Looking at my progression throughout this project as an individual, I feel that at the beginning of the project I was proactive, excited and hard working. I put the research I wanted to do for this project before other work at the time, I was excited for everything to get moving in the right direction, I was looking forward to tutorials where I would get a chance to express my work, ideas and hopes for the project and I was inspired by our original idea and concept. As the project moved on and began evolving I stayed very excited about he project and loved watching our ideas begin to take form. Around this time when we were having tutorials with Sam Chick and Jonathon, sometimes we got quite a lot of negative feedback, I think because I was so involved in the project and was so happy with it I took the negative feedback badly and didn't look at the feedback that said we also had very strong areas to our concept etc. At the point that the project began getting a little more real, in the sense that it wasn't just researching and developing our concept anymore and got more into the time where we needed to be planning budgets, buying materials and getting and group of people extremely organized in a short period of time I began to get quite overwhelmed and unorganized. Overall, I think my contribution was as it should have been, I was highly involved in every job I was given, and did everything the group need me to do, however I am aware that my involvement fell through towards the end, as my attitude toward the project had turned a little negative due to a few reasons.
Looking at the progression of our group throughout this project, I feel that there were several factors that set us back, divided us and made some aspects of the project quite negative. Nearer the beginning we lost two of our group members with very little notice, this was after the point that we had assigned jobs and organised ideas, research and management. So it was quite a blow and I think that as a group we were disheartened and from then on found that what was hard with 6 was twice as hard with 4.
With any group of people put together to work on one thing, there were of course differences in personalities and opinions. Nearing the end of the project our organisation fell through completely. I don't think any one member of the group can be blamed individually for the fall through of organisation, it came down to differences in opinions causing disagreements, personal issues and communication issues. I think even though the aspects we as a group had a big affect on our project, when it came down to it, we produced an exciting concept and followed it through to the end with determination and positivity.
