Reflection 10

4 April 2013

Today we decided to edit our pitch with the last recordings that we made. We used Jenny's iMovie to edit the clips together and start creating our commercial. We were able to upload each of the clips into the iMovie and started to insert in the text and the transitions but we had a problem with this. We couldn't fit the transitions in correctly because it overlapped with the video clips, so we decided to look at it after we finished the editing. Then we added some music to the last part and showed our improved commercial to Ms. Greer. We got her feedback including that- the flashback does not look like a flashback and in the part where I steal the pencil case Jenny and Nicole should see me. We then started to make these changes but we will continue them after class because we had no time to finish them.

As Morrie says in "Tuesdays by Morrie" by Mitch Albom, if I only had 10 minutes to feel sorry for myself I would feel sorry for all the discussion and disagreements that we had as an Ad Team. As we discussed even though we knew that the target was a good commercial, we could have skipped these discussions and haven more time to work or a different variety of ideas. I would feel sorry for discussing instead of having more patience.

As a group today we worked really well. We were always on task and willing to help in the commercial. We were all focused while we looked for facts and edited our commercial in different ways. We all contributed ideas for the writing  ideas about the music and how we could improve our commercial. We are definitely on track for having a great commercial and rationale (which we plan to start working on) to turn in. We have decided to turn in the commercial before the 15th of April to make sure that this assessment is included as part of the grades for the Interim Report.
