 1. We prepared for the video by coming up with who has access to what and we started from there. One of our teammates had access to a teddy bear and a backyard so we had an idea of a spot where the video will be made. Then we made sure we had all the right materials to start filming, for example, we checked to have a fully charged phone on hand and made sure we had the right lighting that will describe the scene properly. 

2. The software we used is called Canva and the limitations to using this app is that not all the editing tools we wanted to use was free, so this denied us the fact of getting 100% creative with the editing process. We were also unfamiliar with the technology for we have never used this software before like changing the duration of a text box or stacking clips on top of each other, so the time editing it did take longer than expected. Other than that, it was overall a good app to use for music, cropping clips out, changing the title of the text, and choosing what color we wanted for the fonts.

3.The hardware we used to film this video was an iPhone and the limitations were because of its regular camera it does not have the best high-quality footage compared to expensive cameras, so it was hard to record any far angles without reducing the quality of the video. Same goes for the sound as well, some shots would come out muffled and just overall didn't sound the best, so we'd have to retake some shots. One of the benefits to using a phone camera were everyone has easy access to it so we could always rely on each other's phone in case someone's died or wasn't working properly.
