This week our lectorial is about collaboration and research. It may not seem obvious but when you actually think about it, our life is full of collaborations. However why do we need to work with others? Simplest reason is, doing things alone brings a limitation to your work.

Teamwork is one of the most important things in the media industry. The TV shows and movies we watch on regular basis cannot be done by one person. Actors cannot be in front the camera and stand behind it at the same time. One person may be able to be the director scriptwriter and actor at the same time but he still needs a huge amount of people to help him finish a movie.

Another example, being a youtuber. Most of these most popular youtubers have a team working together, because a team brings more thoughts and more creativity to make the video better. A person who’s good at writing down ideas for the video may not be good at filming it, that’s why sometimes teamwork is crucial in making something.

By collaborating with people, you get to learn more knowledge from others, each person in the team may get to do less work and the finished work can be so much better than an individual work. Overall, collaboration is healthy for us.
