Group #1
Group Members: Cam, Brad, Tasha, Tanner, Bailey, Sam and Buggy
What I Liked:
I thought that the interviews that this group conducted were of great quality. I though that good, thought provoking questions were asked to interesting individuals. I also thought that the explanations that were written in the presentation throughout the video were also helpful and made the video easier to follow and grasp.
What Needs Work:
Similar to the other two videos, the sound was hard to hear, but I can understand that this can be hard to control. Other than that, I would say that it was hard to follow, and that it left me with the impression that there wasn't much planning that went into the video and the clips were mindlessly thrown together.

Group #2 (My Group)
Group Members: The Illusion, Courtney, Da'Marcus, Jacob, Alyssa, Kaci
What I would Recommend to Future Students:
I would say that one issue that my group had was establishing a leader to be the chief decision maker. I felt like everyone contributed their ideas to the project, but we spent too much time trying to get our own ideas into the project. I would also say that before a group begins this project, that they should have their plan for the video envisioned and written out with decent detail before they begin filming, otherwise you end up with a lot of different videos that are hard to put together into a finished project.
How We Worked Together:
I think that we worked together very well. Other than the fact that we struggled settling on certain ideas, I felt that everyone used their skill sets to contribute to the project in their own way. I'm thankful that we had some video editing experts as well!

Group #3
Group Members: Elena, Ty, Keaton, Mariah, Boots, Kelsey, Carly, Mav, Sammy,
What I Liked:
I thought that this group had a really cool vision for their project: Putting tons of short clips together and narrating in the background. I though that it was easy to follow and the message/thesis was clear. I thought that the interviews were interesting and that there weren't many mistakes in organizing the clips to transition smoothly from one idea to the next.
What Needs Work:
While the videos generally went well together, it seemed like the interviews didn't have hardly anything to do with the skits. It's not that it was hard to tell what was going on, because I was able to put it all together and understand at the end, but if this video were shown to someone who had no idea what they were about to watch and had no background knowledge on the psychology of gender stereotypes, that they might be confused as to what they were actually watching.
