Thinking About Our Final Values Video

Positives:  actors committed a 100% (Cassie&Alexis)

8.5 for editing (Cassie&Alexis)

The name is fine, (Cassie&Alexis)

I especially liked the establishing shot, because it sets up the entire short film (Jaay)

Suggestions:   The end credits need to disapear fulling before the BLOOPERS comes out. (Cassie&Alexis)

The resolution is pretty clear BUT you could show Amanda walking up to Alejandro from behind to come talk to him to add to it and also fix the odd transititon. (Cassie&Alexis)

You could maybe add some music to show the tension between Alejandro and the bullies. (Jaay)

I would recommend changing the background of the title scene to be a little bit more fitting to the film. (Jaay)

The comment made by Cassie and Alexis help us feel confident in how we portrayed our caracters. Also on the theme we feel like we did a good job. A lot of suggestions that we got was on addiding music in the part were the bullies come in which we do if there is time which there should be.

The two best seggestions we got wher addding music and showing Amanda walking up to Alejandro.

Video



1)The value that my group and I are trying to represent is speaking up for others when they are in need.

2)I agree with Sam when she states that our group has done the editing well. Each one of us shared the work of editing and putting in our own ideas. Also as Sam states we added comedy to our video by having two girl bullies bullying a boy.

3)What my group still needs to complete is the transition between Zach and bulllies leaving and Sam and Luis talking.

4)What we need most feed back on is if our video flows smoothly and if the transitions are understandable. And also if we used the right camera angles as Sam states.

5)At first we descovered that we needed a second person to play the second bully. We got Michaela to play the second bully. Also having two females playing the bullies; we were unsure how peoplle would react to it but we were able to get around that and sell the theme we were trying to portray.

My group and I planned the shoots by first loooking at where we werr (the setting) and then going from there. I belive that my group and I did not fully folow the rule of thirds. In some shots the person is right in the middle but in others it seems as if the person would be alighned with the rule of thirds. The impressions that the over the sholder shots creat is that it allows one to see the characters expressions and reactions. It lets the viewer get into the act. The dioluge seems very realistic. The challenges I faced while editing was figuring out exactly where to edit/cut the clips. The dominant tone is someone who is very agiteded in to knowing what the money is for and the other character is indiferent. When ever I do over the sholder shots again I have to be sure not to cut out the person im doing the over the shoulder shot, I need to keep them in the shot. Remembering lines is important and try not to cut out a person and don,t face the sun when filming.

I think that my partner and I did a good job on getting the right information about the cultures, it wasn't made up. I also believe that we did our best in edeting the video. In my part there are alot of errors I cold haved fixed. My part of the video is very choppy and it couold have been edited alot more to smooth out the clips. Our story line was good. We wwere consistnet and stayed on the topic of our holidays that we were presenting. The images we chose worked great. The Showed part of the elements that the culture uses for ther holiday. In my part I feel like I am a little transparent, not a lot, because of my grayish balck jaket. im wold have like to add more music, we have music in the begining and end of our video but not trhough out the video so that would have been nice to add. Also more interaction between the two of us. We set up the diologe so we are speaking to each other but I feel like we could have done that more. My partner, Sam, and I helped eachother by dividibg the tasks. We each lookoed for our own picturess. I edeited my part of the video and she edited hers but we both gave eachother input on were we should set out in and out points. We both cited the sources we used and created the title. In my part of the editing I feel like I could have made my clips more smooth because they seem chopy and you can see that it is a heavy transition from one clip to the next. What I would have done differently if I was given another chance to complete this project it would have been adding more music and editing my part more to make it more smooth.

This is our greenscreen project. What I learned by doing this workshop is how to import the picture on to the background. I also learned how to place it so it can be seen as if the person or group of people were actually there. I also learned how to eliminate the green by using keylight.

Cyberbullying What You Need To Know 1

The parts of the video that I am most proud of is the sound and the messege. Im proud of the sound because I liked how we made it flow. It was clear and understandable. It was not to hight at some points and then to low at others, it was consistent throughout the whole video. Im proud of the message because it was clear . I like how we chose to put it together, like starting of with what cyberbullying is and endind with prervention tips. It did not beat around the bush it was stright to the point. The comments we go from others was that we need to add a little more veriety of people but we did not have time to film more people and if we had more time like a day or two we problably would have added like one more person. The understandings that I reached about creating videos is that it is not easy. it recuiers alot of time comitment and patiens. By applying patiens and hard work the end product comes out good and it can make a good impresion on people. Im proud of my and my groups work.

What i learned from this video is on the audio. It feels like the audio of the voice overs needs to be a little louder. I also learned how to notice when to put brakes in the voice overs to give the audiance a break from all the information.
