Evaluation and Final Piece

Technology rules? from Chloe Debonnaire on Vimeo.

I found this unit really engaging as the topic was an idea I came up with, so I found it an enjoyable topic to investigate. I find the idea that corporations and the government have access to all of our online data not only possible but likely. I suppose in a way I have a bit of the heart of a conspiracy theorist in that way, although I don't worry enough about it to stop using social media and various other technological methods of communication.
I think my group ended up working really well together, as we all were very interested in the topic and came up with really 'out there' ideas about what sort of things our data might be being used for and ways to interpret this. We did struggle with the fact that all three of us are very unorganised characters, which meant that sometimes we really had to take a step back and think 'hang on, this is important and we need to get it done by this time' because otherwise we would never have completed anything. Once we had done that we were able to get on with the project and complete our paperwork and everything else we needed to do.
We had a few hiccups along the way where we lost footage, due to misplacing hard drives which ended up being really annoying as we then had to re-shoot a lot of the footage. I think that if we had used that footage we would have ended up with a very different film although whether that would be for the better or not is hard to say.
As it is I actually rather liked our final outcome although there were perhaps a few things in the edit that could have been neatened up. I really enjoyed doing the sound for this project, and after just completing our sound projects I was now more familiar with Audition and so I could create a soundscape with more ease than I would have otherwise.
All in all, I think our project went better than I hoped it would, although if I did it again, I would probably edit it slightly differently.
