Today was the first day of the create stage! We were finally started making our video. So today, I got most of the resources I need for the making of my video including a HD camera which will be excellent to shoot the video, the people that are going to take part/ act out some of the scenes in my video, and arranged places to shoot the video. I also installed windows movie maker on my PC at home to further use later on for editing the video. However I was not able to get a tripod stand to keep the camera on so I can shoot he video steadily. However, I will try get that or borrow from someone who has it, by the end of the week. In addition, I also asked my brother Adnan whether he can be the camera man and he replied with a yes. Getting most of the resources brought a great sense of relief, as now I have all the resources and materials but now I just have to build the building. The only challenge that I faced in todays task was to find people who can volunteer to participate in my video as most were busy with their own videos and more or less they didn't want to act. However, I overcame this challenge and eventually found 12 people (most are my classmates)  so far who can help in the making of my video. I was able to do so, by using my persuasion skills by explaining to them about why I am making this video and generally talked about the problem, project- planning skills as I had  to plan on who will do what and assign everyone their own roles and decision making skills as I had to choose appropriate and relevant people and resources for the video . To conclude, today was generally a wonderful day, got all my resources, and moreover I am glad that I am following the plan which is really essential to the success of my video. Am looking forward for the next tasks!
