What did you learn?

I learned that there are so many more detailed parts that go into a movie. Often times when I am thinking about a movie or a short film I am thinking about it as one singular thing. Where as the fact of the matter is that there is a sound clip, multiple video clips, transitions, and so much more that goes into one movie. I also learned different techniques you can use when trying to create a movie.

What was easy?

This project was a lot easier just because a lot of it was taking new skills we’ve learned over the semester and combining them together to make one project. I think that this project also allowed people to attack it in many different ways.

What was challenging?

I think the hardest part was just putting everything together to make one flowing movie. You know you have things that are right for the movie like a sound bit, video clip, and some sort of flashing text that hits the screen, but you have to figure out the best way they mesh together. That was the hardest part for me was putting all the different moving parts to make one.

How could your submission be improved?

I think that we could have created a more cohesive movie. I think that some of my clips were kind of scattered where as I would have liked to see them more interconnected.

How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?

I think that this was a great project to end on because it allows students the freedom to create what they want while also using multiple different skills they have learned throughout the semester.

How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?

I think that I could use this in commercial real estate with virtual tours of an office space or building. There are a lot of brokers now that will make videos of a space so potential buyers can get a quick idea of what the space may look like.

How did a specific reading or video found outside of class inspire or help you?

I think the example video that you provided the class with was helpful. I know before we got into this project I was worried that we were going to have to make some crazy movie with actors and a story line, but seeing the video took the weight off my shoulders.
