1. I feel like the most difficult part of my experience this semester was trying to keep all the work for film during film hours. Originally, I took this class so I am able to have a set amount of time to do what I enjoy doing the most. However, as I got more involved and got more inspiration on different aspects of film, it became difficult to focus on my schoolwork outside of SVCTE because I kept on getting distracted by the temptation to watch another practical video, find sound effects, or an editing tutorial video to cut down the time spent during lab time doing these activities that can be done at home.
2. In addition to the inability to focus on my school work, I found it difficult to work as a group in projects. Because I was used to creating videos on my own without outside influence, I did not understand how to communicate my vision to others or how to incorporate ideas of others to my idea. Thus, for example in the suspense scene, my attempt to incorporate my group member's ideas in the storyboard ended up as fully using my original storyboard. My teammates only fully understood how the video was going to be edited after I showed them a rough cut.
3. During the semester, I had the hardest time trying to find time in class to finish projects and practicals. Some practicals require more time than there are left after the lectures, while others require assistance from the teacher because the equipment was never explained. Thus, it goes back to my very first problem in which my attempt to finish work that can be done at home disrupts my time to do other necessary responsibilities outside of SVCTE as well as cutting down on sleep. Although this is effective to a certain degree because it clears up time to spend on practicals, it creates another problem as stated in the first point. This ongoing loop of not have enough time during and out of class is by far the biggest challenge I faced during this semester.
