PSA Review and Comments

At the beginning of this assignment there were four of us that were excited to work together and get the assignments done. We decided to work together and it was quite successful. During Pre-production we used different mediums to communicate and develop our ideas. First we posted and edited on a wiki some brain storming ideas. After a few days of that we then gathered for a group chat on Google. This was a very successful meeting in that we quickly and efficiently developed our ideas of what we wanted to do, who was going to do what job, and a timeline of what we wanted to accomplish. After that meeting most of our communication was by email with reports of how the work was going or questions and help that was needed. Throughout the process updates were continually made in our production document that was stored on Google Docs and on the wiki we were using.
One of the things that could have improved our PSA would have been if we had a budget to work with so that we could have got better equipment. What we had was usable, but especially in the sound recording realm there was a bit to be desired. Having a group of people working together was great because we were able to check up on each other and help each other on areas of weakness – especially with the copyright issues. Together we were able to check and ensure that things were done correctly and efficiently.
