Blog Post 4/13

Reflect on your group video project. What worked well? Where could you have improved? How would you approach this differently next time? What skills will you take away with you from completing this project?


I think that the video group project went well for what it was. If we were given more time, I think the story line would have been better developed and the quality would have improved.


Scott and I worked well together, although we realized we fight like a married couple. We were both able to discuss different ideas with one another and decide what worked and what didn't. The video project was a fun experience for us both and we wanted it to be educational and fun for those watching. We also never really had any trouble with the camera. I know some people in the class experienced difficulty and I was thankful that Scott and I did not.


When improvement is questioned, we could have spent more time on the project. We spent about an hour a day on the project for a week and the end result seemed like it needed more work. We both had busy schedules the week of the project though so time was definitely a factor when it came to deciding when to do different scenes.


If asked to do this again, I would have had a better plan. We kind of just laid out a topic and went with it. We thought of each scene as we came to it. I like to plan ahead so I feel I would plan out a better story line, know what scene is going to happen when, and know when is going to happen in each scene long before we actually get to it.


The skills I took away from this project include; working well with another student, learning how to operate the camera and its different functions, learning how to edit properly, and learning what stuff you need and dont need before it becomes just "Fluff".
