Our film is about rising ocean levels, and how this affects people. This relates to the 2022 theme of change by relaying how as the Earth warms it slowly melts ice, causing higher sea levels. The higher sea levels are the change we focus on in our video.

We found most of our information on online articles, like nationalgeographic.com, or wikipedia.com. Also, over time I have come to possess knowledge on this topic through watching documentaries, watching YouTube videos, and reading.

1. What is the project you have been working on?  What are the success criteria for the competition (i.e. how will your video be assessed)?  You may like to include a link to your video at this point (you can upload your video to Microsoft Stream).

We have been working on a video production in groups of 4, about scientific change in any form. Our topic was rising ocean levels.

• How did you organise your group? Did each person have specific roles? Did each person have the opportunity to contribute their ideas?  How would you improve your work in this aspect if you had another opportunity to repeat the project?

Each person had a role, for instance: editor. Ryan mainly took charge for most of the project, I did the script. If I did this project again, the main change would be that I would choose a different group.

• Did your group have any disagreements? What strategies did you use to resolve these conflicts? How would you improve your work in this aspect if you had another opportunity to repeat the project?

A few, to do with focusing and doing work. Not specifying any members of our group, but this was an argument we had.

• How did your group manage your time? Did you finish the project on time? How would you improve your work in this aspect if you had another opportunity to repeat the project?

Our time was a little stretched, but in the end we finished on time, due to the efforts of some of my group members (also not naming names here). If I did this project again I would try to get everyone on the same page ASAP.
