      In the short film it addresses the issue of selfishness and taking someone for granted. In the beginning of the film, it starts out as a moment of rekindling of friendship between the two characters, where they highlight each other on significant moments in their life separate life and the one they both shared before. By this the audience gets a grasp of the two personalities of the characters and as the film develops and the scene changes the audience also gets to grasp the unfavorable traits of each character.

  Video:  What is your takeaway from the video? 12 Monkeys is a 1995 science fiction film that tells the story of a time traveler from the future who is sent back in time to prevent a deadly virus from wiping out most of humanity.

I am working with Nurdlie, a friend that I recently made. We share a lot of similarities and have the best time together. I chose to work with Nurdlie because I trust her with my grade. She is responsible and reliable. I trust that I can rely on her for help and support. She also shows a lot of commitment to her work. She is a visionary and I am a strategist, which made me think this was a good balance for a team. We’re skilled in different things, which I think could be helpful for this project. This way we can combine our ideas to make something that represents us. We share different ideas and perspectives and tell the honest truth about what we think of each. We tell each other when we make mistakes and improve on them. We work really well together. Nurdlie is also very time organized, which could keep us both on top of the schedule. Communication and efficiency are one of our strongest components, we keep each other updated and put time and thought into our work. We are both very f...
