Group Blog (2022/23)

  I would like to do my A-level film in a group. Last year, I expressed my uncertainty on the topic of groups. I stated how I often found it easier to work by myself because you have full control over all the components of the project. I went on to say "You do not have to rely on other people, and you will not be dragged down if they forget their work". I remember stating that there was no clear answer, but this year, I have come to a conclusion. I decided that the best way to go is to put my trust in the abilities of my group mates. I would like to partner with Max, Jibril, and Alec because I believe it will make creating the film easier. Max is someone who can point me in the right direction. We have been in many of the same classes over the last couple years and we have gotten along very well. He has, and presumably will keep track of what elements need to be included and help with the design process. Considering that I have some artistic talent, I will be doing the storyboard, acting in the film, and doing some camera work if needed. Max will be helping with filming and other miscellaneous tasks. Alec will be in the film acting and he will also help us brainstorm. Jibril will be the main character in the film and will help with editing. We have gathered some ideas on what to do, but still need to brainstorm more. We still need to discuss our ideas with each other to figure out how the film will play out. I think that this group will be beneficial for all of us. It will help us strengthen our individual media skills. I am confident that the project will go well working with these people. I have known them for a while and will be productive working with them.
