Roles of the other production team members:
Answer the following questions in order to assess yourself and the effectiveness of your group and members and determine the problem-solving strategies that worked within your group dynamic.
1. How do you feel about the title you were given and how well you did your job in this project? Give specific examples of your experience.
I feel I did my job very well except I feel this project was a tad unorganized. We came up with all the ideas but it was hard to fit them all together in the story board before we actually started filming. After doing filming we realized how we wanted to change some scenes and what we wanted to add- such as making it a TV show. We went into the project sort of confused with all the ideas we had and that's why we kept changing the idea- which resulted in a story board that could have been better.
2. How did you contribute to this project? Give at least 2 specific examples.
In this project, I was the storyboard artist, helped film, helped set up shots and was also an actor. We mimiced a TV show, and everyone in the group had to fit under a specific role.In mine I was Brit Matthews and I lived in the beaches. I had to come up with my favourite cupcake store and why. I was also in charge of making the storyboard, and next time I would definetely try to talk to the group and say we should make a final story board with filming instead of doing the reverse.
3. How do you feel about the contributions from other members of your group and the division of labour (work) for the project? Be specific to each team member.
This project was vital to have full group participation. All the members of the group had a role to do acting and that's why it was so important for all of us to reserve a day where we could spend going around Toronto filming these cupcake places which was really good. Everyone was also very motivated because not only were we all friends going out but, we also got to try all these different cupcakes. Nathalie was the main one filming but, everyone in the group came up with really good ideas for when we were actually outside. Like for example, Stephanie came up with our bloopers idea and how we should film outside and Katrina would watch the video after being filmed to look for mistakes. We would all record then listen in the car to make sure the sound was alright too.
4. When it comes to dealing with differences of opinion within your group:
Everyone loved the idea of cupcakes, and we all agreed it was a good idea to make it a TV to potray it. It was also cool that everyone got to participate and say their 'roles' in the video. Everyone got to act like a character and that was a different thing for us all.
5. In dealing with group members who were not fulfilling their responsibilities:
It wasn't hard to make sure everyone fulfilled their responisibilites because not only was this project important but, you also didn't want to jeapordize your friends and their project mark. We all wanted to work together and make sure we came up with the best ideas. I definetely would make sure that we all came to agree for who got which part and who would say what in the video.

How successful is your project? Give specific examples for your reasons.
Good
The only reason I would say our video wasn't 100% successful was just because of the minor mistakes we may have made as actors in the video. I found it was a tad choppy at times - like the atmosphere where Katrina talks would change. I do beleive we had a really really good idea and that our way of portaying it was excellent too. In the future just the sounds in the background such as wind made the video not as good as it could have been.
