Here is the link to the final version of our documentary.

A Year in Reflection

The biggest struggle while doing this project was getting all of the group members on the same page initially. We had a very rough idea for what we wanted but I knew that many of those ideas would not come across well during the editing stage, since I was in charge of editing. Although it was a struggle, I do think the project as a whole turned out very nicely. The focus was clear and it was well organized and I was proud of my group for doing a good job. My least favorite part about the video was that it was not nearly as interesting as some of the other groups. It was difficult to make it exciting, especially since it was too difficult to get a "ride along" scene with a delivery driver due to their rules. My main role in the group was editor. Because I have done a few videos before, I knew going into it what we needed visually to make the video not look super awkward. Everyone else did a great job doing their part and it worked out fine. I wish I could have spoken up more at the beginning of the project and taken role as leader. I feel like I contributed a fair amount and the documentary as a whole went good.

If I would have seen all of the documentaries at the beginning of the semester, I would not have thought our groups would have been that well. I get distracted by the visual quality of the video and fail to focus on the content a lot of the time. I was able to realize when groups had trouble finding a focus in their documentary, when I wouldn't have been able to do that well at the beginning of the semester. I definitely enjoyed the layout of this class compared to my wrd class last semester. It was interesting and much more enjoyable reading things in different styles and watching videos occasionally. I feel like you did a much better job promoting conversation in class than my last semester teacher did which made the experience as a whole much better. I think the class as a whole was effective and more enjoyable. I definitely prefer this style to writing essays and reading novels. This class can be made better by possibly having one more formal speech to help students be more comfortable speaking in front of the class. I also enjoyed how you used time efficiently every day. When when you didn't have much more to say, you didn't feel the need to keep class going but just ended early. It made class easier to come to and not a drag. I cannot think of anything specific to change to improve this class.
