Thinking about Our Final Values Video

Michaela and Cole

Positive Comments
We especially like the close up shots of Michaela and Chris because it helped reflect the reactions and the feelings of the characters.
-Ashley T. and Michaela C.
We liked this comment because we like our close ups and thought that they fit well.

We really liked the close up of the chew, because it helped emphasize the idea that they were going to chew the stuff.
- Kelsey and Kaycee
We liked this comment because it was something we planned and weren’t too sure about. But we’re glad it worked and that people liked it.

The first music came in right in the beginning and it was intense.
-Isaiah and Caesar

We especially like the extreme close up of the dip because it helped emphasize the idea that what they were doing was wrong.
-Jake and Alex

You could have had them meet up with Michaela and them smiling or some form of acknowledgement that they're good friends not trying to do anything wrong.
-John and Joselyn

we especially like medium shot that showed all of the students with the can of chew.
-Jacob and Morgan

Suggestions

You could have had them meet up with Michaela and them smiling or some form of acknowledgement that they're good friends not trying to do anything wrong.
-John and Joselyn
We liked this suggestion because it was something that we may have been able to do at some point. We also agree that this would improve our resolution.

Possibly make those go a little slower so that people can read it.
-Ashley T. and Michaela C.

You can add to the resolution by showing what happens when the students go back to class.-Jacob and Morgan
We liked this suggestion because we had thought about doing this but thought our video would be too long. If we could we would definitely add this.

you could make the sound louder so that you could hear the dialogue better. –Jake and Alex

Reflection of Rough Draft



The value that we are trying to represent is courage. I think what are group did well is make a good script and present our value well. Something we still need to complete is adding more close ups of all the characters to add more personality to them. ANother thing i think that we need to do is add more shots of us getting over to the ally. We want to know if the music really makes sense with the video. We were wondering if the camera angle worked when we did a close up of me. A challenge our group faced in creating the video was finding music. When we came to the end of editing we were still looking for music. It was hard because our group was split on what we were looking for.The boys had this idea that we should have some hard rock, screamo music, which didnt make any sense to me. I thouhgt that we should have music from a silent film, since we dont talk in the part where we were putting music. We were both looking the whole class. Then i found music that i thought would fit perfectly. I downloaded it, added it, and then made it fit in the video. It looked and sounded great. Then the boys found a song that they liked better, even though i didnt really like it or think that it fit. They put it in the video at the end of class. Then when i was gone they voted and that was the video that they uploaded. So i guess thats what we ultimitly did to address it.
