I like making this video. We had a lot of ideas to incorporate into the film. Unfortunately, time was essence. We had less time to film since we keep taking too long to rehearse and film. Not that it was bad or anything, but we all had fun assessing the problem. We had a plot story, fighting choreography, car driving, and duct taping. I like the part where me and Linus were able to do the voice-over for the villain on the phone. We made each other's voice so deep. I would love to make another film. With better time management next time!

Commentary on the Gap

Loved the speech, not the video. It was too jarring and distracting. I had to turn away because it kept pulling my focus away from Glass's speech and I couldn't comprehend the message.

Science Comment

These videos were fun to watch. Knowing the satellite finally reached the asteroid after ten years of launched. There were a couple of bounces before actually settling on the asteroid. Hopefully, we will learn some breakthrough in discovering more about space. The music video was humorous. Featuring Neil, the astrophysicist, and many other famous scientists.

Weather Report Green Screen

The most challenging part of making the video was the green background to become clear.
The easiest part of making the video was exporting the video file.
What surprise me is that green isn't the only color you can use for your background.

Comment on Video Editing and My Video

Video Editing:

1. I learn to transfer images, videos, and audio into the project.
2. The most difficult is keeping the files where they need to be.
3. The easiest part is putting the files in order for the project.

My Video:

1. I will film by using a camera I will borrow for the weekend.
2. I will be filming at my house and a local park.
3. I will go solo, maybe include my sisters and my pet.

Animation Comment

These videos relate of going back to the drawing board in order to have the whole idea when developing a video. The creators of 6 foot under and Avater: The Last Airbender used story boards in order to have a layout of their episodes. These story boards are the brainstorm/draft of the entire video. A story board helps connect one idea to another.

Reflect Unit 1: End of web unit

1. The most challenging thing about the web unit was uploading the finished product of your own websites. I had to remember my username, password, and the host name in order to upload the files of your websites.
2. The easiest assignment of the web unit was downloading the template and editing the words. I thought that everyone can do this.
3. The most rewarding part of making a website is to save the file after a one long day of working the websites. It shows how much progress I have made compared to yesterday's work.
4. Since I knew some knowledge from previous web class, I was able to make websites outside of classes. I even used websites for my computer science class.
