50/50
Today, we finally created our "How To" show and I can honestly say I learned a lot from this project. 
1. Personally, film production is more enjoyable than television production because you get to take your time and you are not restricted with time limits and a certain "theme" like scrap booking or cooking. Film gives you a lot more creative freedom and if something doesn't work, you simply re-shoot it. Which brings me to my next point.

2. There is no room for mistakes. If the smallest thing goes wrong, it can possibly bring your whole production down to the ground. This happened to us today. To begin with, I think it took us a bit too long to setup today. There were some things we just couldn't control like Alexa's headset which wouldn't work. There were also problems with my mic which also would not work. 

3. We need to learn how to properly communicate with our teammates. I noticed a lot of confusion coming from everyone in the group and it just held us back. I guess maybe it's due to the fact that this is our first time but we need to communicate better in order to make a good show. We also had a hard time communicating because the mic on my headset wouldn't work and Alexa didn't have a headset either. 

4. Everyone needs to know what they are doing and need to be confident about it. From the talent, to the camera operators, to the directors in the back. People need to be assertive and confidently give other team members suggestions or requests. 

Overall, I think we did the best we could. I am not sure if we met the time limit or went overboard but this was our first show and I think that with time, we will gain skills needed for this kind of production. I am happy with my groups efforts and I'm sure that we will make a great morning show for next year that the whole school will enjoy.
