Discussion and Debriefing About the PSA Video Assignment
5. As a team, debrief about your experiences producing the PSA. 6. Individually, add a 150-word post to your course blog related to the project. Your post should: • clearly analyze the group’s pre-production, production, and post-production process; shot and editing selection; Web delivery formatting decisions. • offer insights into how the group can improve their public service announcement. • identify copyright attribution for assets. • discuss your team’s collaboration and interactions with each other.

Team Discussion
__**Pre-production**__ EZ - I think that we started off early planning and that helped everyone develop ideas and really made the difference in getting everything going. AP- I think the pre-planning was the key to our successful video. We had a strong concept and then a great shot list to complete video story. AL- I also think our early time table allowed for a smooth project. It also worked great to have the wiki to see all of the aspects of the project and know what was due/when. LH- I agree with everyone else. First, using the Wiki was a great way for us to communicate effectively. By getting the pre-planning (setting shot list, deadlines, etc.) going early, we were able to complete our tasks in a more timely manner.

__**Production**__ EZ - It felt strange doing only pieces of the assignment at this stage but the communication between us was comforting to know everything was in progress! AP- The members of our group all produced their individual components on time with no problems. AL- I agree with Ellen, it felt strange doing little pieces of the project but as a whole we all did what we were supposed to and completed the project early! LH- I agree with Ellen and Amy about doing our own piece, but we could see from the Wiki that the others were doing their part as well so we could feel confident that the project would come together.

__**Post-production**__ EZ - Reviewing the final project has been easy because I feel everyone understood what we needed as we went. The copyright requirements are a little confusing but the video turned out awesome! AP- I agree with Ellen- the copyright requirements are not clear. Is a Creative Commons license required when all of the work is our original creations? AL- The only issue with post-production that I have noticed is the copyright issue. I'm so glad we got the project finished early so we could have a few days to review it and make any changes without having to worry about the deadline! LH- Again, I echo the feelings of the others in my group. The project came together so easily that post-production couldn't have been smoother. I am unsure also about the Creative Commons issue, but read somewhere that even though it is our own work, by having the license it allows other to use our work.

Improvement ideas - I really think it turned out very good. Higher quality video for intro, etc. maybe but the size of the higher quality files are hard to upload and share. I also see some room for improvement but you are right Ellen, it would be really hard to share files if they are of higher quality. Maybe someday soon we will see a site where we can work collaboratively with higher quality "stuff".
