GoFundMe - Completion

Today the GoFundMe was completed, just in time for hand-in! We reached our goal of £500 with the help of our friends and family collectively, and through sharing the campaign across our social media platforms. At the start of the campaign over a month ago, I thought we would struggle to reach this amount. Whilst at times it did seem like we weren't going to get there, we had the occasional surge which edged us closer and closer each week. I feel like the importance of the money coming in from the GoFundMe page has been understated. Without this funding the film would not be what it is today. The money has allowed us to achieve everything we set out to achieve with production design, costume, props, and has now allowed us a leftover amount which is to be dedicated to festival entries. 

I strongly believe that this campaign demonstrated our commitment to the project, which ultimately bolstered the amount of donations. I like to think that with each donation people have invested in our passion for our chosen area. Looking back I don't think we would have reached our target without the GoFundMe video which we made a few months back. On top of FMP I see the GoFundMe as a worthy side project for all of us. We were able to demonstrate professionalism in front of camera, and in doing so I think we were able to grow as individuals. Doing anything that makes you uncomfortable can so often make you better at that thing, so I'm really glad everyone on the crew agreed to do it and presented themselves so well. 

In summary the completion of the GoFundMe tops off what has been an incredible Final Major Project for everyone involved. It has given us a platform to create this film to the standard it is currently at.
