As of yesterday, our group did our presentation. But when this blog post was due, we were pretty much still editing and making our final script. Our final script was different from our final presentation because we had to make some final changes between the time the final script was due and the time the presentations were. For the most part we were behind on this project the whole time because we had trouble from the beginning as far as who was going to do what and who was responsible for what. We all were complaining about what other people weren’t doing and bragging about we were doing but in the end we all figured that we were all responsible for the way our final project turned out. Some people contributed more to the project than others but doing a lot of work and the work not being completely right or even helpful to the project just defeats the purpose of doing it. Some days we were focused and some days we weren’t. I am not going to blame anyone for the way the grade is probably going to be because it can’t change. I would have preferred different people in my group but the people we did get taught me a lesson. And that was not to try and envision the perfect group and dismiss the people I did get. Also I learned that the same problem I had with my current group could just as well have happened with those “perfect group members”. Our final presentation was a reading of the script we created.
The expectation of the group members heightened as the project deadline was coming closer and closer because of lateness our group already was facing. It was especially difficult to get things in at the last minute because this was the type of project where we couldn’t really move on unless we had the first assignments done. I found ourselves behind at the point where we were supposed to have the lines on Google docs and everyone wasn’t getting their lines up when they were due. This made it harder to move on to getting the first rough draft of the script done because we needed all the lines to do it. And since we didn’t really have the rough script, we couldn’t move on to getting the final script done when that deadline was coming up. And since the final script wasn’t how we wanted it to be when we needed it, we had a very hard time getting the presentation together.
The choices we made about editing the script were that we went through the book and found the description before every scene, which was an outline of the important things that were going on in that scene. We used that description to get all the plot points. We found out which scenes highlighted our scene and used the lines of the plot points and the lines about jealousy to create our script.
