For this project we had to learn about the neighborhood we picked and make a documentary about it. We also had to make a pinhole camera and take 12 pictures for a calendar. Including the pinhole pictures we had to have historical pictures and original pictures. The neighborhood me and my two partners, Carmen and Nymeisha, picked was the neighborhood of Hillcrest. We picked this neighborhood because we all really liked it and when I was younger I used to live near there.
One contribution I made to the project was the pictures. My pinhole camera was the only one that worked in my groups so we used mine to take the 12 pinhole pictures. The images that we used for 12 original photos were also taken by me. But that is not the only thing I contributed. I also helped my group stay organized, I helped them stay on task and get things done. I made a list of things we each need to do in order to meet deadlines and get this project done on time. I scheduled the interviews too.
What I would do differently next time is not do things last minute. I didn't do a lot of things last minute but on al the things I did last minute we got bad grades on and I would also work and test my pinhole camera. I think I had about 2 or 3 breakdowns where I started crying because of the pinhole camera. We had to go to Hillcrest about 3 times for pictures. The first time we took all our pictures and then realized that the whole time the film wasn't advancing. Then the second time all our film was underexposed and etc. I learned that I am a very demanding person when it comes to projects. and I tend to take charge.
