It's the start of a new project and the task we have been assigned is to film a 2-minute opening sequence for a film. Previously for the last filming projects, we have worked on my group consisted of Willow Rivera, Lucia Rodriguez, and Jacob Pinero. Unfortunately for this filming task, Jacob will not be working in our group. This is due to personal matters of his own, but with this missing spot in our group, our first concern is who will fulfill his position. What was most important to me when establishing a group is to have a sense of comfort with your groupmates. This is to create a safe space to bounce ideas off with our group. Lucia suggested for another classmate of ours Mia Obritis work with us. At first, Willow and I were very hesitant about this suggestion for several reasons. For starters, there was a lack of comfort with working with Mia. There wasn't any bond or friendship and when the possibility for a conversation arose she didn't entertain it. This was an obstacle to overcome when settling our group. As a group, we discussed our concerns and have concluded and acknowledge the awkwardness but we hope that as the project progresses the awkwardness decreases. We spent most of today just conversating in an effort to get to know each other better. Mia is an amazing person who tends to be more introverted, and I'm excited to work with her. With a change of group figuring out who will be the actors, director, filmer, and editor are essential. For the most part, we stuck with roles we felt we had the most experience in. For instance, I am the designated filmer who will aid in the production process. Lucia and Willow are the actors, while Mia is the editor. Mia has the most familiarity with editing but in an attempt to boost my level of knowledge I will be helping her edit. Since this is a group assignment nobody is the "director". This is to allow everyone's opinion to hold the same weight.
