Why i chose my group

For my group its only me and one other person. My group mates name is onara. Onara is 15 years old and a sophomore like me. These past 2 projects i have also worked with only onara, so it's been just us 2. We never expanded our group after the first project because we work well with just us. Me and onara have been close since freshman year last year because we're on the same volleyball team. Since we were already friends it makes the project easier for both of us to do. We're both comfortable around each other, and our parents are friends which makes it easier for us to do things to film. Since they're friends their comfortable enough to trust their kids with each other. If I was working with a stranger my mom wouldn't allow me to be going over to her house to work. Me and onara also work well together because we know our strengths and weaknesses. Her strengths are filming and editing, while mine are acting and preparing. Onara always does the filming along with the sound effects, transitions, etc. Im always the actress in the films, along with coming up with what's going to happen in each scene and the idea for our projects. I also supply all the props we use in our videos. this includes clothing, automobile, house, and the little things we've used in each project. Im weak in the editing department, which is why i'm the idea maker. Onara on the other hand has a strength with editing which we realized in our first project. We both tried it and we realized it wasn't for me. Along with that though we also realized i will be the one setting up our projects in the future. I think even if I had the chance to add a new member to our group I wouldn't. This is because me and onara now have a system of how we run things.

My perspective of the editing

 As we know from last project and this one, onara is the editor and camera woman while i’m the actor and idea person. With our final task coming up we have both realized that i’m going to need to learn editing. This is because the video will be longer than anyone we’ve ever done, which will make it trickier for onara to edit. Longer clips to edit, longer clips to film, transition etc. So i decided that i would be with onara while she edits this time. This is so in the future i know how to help her and i can learn by watching her. What we did is for the first part of editing which was cutting the scenes. Basically just cutting the scenes to be shorter so we didn’t take as much time in the video. This was easily done on the iPhone just by clicking edit on the camera app. Then she started putting the clips together. She put the clips together with an app called cap cut. I downloaded it myself so i can work on editing videos together in my camera roll. After that she added the sound to...

  I chose onara to work with for many reasons. The first reason is i see her almost everyday afterschool for volleyball. So i would be able to shoot with her after volleyball or before outside of school. Secondly, Our parents are friends. They trust that we will be both safe in either of there hands. If i had a partner whos family i didn't know, my parents wouldn't be to comfortable leaving me in their care. Another reason why i chose her is because she's good at finding the needed and correct research. If we need to find something ASAP she is able to quickly find it. She also is a good value to the project because she knows how to shoot. What i mean is she knows how to recognize angles and shoot them clearly. What i can bring to the table is resources. We have already thought about our commercial and what we were thinking i can provide the resources we need for it. Such as the props needed and the transport needed to go where we need for shooting. I also am an idea creator...
