Our group decided to do the song Love yourself by Hailee Steinfield. We chose this video because it has a very upbeat tone and has a super positive message we wanted to portray. Our group honestly didn't story board much,  we mostly just took inspiration from the video and wanted to capture the overall tone but didn't want to copy the video frame by frame. I took the part as the lead role in the video and I also contributed a lot into the directing and editing. This video really helped me get more confident in editing in Premiere Pro, and our video specifically really allowed me to get better at sequencing. As for my technical skills, I didn't learn much about actually filming because I was in front of the camera but the fact that I spent so much extra time editing really allowed me to perfect my editing skills. Our group struggled with communication, but we worked through it by talking to Mrs. Zimmerli and being open with each other and still producing a video we all were proud of. I feel like I demonstrated a lot of leadership by encouraging my group to keep positive and not contributing to the negative feelings but trying to fix them. Our group managed this project well, we were one of the first groups to get a jump on filming but we needed to focus on getting as many clips as we could have and spent time wisely because we were still missing shots closer to the deadline. If I could do this project differently,  I wouldn't chose a team off of who I am friends with. I would chose a team with people who are reliable, positive, communicative, and passionate about their work. I really loved being in front of the camera, and I feel like this will come in handy when I go into convergence next year because I know I would love to anchor. For my next project, I will be more certain of what shots we need before filming. I want my team to also spend our time more wisely so we can accomplish more and have more time to add polishing touches and really perfect our piece rather than just throwing it together. In conclusion, I really loved this project the whole way through. Even when it was tough I feel this was really a turning point for my knowledge in video.  I also loved getting to see our over classmates videos.
