Group Dynamics

 Cooperation Behind the Scenes

Welcome back, everyone! Today I will be talking about our group's compatibility and teamwork throughout the course of this project. While I may seem critical at times, I still am very glad that I got to work with Rayyan, Edison, and Eugene, and it has been an outstanding experience so far.

Rayyan

Rayyan has probably been the most influential person in the group. Working with him has made this project seem a lot easier than it should. This is because Rayyan assumed responsibility over leading our group, planning just about everything! He was the main brain behind our movie idea and he was the most involved in coordinating the shooting dates to make this movie possible. Our entire project timeline would not have been possible without his MASSIVE contribution. I think Rayyan and I had the best relationship throughout the project. He would always depend on me when he needed assistance, and I was always glad to help him out! Overall, working with him has been the best choice, given his outstanding work ethic and the amount of time he dedicated to the project.

Edison

Edison was also an amazing person to work with. Given it is his senior year, I enjoyed making memories with him before he leaves high-school. Edison has been the creative front of this project. His adventurous, artistic mind was perfect for our group as he took on many of the creative tasks like storyboarding and the overall mood of the movie. Edison did have occasions where he was unavailable, but that was out of his control. Sometimes, his family did not allow him the time to work on the movie, and he did encounter some issues with car availability. In the end, Edison proved to be a great person to work with and his intriguing personality made this experience enjoyable throughout.

Eugene

Eugene is one of my closest friends, but in all honesty, I believe he contributed the least. This isn't t to say that he didn't help. Eugene was timely and carried out all his responsibilities in the group. The difference is that Rayyan and Edison did more than they were obligated to, creating the distinction. Still, Eugene was beneficial given his logic to our group. He took frequent smart decisions to help guide our group, and he stepped up during film day when we ran into many problems. His fluidity and ease in adjusting to change made working with him very stress-free. 

Ultimately, our group experience was excellent. Everyone contributed enough on their part, and our close friendships made the project timeline both fun and efficient!
