Organising time to gather and work was important for the project. We had to agree on suitable time for all of us. Time of filming had to be before the sunset so that the lighting is good. Memorising scripts took some time to become easy and fluently said. There were some difficulties we faced while working. We didn’t know what type of movie maker to choose and how to work on movie making softwares ,So we asked IT specialists. Quality of the video was a problem in the beginning, But practicing and time helped us to make Better. It was a new experiment that made me learn new thing about group work.
