Video Reflection

• What would you do differently if you could do it all over again? Are these changes based on feedback that you may have received from friends, peers, family members, etc?
If I could do this over, I would have spent some more time reviewing the footage after it had been shot. As I was editing it, there were times where I wish I had some better takes for what we had filmed.

• What is your reaction to the video recording/editing process? Please discuss any positive and negative reactions.
The whole process is very time consuming. I have worked with iMovie before and have made movies with my friends in college. I knew a little of what I was doing, but I still found myself going back redoing parts as I found better ways to do different things. Overall though, I do find it fun to work on these kinds of projects.

• Do you think it would be possible to have students in your current/future classroom create a movie? Do you (will you) have the resources, time, and skills necessary to include such a project in your classroom? Please explain.
I may not have them create a movie in the classroom, but I might give it as an option for a project if students wanted to take that route instead of doing a paper. I think it can be a really fun and creative way to express oneself and ideas.

• Did you learn anything new from the video editing/recording process? Please explain.
The last time I used iMovie, there were not nearly the number of editing features available, such as transitions and title slides. The layout has also changed a bit. So what I was able to learn was how to better use the newer version of the program and what it has to offer over the older one that I had used in the past.
