Takingitglobal, also known as, TIG. When I was first introduced to it I was having a mixed feeling, I was enjoying the fact that we were the pilot class, and we get to work with people and learn what they have to teach. But I was upset that we had to do another project involving research and having to work with the TIG members for seven months. When we started working with them I was actually enjoying the research we were doing, learning about a topic and its subtopics. We had to go home everyday and explore the TIG website. We had to post comments on other people's art and write comments and learn about what is on the TIG website. Later we started to watch the "flash'' Ben had done for each of the topics. All of the flash was amazing, it was hard to believe that a person standing right in front of us had made all of those wonderful, creative ideas put into the flash. I was getting excited when we were going to get the chance to make our own flash.
After a few months I got used to the fact that I was going to be working with TIG, and started going on the TIG website a lot. After I was introduced to my group members, who were Justine Chan and Kimberley Cheung I started to get to know, and learn about them and their lives. I thought Justine and Kimberley were going to be annoyed of me because I am so quiet, but it turns out when I talk to them my voice wasn’t always so soft. They were helpful and they did their assignments, and equally shared the work. Sometimes Justine would do the most work, she still had a good attitude. Kimberley isn’t as loud as Justine, thank goodness for that, but she still is hard-working. We had spent a lot of time together and put a lot of work into our film, and in the end our film wasn’t so bad. I was especially amazed when we got introduced to the camcorders, digital cameras, and the laptops. It was so exciting my group and I were going to make our own documentary film. We worked on the film for three months and it soon became boring but after the films were finished we were so glad we put so much effort into it. If we had not come in the morning and stay late afternoon then our film wouldn’t have been as good, all the work payed-off when we saw our finished film.
When the day of the film festival came I was so excited, finally my parents could see what I was working on all this time. Unfortunately my mother couldn’t come because she had to go to work at her job, but she was very upset that she couldn’t seethe film but I told her she will see the film eventually. When the night was over I was upset that we wouldn’t be working with the TakingITGlobal members anymore. We wouldn’t get to work on the laptops, skip any classes or make amazing films anymore. We had a great experience with TakingITGlobal, and I know I will miss them very greatly.
