Changes Made to get to the Final Cut

Our preliminary task set the bar very high to impress an audience. Because we were amateurs at the time, Sir Zia wasn't expecting much, which meant he was pleasantly surprised with what we brought to the table, and he only expected it to get better. Honestly, so did we, but we didn't anticipate what being in A2 would do to us - we were bombarded with work, which not only meant creating the project was difficult, but having to get our creative juices flowing positively and channeling them in the right direction with inspiration was the most difficult thing to do. Our preliminary task ended up becoming a hit, so changing it a lot might have affected the impression initially created of the strength of our video, raising the stakes.
