#11 Additional comments about the class and film making.

This class has helped me grow. Both as a student and a person. Student-wise I have learned to focus more on due dates. I have also became aware of what teachers expect, and they won't let you slide by with just barely doing what you are asked. It takes a lot of work to succeed, but anything is possible, and in the end, it is all worth it.
Person-wise This class has helped me grow. I have developed extroidanary skills of working with people. I have learned how to do that effectively. I have learned respect, and what it takes to earn it.

Describe creating and filming a music video, in detail. Did you enjoy making the music video more than the past videos? Did the rubric help you? explain. What is the easiest part of filming? What is the most difficult part of filming?explain. Who was your leader and how well did they do? Out of all your group members that you have had, who has been the best leader and why?

Well the first couple days of this week we brainstormed, then recorded our song, then took alot of photos to collage for the film. I enjoyed the Introduction video the most to be honest. Yes, It gave me guidelines to follow. We didn't really film, we took pictures. Well the most difficult part was, we had to take A LOT of pictures. I was the leader. I feel I did alright. I took ideas from everyone in the group and ran with it. I've been the group leader like every other week. So I have to be the BEST!

Did the writing assignment help you learn about the French and Indian war? Did the writing assignment help more than the films that you have produced or seen? Is there anything about the French and Indian war that you have a question about? The next subject we will be learning about will be the consequences of the French and Indian war and the problems that started the American Revolution. You will be making your last movie starting friday. Over the weekend you will have to get together or discuss with your group the lyrics. That is your homework assignment and will be worth points, of course! Would you rather be able to choose your genre of music or your topic?

Yes it did, greatly. No I believe the films help me learn better because I am a visual learner. I have a question, I really don't understand General Braddock's role in the war. Deffinetely Genre!!!!

I know that it is Thanksgiving break but you still have to blog! After reading the article tell me one interesting thing you found about it and why you find it interesting. There will be a writing assignment attached to the French and Indian war. It can either be a formal two page paper OR a blog entry 600 words or more. Which would you rather do? Each assignment will focus on a chosen character's (list will be given upon return) point of view of the war; using historical events. You will have time in the computer lab to work on both. Compare one aspect of your thanksgiving plans to those who would have lived during the 1700s. AND Have a wonderful break!

You kidding me right now?! It's okay I love to blog. I would rather do the 600 words.
I will eat food, and so did they.
you too greatest teacher ever.

Throughout all of the sections we have convered in Chapter 5, which did you find most interesting?and why? I found the Great Awakening the most interesting. Maybe it was the picture in the book that first drew my attention, but after we read about it I became very interested. Out of the movies that you saw (4 of them) whose do you think was the best? or did the best to enhance the lecture? I believe mine was the best, once again. Even though you said there was a time filler in the middle, it still got the message it was supposed to get acrossed. After taking the test on Chapter 5 sections, was there anything in the movies or while filming your movie that you rememberd which helped you answer test questions? Yes, the parts to Randy's video help me remember things on all the tests. There is only 1 more film left and it will be themed as a music video. How do you feel about that idea? I am scared to be honest.

How has filmmaking become easier? It has actually become harder, because of a new group this week. What problems are you still running into? Arguments has slowed our group down. Has the videos enhanced the lecture? Yes. Who was your leader and how did they take an active role in the group? Ashely, she convinced Justin to start doing stuff. We will only be doing one more film. Who would like to see as the leader? Me. /// and what would you like to try and do that you have not done yet with the films? I would like to make something epic. I'll keep it a surprise though.


What about the video with whoever we want in our group???

week 8

What is your opinion about the test on Ch.4S.4 and pages 126-128? What topic do you have for filming? If you could create a film based only on your idea and had group members who agreed to do your idea no matter what. What would your film plot be?

The test was a breeze. We have the topic that is on page 131-132 I think. We are basically doing my idea. My idea is very good, in my opinion.

*** I know my mind isn't into due dates. I got caught up with everything on Friday, I apologize.
