Choosing Groups and Storyboards:

This is the one of the first lessons of this project. Within this, we had to decide and choose our groups for the future as we will be working closely with each other to produce various pieces of work toward our A-Level. However, individually, we had to complete a storyboard by observing a music video. We had to grasp the importance of each and every shot that is included to create a positive effect on viewers of whom will witness it. This was a very difficult to observe because each shot changes almost instantly before you have time to recognise it's specific definition. Subsequently, as a group we began our strategy of planning out our own storyboard which included a variety of camera-angles and shots, to make ours as unique as possible.Moreover, I found that the duration of time that we were given was not enough to finish planning our storyboard, which was frustrating. Also, I found that heated debates within the group wasn't healthy for confidence and good collaboration - this was caused because as we couldn't agree on what shots to include - however in the end we found out that this was slightly effective because we threw different ideas into the outline, giving us a different awareness and views. We all agreed that other people's knowledge is beneficial.
