. We were put into groups and began the task, the first thing we did was a simple mind map of ideas we all had for this 'chance enounter'. We all had good ideas and eventually settled on a superhero theme.
The ideas was that a superhero had lost all of his skills and has become an alcoholic. He decides to go to a rehab centre only to find it is a prime target for villains who go around causing chaos. The main superhero decides to put a stop to this and with the help of the other superheroes, puts a stop to the villain. 
Now we knew our story, we came up with a storyboard to make the recording process quicker and more effective so all of us knew what we had to do (the storyboard was not drawn by me but we all helped with ideas for each frame). We then began recording the film in various places around the university and we dressed up in superhero costumes for extra points (of course).
The video as a whole turned out quite well and recieved good feedback from our peers when we showed it. However, there were several things that could have been improved upon. For example, the scene changes are not very smooth in places; there are sudden changes of light in rooms and the image is jolted in a certain direction. But these are just little things which could have been removed if we had more time and more freedom for what we could do.
If we could have editted the video afterwards, this would have improved the film a lot and it would have given me the oportunity improve my editting skills and use new programs but the purpose of this task was solely in the planning not production and I believe we mangaed to plan and execute the task very well.
