Working Individually

Making this final product really forced me out of my comfort zone. Originally, I was able to work with my group members on assignments in Media Studies. However, we weren’t allowed to work in groups for this project due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Before, we all split up work amongst ourselves and we were able to combine all of our ideas together. Doing this project, I had to take on a lot more work including coming up with the idea, crafting and formatting the script, shooting, acting, editing, and more. The hardest part for me was the shooting. I had to prop up my phone to film and couldn’t do any camera movements (except for one POV shot) because I was the only actress and I couldn’t have anyone else film it for me. Another thing I struggled with while working by myself was that I had to be creative while working with no equipment, which I will further dive into in the next blog post. I also had to edit the film by myself, which was also a struggle as two of my other group members typically took on that task. Overall, I am decently proud of my final product that I put together by myself and overcame many obstacles to produce it.
