This semester in InnovatED, I was apart of the documentary team. Our team had a big responsibility to carry out an effective and engaging video explaining what we had achieved, despite the circumstances and how the other groups performed. I chose to highlight Leadership and effective communication because we had a very special way of showing leadership and an interesting time trying to effectively communicate.

Our leadership wasn’t based on only one person, it was based on what the circumstances were. For example, we would be all working collaboratively then an issue would arise and so one person would take the lead to explain to everybody, then we would go back to being equal.

Effective communication was an interesting point for us. Although we were collaborating together we weren’t communicating properly. For example, I would be working on sorting the videos and so organising who else was helping and what they were doing, then suddenly all my videos would be disappearing because somebody had already sorted them. If we had more time I feel as if we would be able to overcome this issue and work both collaboratively and have good communication.

 

Demo video

In 2019, Mr. Port (Head of ICT Integration at All Saints’ College) and Mr. Dahlstrom (Head of Marketing and Community Relations for All Saints’ College) approached me and asked me to film a week in the life of a Year 7. That experience was my first experience working with The Agency (the employment agency for ASC) and the technology and promotion side of anything! Bringing a GoPro around with me everywhere was an amazing task yet challenging as people don’t often behave the same when there is a camera on them. Nevertheless, I still watch back the video with a smile as I remember how much fun it was to film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfVATwxfpp8
