10A Video Project

I think I met the requirements of the video assignment. I met the time limit, I got it in on time, I interviewed the correct amount of people, I had a title that included my name, and a slide thanking those who I interviewed.

I had the most trouble with the technology. I decided to the the project on my iPad, so I downloaded an app that said I would be able to upload and edit a video that was 10 minutes or less. I spent two weeks creating it and editing it, only to find the day that the project was due that I would have to purchase it for 4 dollars. That day, I also had a commitment that I could not miss, so I had to do the project, with the help of my friends, two hours before it was due. If my friends had not helped, I would not have gotten it in by the deadline. This was not only very stressful, but hard to accomplish in two hours.

I tried to inform students how the study abroad process works by including interviews with Jazmin, who works in the study abroad office. She explained how students can come in, plan to have a meeting with one of the people who work in the office, and the paper that the students advisors have to sign saying they would recommend them to the study abroad program. I also interviewed my RA, Melody, who studied abroad last year in Australia. I had her explain what the experience was like, and how much she enjoyed it.

I would give myself an A- on this project. I think I covered my topic well, and I put in the effort to get a good grade. I would, however, go back and work on the transitions between the slides. I had them planned out perfectly in my original video, but the redone one that got posted was not what I had planned.
