People and Characters Wall Collaboration: Finished Wall.

This is the final image of the wall that was taken. Working with other people in such close quarters and as a collaborative effort, I appreciate the different ways people take in producing their works, and that everyone takes different paces. I worked more closely with Dan than anyone else I think, and that was very interesting to work so closely with someone who was essentially a polar opposite to me. He took so much time meticulously fine tuning every detail and seemed to see imperfections where nobody else did - and whilst I can be quite the perfectionist, I don't really achieve the levels of detail in my work that he did. Being closer friends with Jak and Michaela, I already knew roughly what to expect from their work so it was very unusual to work with someone I didn't know as well.

I enjoyed the time I spent working on this wall, stresses and everything included, and overall I am happy with the final result - however, that isn't to say I don't believe it could be improved, and there are aspects of this project that I regret.

My main regret would be the lack of group planning - the amount of time we all had to spend developing our characters left little time for planning the wall itself - a lot of this was improvised, all planned around eachother as we went along. It made it seem a little disjointed at times. Along these lines I also believe we should've applied more rules to this project - it was noted that we were one of the only groups who did not fight the entire time, and this was probably down to the absolute leniency we took, the freedom we had - again, all contributing to the wall feeling a little disjointed.

It is, however, nice to see the very different styles of four different people come together on a project that was difficult to manage in the given time scale, and feel we all did very well considering the pressure we were under.
