Week 5 has been an interesting week. So much to do and so little time! I was a little leary at first of working with a group. I like online classes because I can choose when and how much time to spend without waiting on anyone else. I will have to say the thought of working with a group was a little less than appealing.
Now the good stuff... what a group. I was so impressed with the work ethic and dedication of my group members. We encountered several issues but seemed always ready to resolve them easily. It seemed when life happened for one member of the group others picked up the slack as needed. I had the video portion of the PSA. My first series of video clips turned out good but we decided we needed some additional shots. Mother Nature had other ideas. It rained for five straight days and we couldn't get outside to do the shots we wanted. Next sick children, basketball games, and my job were also getting in the way of my time to work. I realized luckily that we had enough video to use without the extra shots. One thing I learned is to always have more than you think you need in order to get what you want in the editing process. After going through this process with the group and everyone having their roles I decided that we definitely had a better final product than I could have done by myself. As a leader I feel that projects require adequate time in order to deal with issues that might arise and also a lot of understanding on life and and personalities of others.
I have learned that sometimes it is wise to choose and work with a group instead of trying to do it all yourself and to learn to appreciate the value of others. PSA - Texting While Driving
