Experience with filming and groups

 Getting to work in a small group was honestly good and bad. Since it was just me and Lucio it was difficult since he wasn’t in the class, he never learned what i did which meant he couldn’t help much with anything other than filming and helping me with some ideas for editing and writing about stuff. He couldn’t edit for me, help with blogs, or anything like that. When working with the group last year in AICE Media AS, we had a group of 4. Each person in the group had a role in something, we all did one thing or two to help each other out so it would be easier for us to edit, do blogs, film, and brainstorm. We would have one person drawing the storyboard, one person coming up with ideas for the movie, one person for editing, and one for the blogs we would divide into paragraphs instead of having just one person writing the blogs when we were able to have all the blogs looking the same. This year i was by myself on editing, writing blogs, getting ideas and all. It was tough but i got through it all and i hope it all came out good. I’ve never liked working in groups because then we depend on eachother for stuff and there’s always people who don’t do what they’re supposed to and they’re lazy with their work. Working on my own has its pros and cons and i’m okay with that. Lucio helped a lot when he offered to help me film. When i first told him about it he was actually excited and he asked if we could film about something he likes so it could look better and he wouldn’t have to act or fake anything. That’s when we chose to film about soccer. Lucio has played soccer ever since he was little, he fell in love with the sport and hasn’t stopped since. Even though he wasn’t really good at the sport until a year or two ago he still liked to play and have fun. After we filmed, around a day or two after, Lucio was playing soccer on thanksgiving day and he got badly injured. He tore his ligament on his left leg. He isnt able to play for almost two months, which wasn’t great for me because i wasn’t able to re-shoot and change what i didn’t like about the footage we first got. But at the end i had to work with what i had because i wasn’t going to be able to find someone new in such a short period of time.
