March 27th - Weekly Reflection

Slackers Unite...yea, that was harsh.
The truth hurts.
Rough week much?

Tell me why this week was not "up to par" in your opinion? AND what can/will be done to keep this from happening again next week?

Are you looking forward to this week's critique sheets? I am, not because I am morbid but because I look forward to seeing how you handle the criticism.

Will the group become pro-active as a result of this recent failure? or will you make a come back. You HAVE created a fan base...will they support you?

Talk to me...

This week we really were just being very lazy and thats it. I mean its not really a good excuse but its the truth. I think that we just got tired this week and so when someone said 'we need to get this done' or 'we need more sports footage' we all kinda ignored that person because we didn't feel like goin and doing anything. All that we can do next week to make sure it doesn't happen again is to get everything done even when we don't feel like it.

No I am not looking forward to this weeks critiques because I know that they will probably be very bad. However, instead of gettin upset about what they will say I personally am goin to take everything bad that is said and make sure that we can fix those problems on next weeks show.

I hope that because of what happened last week that it will make us open our eyes and not sit around doing nothing in class when we could be filming something. I hope that our fans won't give up on us that easily and that they will still want to watch next weeks shows. I also hope that teachers will not start refusing to turn on their tvs whenever Ramtv comes on. Hopefully they will understand that we were having an off week last week.

This week was a rough week because no one wanted to do anything. No one gave footage to the editors so they didn't have anything to work with. When crunch time got near everyone started blaming people, when everyone was at fault.
We wasn't up to par because all the other shows were great and had a lot of information, and this one was just lame, and boring, and was just great like all the other ones. This week we need to not be lazy and get some good ideas for this show.
Im ready for the critique sheets because im ready to see what people had to say about the show and etc..
I dont think we will be pro-ative, all the class does is fuss. theres to many people wanting to take control, and let the show be the way they want, and feature the people that they want. People have there favorites but whatever i dont see why the class cant stop fussing over junk. People wont see other people ideas or anything then the people wanting to take control get mad because the people that dont like being bossed around arent doing anything. If the class gets along better everything will go smoother.

I think its because we just were lazy trifaling and good fornothing lol. na for real though i think every one was just tired and wanted to chill for a min befor we got back on track but i think we are getting back on the horse.

I am acctually looking forward to them because despite our slack effort i herd relly good reviews from people around the school althouhg im sure there is gona be a few bad ones, there always are.

I think we are coming back this week and our fan support is pretty high i mean we have had some good comments from tough teachers so ill think we can save it and pick it back up.

This week I thought our show wasn't as good as it could have been. The reason for this is because as a whole we were being lazy and not producing much. The whole show seemed not up to par, there were like 100 commercials and there were no real segments. Soccer was really long and I wish we had interviewed someone for soccer on the bench or something. Honestly, I expect the critique sheets to not be bad because this show was what everyone wanted, fluff, it was all funny and not very informational. I think that we have to become proactive to come back from that crappy show, and like you said the truth hurts. I am hoping our "fans" will continue to support us and if they don't we will have to earn them back.

We did not have any organization at all. We have certain people that wont their way all the time and they dont really care about anyone else's opinion untill that person gets mad or its too late. I think that we should plan out our entire show like we did when we first started. One reason we keep falling is because we are choosing features that we have not planned out and that are not envolving enough of the student body i think that we hsould stick to doing the ones that the students are most envolved in and are planned out well.
I want to see what the school thinks of the show because i think that we did terrible compared to the shows we have previously had. It looked like we just through everything together.
I really dont know becuase i always thought that we would but when you have one person calling all the shots its hard for others to put out their opinions because they think they will be torn down and the fact that no one really wants to say anything so that we can keep down confusion. I know that we have a real fan base because even though i thought we failed lots of students came to me and told me that it was a gud show. Even Mrs. Mauney told me we had a good show so i think that they are behind us % but i think they will tell us the truth.

I didn't think that this week was anywhere near par whenever I first watched the show but after seeing the schools reaction, I didnt think it was that bad because alot of people actually liked it. I think we have been working better together to plan and get all the filming done so I don't think we will have this probably again. Everybody is just getting lazy. No I am not looking forward to critque sheets if there are any. I think we were proactive because we started on friday before we had aired the bad show. Hopefully we will make a comeback. Yeah I think they will support us thru thick and thin because everybody has there hard days ya know?

I was frustrated because when everyone started becoming lazy, I couldn't do anything to get anyone motivated. I didn't want to carry the show, even though people were filming things, no one would follow through and make sure things were getting edited and finished. We only make awesome shows when the whole group is cooperative and motivated. I feel like we want to make a come back this week but it's going to be difficult because of the lack of time we have. We are trying much harder this week than we did last week, yet it still looks like we're coming up short to make the deadline. My problem is seeing people sitting around and not being proactive. Look at the sheet and do things for the current show. Only plan things for future shows when we are POSITIVE nothing can be done for the current show. Because a lot of things aren't getting done just because people don't realize how much we need something and won't come up with alternative ideas to get something filmed. I feel like we're all pushing through sickness and drama this week to work on this show. Hopefully it will be a come back.

There wasn't as much communication. During the time I waws doing announcements, I didn't even really know what was happening. I'm going to start asking more questions and start trying to do back up segments like the things with Mrs.Peak that I helped film.

The show isn't as great as we first started. We started very high and now we are still starting to slow down. I didn't think the show was one of our best works, but I had other people in the school to say its good. So one thing I may not think is that good, may be great to someone else.

I'm not sure if the group with come proactive because we are starting to get slack. At first we arfe like, "I can film this, I can film that," but then when it's time to do it, things always happens were we can't do it. Then after that fall back, we feel rushed to try to find something else.

This week wasn't very successful because we all slacked off as a group instead of working. This week we're trying to "come back" with the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme. I think this would be a good chance to come back but our expectations might be a little to high.

I really think th ecritique sheets will be better than expected becuase a lot of people liked the show and I didn't here in critism from students.

To be honest, I think we can make a come back with the fresh prince thing but I don't think we'll meet the deadline for Friday. Maybe, with more time the show will be a success.

Slackers unite!!!
The truth is quite painful
It was rough.

This week we were all very slack, what with other things going on outside of school. The end nearing, sickness on the rise. We've all got the bronx.

We can handle the criticism, we've put up with of lot of s in the past few years. Morbid is bad. :(

We will become proactive and fight acne all over the school. We have no fan base, some people are just dumb. :( jk, I' not sure. Peeeace.
