Well you can have two minds working at the same time. When you have a partner things get really easy, in the few seconds that we had left for the Imovie. Me and my partner Saleh were as fast as lightning and thunder. We finished everything in just the right moment. We got the script clear and the Imovie done and finished.
Although it's fun to work with a partner they are challenges too. We couldn't stop talking about random things. We kept this habit of talking and working at the same time. It slowed us done by a lot I have to admit. But at the end it was easy for both of us. We also noticed that when we worked together we came with better ideas(witch is kind of weird seance we are both gestalt and the same profile!) but that doesn't mean we are EXACTLY the same.
We had a bit of trouble with getting the images seance all the really good ones had the websites name all over it, animated, to small and pixilated or the other group had it (and we didn't want to look like the people that stole their image). But as I said before we had many ideas, and got this problem out of the way. Team work is hard at points and other times it makes you feel like saying "What a great decision!"
2. Challenges / obstacles which you overcame (tried to overcome).
Well as I said at the paragraphs above there was a lot of problems. Most people when they work together they get stuck in a lot of situations. Me and my partner were in that sort of situation. One of the "main" situation was the script. We wanted to make it educational and funny but we couldn't make it the way we wanted it. The script was to squeezed in and we didn't know how to present it in a way that could of been understood. We ended up make a normal presentation with pictures and talking over it.
A other large challenge was that we couldn't find the best place to record. We always had different people come over trying to record and we couldn't record in the place we wanted until the very last day. If you listen to our recording in our video you notice that there is very different sounds in the background like the Ac, there was usually a drummer at the back, other people recording and our echo in the room. this was very frustrating but we managed to overcome it in a second. No really, we had to record in the very last second and export it on youtube.
Our last problem was that we couldn't really think of a good scrip. We had to rewrite everything like about 3 times. It was very frustrating. We had to think of many of the small details in our script to make it sound good. Like who Pharaoh Ramsses fought against in his war campaign. Who his father was, his wives (Yes I mean wives) his children and all the other things he had in his time back then.
3. New understandings that you gained about yourself.
I learned a lot of things in this project. I can now find the perfect instrumental for any video or presentation. I just listen to a lot of music like then ones in the 90's and 80'z and even back to the 50's. I listen to old music and then get the good mood to it. When I think could find the right type of music for whatever we are doing, I always find it. I used the instrumental form the song Ready Or Not by The Fugges. I really thought music was just entertainment. Now I learned its just what I need for our Imovie!
I also learned that I could recognise the easy detail, When Saleh and me were looking for information, it didn't take me much to find the trustful sites and the information. I could find the small meanings of the sentences and made them into chunks of information. I had little trouble explaining to my partner and he had trouble explaining to me. At the end we ended up good with good information.
I also noticed that i may work better with Logic, not that I cant work with gestalt, its just that I think i would do things different with a logic. I can imagine a different presentation with a combination of gestalt and logic, this way its a combination of the creative side and the knowledge side (In my opinion of course). In this way the way we think could change, the information and facts. I noticed that with my partner and me we would take time with our typing and agreements.
