My friends and I joined a documentary-making competition. It had three categories. Our team made an 11-minute short film on the topic Science, Technology & Environment. It was called Mobile Phone & Communication. To our surprise and delight, we won top prize.

We learned a lot from the shooting process. For example, we realised that producing an interesting, informative documentary is not an easy job. And as we had never made a documentary before, it was a both a challenge and a trial.

However, just understanding the difficulties was not enough for us to achieve our goal. Time management and co-operation were also important. Good teamwork can speed up progress and everyone can focus on their special skills.

I enjoyed taking part in this competition greatly. It was a rewarding experience for me.
