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.
In this project, my title was the storyboard artist. I beleive I did my job very well because we came up with the idea and immediatly started coming up with ideas. When each and every detail was finalized we came up with the storyboard drawn. I beleive it was drawn up very well however, I beleive we did them too early without thinking about the actual filming part of it. So, in the end we ended up having to erase certain parts of the storyboard because of the changes we made during filming. I would definetely make sure we discuss the filming and how it will be done before we finalie our storyboard ideas.
2. How did you contribute to this project? Give at least 2 specific examples.
First, I was able to keep everyone organized by having our plan on the storyboard. I was able to tell people what kind of shots we were to use, and what was next. Also what music we would have playing and when the titles and such would appear in the video. I think that kept us very organized and it was a very good contribution. As said before, I think we should've worked harder as a group to ensure we that we knew the filming techniques before it was drawn because ideas do change.
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.
I feel everyone in our group made a lot of contributions and we really mended well as a team. Everyone had their different talents, and we all fed them off of eachother. In the beginning, we all brainstormed together and everyone had their own little ideas and after hearing ones - we finally came up with a project idea that put everything we wanted together. Which is why I feel the project subject was very unique - and we also had a unique way of portaying it. Nathalie was the main editor of everything and we all learned a bit off of her. We all contributed and listened to different songs in order to piece the video with a catchy song (the whistling!). All of us had different oppurtunities to be in the video and also got to film. For one, Stephanie came up with the idea of using a skateboard to film her walking down the hall way. Everyone put in their different ideas for filming and I beleive this helped us catching the audiences. Katrina helped direct all the shots and made sure we had the right setting and scenerio. Stephanie helped us realize what our proposal and our objective for the video was and also helped with the filming and being in the shots.
4. When it comes to dealing with differences of opinion within your group:
I beleive we worked really well as a group for this project. We had been together before and this allowed us to express our ideas freely knowing that everyone would listen and put their input too. There was a difference of opinions but we would discuss all of them and label the pros and cons of each as a team so we came to a concensus over all the videos.
5. In dealing with group members who were not fulfilling their responsibilities:
Everyone was assigned their roles in the beginning of the making of the video and this ensured everyone was aware of doing their work. We would also have mini meetings on BBM or Facebook in order to keep everyone on task. If someone was struggling, they would come to the team and we would talk together about the options to do them. Nobody was left alone if they were unsure and this made our group strong.
Ratings:

Excellent

Excellent
Overall, I would rate our group's ability to use the strengths of all of our members as:

How successful is your project? Give specific examples for your reasons.
Excellent
I think we did a really good job of gettig our video out and actually make it viral over different social medians. We also worked really well as a group because it was something we were actually all interested in and have een affected by the topic which made us work harder to make it good. Although a few changes and bumps along the way, our team worked really hard and worked really well together and that is why our video was so successful.
