In Design and Computer Science, we were put into groups and told to use Adobe Premiere Pro to create an "Epic Movie". We were given a list of camera shots and techniques that we were supposed to include in our film and were given 2 weeks to film and edit our video. Our group had several technical difficulties, but we collaborated somewhat well together. As individuals we got along well, but we had the problem of group members wandering off and all of us getting off task at some point while working together. For next time I have learned that assigning each other roles as we do in other classes such as World Studies is important. Although this might be annoying, boring, time consuming, and seems to be "unnecessary" at times, but in this situation it would've worked well. If each group member is assigned a role then we all know what we have to do during that class period or for that project. It gives everyone something to do and ensures that everyone in the group contributes equally. It is also useful because it holds everyone accountable for their own work. If they do not do their work then we can hold them accountable for that and discuss what to do in that situation. Which is where a group contract comes in. Now I finally see why group contracts are actually useful. They set guidelines and agreements in place that a group agrees to before a project. It places responsibility on everyone for doing their own work and sets consequences in place if their work is not done. Also, when working in a group it is important to have a goal. This creates a motive and we get an idea of what we need to get done by the end of the day.
