2.10 - Process Journal # 5

The process of working with my partner was long because of several reasons, when working with a partner you have to manage time. Sometimes one person would not be able to meet up to do the project together, so the only thing you can depend on is internet and sometimes that doesn't work either. My Partner is Using the IB quality of being Knowledgeable , she uses different ideas about the outside world and puts them together into one. The IB Learner quality that we are still working on is being Balanced , The reason is because of time , and we aren't able to communicate sometimes , but we always plan ahead of time, which always works when it comes to doing the work. My greatest strength as a team member is being open-minded , the reason is because i am open minded of the ideas of my partner , and if she feels a certain way about the concepts i choose ill explain to her why i chose it , and i respect her opinion. The areas that i need to improve in being a better team member is being a risk taker , sometimes i wouldn't agree with some dates because i feel that we might not get the work done on time , but if i focus more on the quality instead of making sure that ill give in anything on time , our work would come out better

What props will you need in order to complete your project? What music will enhance your animation? Why have you chosen this music?

The props that i will need in order to complete my project are the following , i need a background this background will be like a room to show that she was in the real world and thats where she starts transitioning to the "wonderland" world. The other things i will need is a camera the reason why is because at home i should be able to do some editing so that i wouldn't have to rush through anything. The music that i chose that will enhance my animation is sad/inspiring music , and that i think can go in either Alternative rock or Pop, the reason why we chose this type of music is because the main character in the story is going through hard times , and Alternative rock/pop sometimes talks about how maybe your going through somethings now , but life will get better , we have not fully decided the song we wanted to choose but one option was "Gift of a friend by Demi Lavato"
