Reflection 8

25 March 2013

Today we presented our pitch in class. We found out that we had to finalize only one project so after presenting our two different pitches to the class, with their feedback, we decided to stick to our commercial about stealing. We thought that this commercial was more effective and fit best the rubric and task sheet. Our stealing commercial also had the best comments and less mistakes. We were a little nervous while presenting, but we could get over it and it was comforting to have a script for exactly what we needed to say and explain. We also got feedback from our class and peers and noticed that we had to change various things like the camera stability and the sound so we decided to film our videos again. We kept the papers so that next class we could compare our new commercials to it, to know if we improved. We also plan to compare it to the commercial that we presented in our pitch to see the improvement and to prove that we have worked on our mistakes. I also watched the other pitches to see which ideas we could use. I also took notes of what we could change to have encountered for the next commercial.

Our pitches were completely ready but each of us did not know exactly what to say. I had written the whole script including our intended audience, our objective and why we did everything that we did but my group and I had no time to review what we each had to say. I think as a group this class and weekend we did not work as well as we could have prepared more for the pitch and separate the tasks equally. With Jenny in SAAC it made it really difficult to meet and stay in contact so we could not prepare for it as well. This week I put to work my leadership skills to make sure we did as much as possible. We are planning to work hard next week and meet before the due date so we will be able to finish a great project.

Extra day**
26 March 2013
Today we stayed 20 minutes after school to film our commercial. We had a problem as Nicole was absent so we could just film one part of the scenes in the commercial. Jenny filmed me in the stealing pencil case scene and I made sure I was shouting and the camera was stable so we could fix this problem. We took various shots to make sure that we could have a variety scenes to choose from. We will keep filming next class or stay after school.
