   I've chosen to work by myself. I rather work by myself than in a group. Working in a group can be difficult. Everyone wants to add their two cents and reinforce their arguments. One person may be eager to impress the teacher by taking up all of the work, while another may prefer to do nothing. There are so many different people expressing opinions when working with several people, there is more likely to be a conflict of opinion. Working alone, on the other hand, removes all of the tension associated with group projects. No one can tell you otherwise, so you must make your own choices. You won't have to worry about competing or lazy peers, and you'll have more time to concentrate and enjoy a more efficient workflow. With fewer distractions, you'll find it easier to focus, work faster, know exactly what's going on, and have a better knowledge of the project or task you're working on. You not only get your way, but you also take complete ownership of any assign...

  This project was a lot of fun. From filming to editing and revision. Watching the progression that the film has made is very rewarding. Showing everyone and saying "wanna look at our music video" then watching their reaction brightens up our day. Not only did we face a lot of adversity but we got it done and most importantly we did not give up. When time was running out and it felt like we would make it we hustled. When our original plan failed and it was looking like nothing was going our way we hustled. Communication is key and when doing this project I really learned and understood that. Without the communication we had none of this would've been able to be done. It was a great experience and we learned a lot and used what we learned in the past to better our film. Moving forward we grew stronger as a team and worked well together from the start, this is only the beginning of a long roller coaster.

  Editing went smoother than we expected. Taking in the lessons from the trial and error when editing the commercial we knew the ups and downs. It was easier because we already had a software we were comfortable with working on. When putting everything together, patience is a virtue. Everything looked a mess and it gave me a headache. I just wanted to throw it away. There was a lot of clips that needed to be cut and edited it was a bit overwhelming. We left the film alone and came back to it later on in the day with a clear mindset of getting it done. We worked in 30 second pieces which made it easier to form everything. we made a mistake thinking it was going to be Like the commercial which is why we tried to deal with it head on. Aligning the clips with this song was the hardest part, besides scenery the actors had to match with the theme of song. There were a lot of re-tires and switching things up. In order to get the best out of the film we wanted to look at it with the differ...

  When filming it took a little longer that we anticipated. We had to do a lot of retakes to get the right shot and angle.we did a lot of negotiating and talking. The actors that we had planned, unfortunately could not be able to film in time with us. So we had to get last minute actors, they really came to the rescue. After we found our address, we did a lot of talking then walking, which I counted as a exercise. The film was very last minute, and it was kind of rushed. One of our actors wanted to quit mid way of the filming. The actor felt disrespected. We filmed on the bus, and there were a lot of people also on the bus, it was loud, hot and very bumpy. We pushed through and kept hustling. There was a limited amount of space and time but we got it done. At the time we just wanted to get as much film as possible. Throughout the filming we had to make sure everything made sense, recorded correctly in the end added up to the right amount of film. We could have plan better, communic...

  Although it was enjoyable to work with my crew members, I will be working alone on the next project. I have nothing against my colleagues, however working with others requires me to adhere to everyone's work ethic. I prefer to do my tasks as quickly as possible. When I was working with others, it felt like a lot of tasks were pushed aside and left till the last minute. It was worrisome for me because I'm not a last-minute worker. I didn't want to bother the rest of my partners by bringing it up again. So, in order to escape all of that, I'll just work alone. There were benefits and drawbacks to working with others. Because not everyone was available at the same time, scheduling was a good illustration. Getting everything done efficiently and effectively. There was a small lack in communication when pertaining to the work. There was a lot of procrastination and it's hurting us, when doing the project. We need time to get the right film and edit and if we wait any l...
