Individual evaluation

As I was working in a group, we divided the roles accordingly, the way we felt would work in everyone's advantage. I was the lead actor, editing manager and also co producer of the video. I felt that this role was best for me as I have had previous experience in front of the camera, plus I felt more comfortable than any of the others singing and acting at the same time.

I think that this was still a challenge for me personally as singing and acting together are not as easy as it looks, but I feel i performed professionally and well throughout.

I didn't have much time with the camera while filming as I left that too another member of my group that was in charge of camera work. Throughout the filming, I did input my ideas and make my thoughts known, but also knew when I had to take a step back and listen to others ideas.

As a group we where very nervous about the project, and in all honestly probably over though some aspects, especially while filming. We would some times film something that wasn't necessarily completely part of the concept of the song, and from their it would be a waste.

During editing, I was in charge with the assistance of my group, and slowly but surely, I was able to link all visuals with the adequate texts and make it looks as professional and accomplished as possible, without any sort of cost needed. We made use of what we had effectively.

If I had of been by myself in the project, I think I would have had less ideas than I did at my disposal as we as a group had many ideas and bounced off one another to come up withy outcomes, some success, some not success, but we got there in the end. If I had of been by myself, I think I would of possibly had more time to command my scene's and filming would have been a little bit easier in the sense that I would not have had to find time where all 4 of us as a group where free, I could have just chose when I wanted to film, but overall I did prefer working in a group.

I felt this project really helped me understand how much hard work goes into a music video and all
the production behind it, as well as experiencing being under the spotlight. I am proud of my group, and how we managed to split up responsibilities and tasks was excellent. As a team leader, I feel that we done a good job overall.


There's me, Graeme McCullough.
