5 Things I Learned: Video 2

This group opened my eyes on quick cuts to clips. It grabs the attention of the audience and when they are in the beginning, especially so. For the cultural traditions, I really want to put this in practice.

Filming people in their natural setting, or anything in the natural setting for that matter, helps give the video a more real and down to earth type of mood and I think for the next project I will include this as best as I can.

Even though mt group sped up the video, I think slowing it down is great too. When I saw this, it really made the video seem more dramatic and serious which worked perfectly for this project.

5 Things I Learned: Video 1

This group did an excellent job at recreating dramatized events to help illistrate the main points of the video. It really gave a different dynamic on the topic and for the next video project, Im defifnitely going to do this.

Another thing I realized would be a good idea to include students warning the audience of the consequences. Also, it was great that the group only used seniors to speak about the matter because they are the oldest students on campus and they make the biggest influence on the younger students.

The Truth About Cyberbullying: Final Video and Reflection

There were a lot of things I was proud of about my group's video, but the one thing I liked the most was probably the first scene with the speed up section. I though it was really creative and I didnt't see any other videos where something like this was used. The fact that people pointed out that the volume in the "1 in 5" scene wasn't loud enough really helped us make sure we didn't overlook fixing it for the final draft. For the final video, we got rid of the short scene with Juan, we rearranged the titles for Mr. C and Mr. Schallhorn and made the words bigger and a brighter color, we added a title shot in the beginning, and we fixed the credits. If there was more time, we would have gone through the Schallhorn interview and shortened it just a little bit more to hit the very specifics. If we had the opportunity to redo the project, I honestly wouldn't have changed anything because I am proud of the end product. I realized that it takes a long time to plan and edit videos and it's hard to tell if your video is turning out the way you originally planned until all the pieces are put together. I think it's important that not only my group's video, but all the groups' videos are shown to students to give them just that much more information on cyberbullying. Who knows, maybe because the videos were made by students and feature students, people will listen the the messages a little more intently.
