Eric.P's 2 Minutes to Make a Difference Final Reflection

Part 1: Changes you made to your video
One big change we made was that voice was added into our video. Also some of the text in the video was changed either to make it sound better or to fix some grammar. Some of the pictures were moved, changed, or deleted from the video. And, at the end of the video the credits were added.

Were the students comments helpful?
The comments were very helpful we used them to help edit the final copy of the video.

Part 2: If you did not find an expert tell us why you were unsuccessful
We could not find an expert because animal testing experts would not allow an interview with them. They said that they could not tell us was that the information was confidential. That meant we couldn't get the info.

Part 3: What was your greatest success in the 2 minutes project
My greatest success was that we got everything in time of the deadline. Because we were behind a bit halfway through the process.

What skills will you take away with you and use in the future?

Skills I will take with me are some new video editing skills and to be more aware of problems that happen in our lives that we do not usually think about.

part 4: What frustrated you during the movie making process?

One of us got distracted really fast every time we started to work on the project and after we got him to stop being distracted he got distracted again. He was kinda hard to work with but he eventually got work done.

What strategies did you use to become successful?

We told him to stop getting distracted. Then we took away the thing that got him distracted. We yelled at him a lot. We just got mad at him until he did something.

Part 5: Why is the 2 Minutes project important to Grade 8 Students?
Because we usually do not think about stuff like this and all we care about is ourselves and not about others. So it is important for us to think about others and not ourselves all the time.

Part 6: How will you make a difference in the future?

I will try to think about others more often and think more about other people instead.
