Videos I liked and learned from...

I really loved this group's video.
Some things I really learned from and admired were...
The many colors that grabbed the audience's attention. I learned different ways to maintain the audience's attention, from watching their video.

The special affects used as transitions into a new scene or interview. I admired the fact that their video was not at all choppy. I was impressed by the way they made their whole video flow.



I really liked how this video had a personal story right at the begining. It showed me that personal stories can really capture attention, and are very meaningful to teens. The personal story was very relatable.

I also liked the font this group chose for their video, and the way they had their font constantly typing and moving, giving it a mood of facebook, or technology.

I really admired the music this group put together, which was all created by them. It gave off an intense vibe, which went along with their video warning against cyberbullying.

Reflection on Our Final Draft Cyberbullying Video

What parts of your video are you most satisfied with and proud of? I am most proud of all the hard work we've done on our video. I'm proud of the fact that we've spent so much time outside of class working on our project. I'm also proud of the big improvement from our rough draft

What comments from others were helpful to you in creating your final draft? It was really helpful when people told us that shwoing Elissa and I speaking created a warm vibe. They showed us that we should show more of us speaking than just pictures. It was also helpful when people were honest about what parts of our video bored them.

What changes did you actually make on your final video? We added music, and interview clips. We also added more clips of Elissa and I speaking.

What changes would you make if you had another day or two? If we had more time, I would want to add more music during the time we show pictures. I would want to learn how to make the music fade in and out throughout our whole video. I would also want to add more special effects.

If you had the chance to do the project all over again, what would you do differently? I would definately plan out our time better. I would direct certain people to certain tasks so everyone would be doing the same amount of work.

What realizations, discoveries, and understandings did you reach about creating videos? I realized how much hard work and time goes into creating videos. I also began to understand how many films are created, and how many different effects are out there. I also realized what big issues cyberbullying and sexting really are.

What other thoughts do you have about your own project? To be honest, our project was really stressful. Alot of times we would try to edit different things on our video, and it would go all wrong. And I always felt like we didn't have enough time. I tried to work on breaks and after school as much as possible, so I'm confident I tried my best on this project.

Reflection on Our Cyberbullying Group Video

Our rough draft was finished and presented to the whole class Tuesday, the fifteenth.
Out project began on a rough start... when each of us in our group had troubles on our workshops, which procrastinated our project.
We only had 20 minutes of filming time, by the time each one of us were finished with all of our workshops.
We were pretty satisfied when we realized all the information we had collected after watching our film.
But as we began editing our film, we realized that our whole filming had been just of Elissa and I sitting down talking. There was really no action, and both Jorge and Alexis weren't in the film. But we couldn't go back and re-film. We were already running out of time. So we edited what we had the best we could, trying not to make it seem like a monolague. Alexis and I, the last day decided to make our film mostly pictures, hoping to make it less boring.
But when we had no time to add any music, or cool effects, our video ended up just what we feared.
boring.
We were pretty proud of our credits though- we put a lot of time and effort into them.

So now, after we saw how much more work we need to put into our film, we've decided to put in music, add a little more effects, and hopefully get in a bit of an interview. I'm sort of worried that we may not be able to acomplish all that in just one class period. But, all we can do is try our best, and hope for the best.
