Reflection 6

18 March 2013

Today we only worked in our commercials because we finished the book last class. We started to film commercial #1, the one about littering in FDR. We went to look for trash, however as it is Monday the school was clean and we were only able to find paper, but we used it anyway. We took many photos of paper balls on top of Jenny and also filmed how they kept incrementing every time. We then filmed us picking up all the trash and then we had to put the photos and videos in the computer. Nevertheless, we had a problem as we did not have the correct cable. So, we tried to send the photos by mail but as it was slow we did not have time to edit the video and do the voiceovers so we plan to do it after school using Skype or the Facebook group. We are each going to contribute to the editing until we can get close to the pitch. We are almost done with the filming but we may also film other days to have different kinds of trash. As soon as we edit we will be able to finalize our pitch for this commercial.
**We had and tried different camera angles and will try to use editing effects, when we edit we will be able to portray in a better way the theme and message**

I believe that we are working quite well as a group. We all collaborated in the filming of the commercial and all volunteered in appearing in it or at least create a voice-over. We all helped clean up an gave ideas to create the best commercial ever. While filming, we were all focused so we could get the task done in class time and when we didn't finish we were all happily willing to be able to work in this commercial outside of class time. As we could not meet we plan to do it online. I congratulate my group because we are all willing to do out job so we can get a great outcome.
