For this project I will be working by myself. This decision was mostly because I do not know anyone well and have not made a friend yet at this school. At first I considered it a downside.With a group we could split up the work and would require me to do less and focus on other things simultaneously. As a result of being alone it would cause me to have to do a lot of things on my own and getting adjusted to with certain tasks. I feel like the most challenging part of this project especially with going solo would have to be the filming. The rest of the project definitely will not be a joke as I am gonna have to learn how to video edit and actually start video editing despite me having never done it before. However while being alone had a lot of downsides it had upsides as well. Working alone means I do not have to worry about if someone does not do their part. As the sole member I can do whatever job necessary whenever it is convenient. Any role I wanted to play would be done exactly the way I wanted to do it.However being in a group or alone does not mean everything will go according to plan.Being alone means a sickness could hinder your plans and there would be no one else to do it for you.Being alone also meant that if you were absent you missed out on a day of information that could have been helpful to your project. Being in a group does not have that same issue because a group member could inform you about what you missed.Being in a group also means if one person does not do there job then the whole group suffers as a result of it.I feel that being alone was probably the best choice. It would allow me to work at a pace I was comfortable with and I would not have people constantly asking about the project at times where I did not even wanna think about it. Being alone also meant choosing which place I wanted to do the project in without needing a group consensus. Being alone will be very beneficial in the project even with a few downsides. Overall while working alone and working as a group has their downsides and upsides I have decided to work alone.
