This was a great collaborative effort on the part of the team. During week one, Lawrence posted on the discussion board an invitation to create a team, obviously Romana, Melba, and I jumped on the chance to get an early start on the project. In pre-production phase I offered up a suggestion to do the Public Service Announcement (PSA) on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and the team agreed that a positive PSA to work on. We all agreed that it was for a K-12 educational setting. During this phase we proceeded to assign responsibilities, project description, and schedule of deliverables. We continued to brainstorm and came up the script outline and narration. We this in hand we completed our shot list. During the production phase we proceeded to get pictures of a school setting like school entrance, hallways, lockers, CPR related equipment, and finally a video of me fainting and receiving CPR. The team met once a week on Skype to collaborate on selecting appropriate content for each of the shot list. We continued to communicate via Skype and e-mail several other times to continue to fine tune the script and shot list to provide a smooth and professional appearance for the video. During the post-production phase we reviewed the video several times to check for continuity and for the assignment rubrics. Since Lawrence was the editor and he used a Mac the web format was in QuickTime, which was uploaded to YouTube. The team did an awesome job on the project considering that we were all over the state of Texas. We could have improved on the PSA given more time to collaborate I understand that we all have busy lives and have to attend to family and work. There is a lot of talent in the group and I could not have asked for a more committed team barring the time constraints. I have to applaud Lawrence for doing the editing, Ramona and Melba for doing the narration, and I provided the some of the content and maintenance of Google site. This was a great team and I hope to have the opportunity to collaborate with them in the future.
