GMOs: Controversy Project – Final Video and Reflection

This project was definitely very different. In the past when doing group projects, I have usually spent much of the time working with the group together. This project ended up being different. We each had our own roles and had to get the job done. It’s hard for all six of us to edit a video, so Haseeb and I were to do that. Another thing that was different for me was the group dynamics. In the past when working on a group project, I usually had to take the lead and make sure everything was getting done and people weren’t being lazy. This time it was completely different. There wasn’t really any one leader and we all tried our best to get the project done. I enjoyed doing a project in a different medium. Usually, I would do projects for an English class through the use of PowerPoint or a Word document. Making a video was new. It was fun to try something different. What I didn’t like was that I wasn’t as big of a part of this project as I usually am in working with a group. Haseeb had the video on his laptop, so the only time I could work on it was when he and I were both free. On the flip side, he could work on editing whenever he felt like it. I tried my best to put in feedback and worked to improve the video. I wrote some dialogue and did what ever I could to do my part. My favorite section of the video is the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” section. I found it quite humorous. In my opinion, I think the final few sentences could have been messed with a little more. I just feel the ending didn’t sound right, but maybe that’s because I wrote that part. I’m usually a lot more tough on my own work. Everyone else thought it was fine, so maybe I just need to not worry about it. In the end, it was nice to just do something new and work with some new people. I think our hard work showed in the video.
