Group Blog

     For the upcoming music video project, I plan on working with three other people. Two of them, Kaitlyn Casella and Kamille Keith, were in my group for the previous project. I had previously said that I had planned on working with them again because I loved having them as partners. This time though we plan on working with one additional person from another period, Siena Louise. We all, once again, preferred to work together in a group because doing it by ourselves is most liley to be more difficult. I'm pretty confident that I can rely on them to do their part and get the work done. They seem to have good work ethic, and are good friends of mine so I know we'll work well together. We had an idea for the song we wanted to do, but still haven't come to a final decision. When it comes to who will be doing what (acting, filming, directing, etc.), we haven't had the chance to even touch on the subject, so hopefully we can talk more on that next time we talk. I'm very excited to start on the project with them. Seeing as to how well the last time went when we did a project like this, I am pretty confident it will go just as smoothly. I'm going to try spending these coming days coming up with better ideas so that we can solidify any final decisions about our project before we need to start filming. Fortunately we all have each others number so we have the means to discuss our project outside of class. It does seem a bit overwhelming, with all the work that needs to be done in such little time. It's why I'm so glad I have partners. I've always felt I'm better motivated during group projects. The fact that someone else's grade relies on my ability to do my work sort of prevents me from slacking off. Its both a good thing and a bad thing, seeing as to how I shouldn't allow myself to slack off whether I have partners or not. But, at least its almost a bit of a good insurance policy. I'm sure they'll appreciate my need to do my work for their sake over my own.
