Final assignment

  I was the director in this group of 3. This experience was really different from before and I was really stressed in this project. The first time we shot the video wasn't good and we have to reshot with a different storyline. This project really changed me the most and learned a lot here. Like how the industry may be worse than this but I already dislike this project. Working with a different group members or maybe members I never worked before gave a bigger problem to me. I learned more about them and see the side of them they hardly show in class. I was surprised at first but now I can understand them more. I guess that's the benefits of working together. Things didn't go as well as I anticipated from the beginning of the semester when we are told about this assignment.

  Overall, maybe this is good for me as I always think that my path can just go straight and I'm always right on track. Despite the ups and turns during this project, I did learned a lot and got closer with my group mates. This lesson teaches me that I have to be more self confident, don't be afraid to add more suggestion to what have been discussed and the bad presentation taught me that it's never too much when it comes to extra clips.
