Conclusion

- Planning these ideas within my group has been very beneficial because it allowed us to understand more of the other genres and mix up our own to create a better and more original idea. Also, it is good for us all to be thinking about the ideas that we want to do and how we could portray these different genres within our videos. Moreover, it is always good to have more than one option and a lot of other creative ideas to draw upon to.
