narrative
In a quaint town on the fringe of Mississippi, a community college took on the ambitious project of merging traditional education with digital resources. Kevin, a determined manager, was tasked with creating an instructional video to democratize learning. He was faced with the complex decision of assigning roles to his diverse team - Emily, Mike, and Alex. The project required a delicate balance between two main tasks - articulating the educational concept and managing the technical aspects of video production. Kevin eyed Emily - a respected school teacher marking her decade in the profession, and a public figure known to command the masses through her speeches at local community events. However, Kevin also had vivid memories of a party where Emily, due to her lack of formal training in video production, had managed to botch all the pictures while struggling with a simple camera. Not to mention, her relations with Alex were a reason for concern, as Alex, a professional videographer, often found Emily's demand for perfection challenging, resulting in friction between the two. Emily's complaint about her ideas being dismissed by Mike added another ripple to the pond. The manager then turned his gaze towards Mike, an excellent mechanic known for his wrenched way around cars. It was no secret that Mike, although determined, wasn't the best candidate for the recording process - he had once botched a family event's recording by aligning the footage to his shaky and unfocused style. On top of that, Mike and Alex constantly butted heads due to their stubborn nature. Furthermore, Mike's lack of conventional teaching experience seemed to stack odds against him. His only instruction experience was limited to his dog, which made Kevin reconsider. Lastly, Alex stood as an enigma to Kevin. Here was a man, highly technical and intelligent, holding a degree in video production and working for a local news station. Alex's language, however refined and professional, was deemed excessively technical, potentially alienating the average viewer. Alex's apprehensions had not gone unnoticed either. He was not comfortable speaking in front of the camera and had issues with the recording process due to past experiences with Mike overstepping his boundaries. Alex's dynamic with Emily was no better as Emily felt undermined by him whenever their opinions on shot composition clashed. The trio with their individual traits and plethora of past experiences made the decision of assignment a challenge for Kevin. As he ran over all the facts again in his head, he couldn’t help but imagine the developmental trajectory of the video under their subtly clashing dynamics. With a final falling sweep of his hand over his face, Kevin decided it was high time to set the wheels of assignment into motion.
