Availability and Technical Issues

During the creation of our video we of course discovered issues with technical malfunctions. Evidence of this has already been discussed with the issue of compressing the video which led to syncing issues.
Other technical issues which we discovered as a group were simple things like memory cards going missing and cameras not being charged, which led to inefficiency and slow progress within the production period.
Another issues which was apparent and common was that due to the small amount of macs which were available to use the two classes had to share the apple Macs with often two groups sharing one. Our group found that many time the other group would go and collect our apple mac just before we were supposed to have a lesson and therefore it wasn't of access to our group this situation happened often and led to our group being extremely behind and eventually arguments brewed between the two groups however after a while of misunderstandings and stress or failure the two groups managed to find a mutual understanding of how they could help each and balance the sharing so that each would be able to edit their video as they needed too in order to each meet their deadlines. All in it was a process of if we help them out now then they'll help us out later.
