For the presentation day, Dominic created a powerpoint which can be viewed below:
Although it was so tough to work as a director, in this group specifically, I believe that I succeeded in keeping my calm throughout these past days and reminding myself about my devotion for film-making and desire for improvement, which helped me move forward in spite of having a lot of inconveniences. There was no teamwork (expect of me and Dom) and no clear desire from the others to make things right, from the very beginning.
However, I tried to understand their lifestyles and needs, constantly hearing their complaints about the weather or them being bored, without putting my title in the game, as in not claiming that 'being a director makes all of you listen to me only', since in my opinion it's pointless to do so, especially when there is a small crew. Therefore, I let them have their own views and ideas as well, nicely or subtly declining the inappropriate ones for our documentary, but I guess this type of behaviour wasn't enough for them.
To conclude, all I can say after all the hard work and stress, is that I am very disappointed in myself more than in my fellow group members, because I believe that I could've done my job as a director, but also as a team mate way better and we could've had a documentary of a higher quality. That's why I consider my role particularly, but also this documentary a failure.
On the self-evaluation sheet, I didn't fill the bigger box previously at home, since I wasn't sure if I needed to do so before or after the presentation and the feedback provided by Martine in the class. However, I wrote something similar to what I have mentioned above, but obviously as a summary.
