We, as a group almost gave up on our main character, Tariq. Time seemed to be going by quickly, and we were behind on our schedule. I warned him that this would be his last day before we have no choice but to replace him. He has the potential to do well in the music video, so I though hard about what we could do as a group to bring the best out of him. The song is not particularly his music taste, so I thought about playing a song that is similar to his taste, "rap," and observing him. We placed the camera, and went to the corner of the room where, we and himself, couldn't see us. After that, we observed the footage and saw that he was more open and less static when we are not there. So, with this experiment, I took a few shots with us, out of view site. To our surprise, he had improved! Tariq was moving much more, and sounding the words out much more. When he sang along, he mumbled so I suggested to just lip sync the song but open his mouth wider. We had decided as a group, that there was hope and that we were proud of him - he is staying in the group. Finally making substantial progress.
