Group Blog

 When it came to deciding who I was going to work with for the commercial project I went back and forth between working alone, working in a duo, or working in a big group. I ended up deciding to work with two people I trusted a lot and have known for a while. These two people are Bliss Deservio and Luke Mehrhoff. I met Bliss in 6th grade when we had almost all of our classes and since then we've become very close friends. We've worked well together on multiple other projects, most notably in AICE Global Perspectives our freshman year. So because I knew we were a good duo, I knew almost immediately I wanted to be in her group. Similarly, Luke and I met in 3rd grade in elementary school. And since then we've also done several projects together throughout the eight years we've known each other, adding Luke to the group was definitely something both Bliss and I wanted. I think the 3 of us will work well together on this project because we each offer something unique to bring to the group. I've never had any issues being in front of a camera so I'd likely be the choice for the main actor in the commercial. On the other hand, Bliss told me she wanted to stay behind the scenes and since she is really into photography and cinematography she would be the perfect cameraman for the job. Lastly, Luke is very tech-savvy so I think he'll be going through the editing process for us. All 3 of us will be involved every part of the way helping with whatever is needed, but I think we have a clear leader for each part of the process that knows a bit more than the rest in their respective field. Even though we just picked the group earlier today I think the 3 of us have already brainstormed several great ideas for the project. We have already come up with a couple of brands and ideas for what we would do with each of those brands. The next step for us as a group is to choose which brand we want to make our project on and start to create a storyboard for whichever gets chosen. We intend to do this in our next class together which comes on Wednesday the 22nd. We also intend to make a schedule for when we want to accomplish each portion of the project. For example, having the storyboard finished by next week. Already as a group, we've shown good communication which gives me high hopes for the duration of the project.
