Response to the Reflection

This post is from Michaela and Eddie
The positive comments that were most meaningful to us were from Michaela and Cole. (Two different posts, not a pair saying one thing). And Brad and Chris told us that they really liked the cafeteria establishing shot, and that was helpful because it made us feel good about the choice of using the cafeteria and it made it look realistic. In addition John and Jocelyn  told us that We should add more music when Michaela enters to make it seem like she’s the nice girl., and that helped us see that We need more music in our video at key points.
The two best suggestions we got were from Brad and Chris and Blanca and Michelle (again, two suggestions from different posts, a pair saying one thing).

Brad and Chris suggested that we cut a little off the clip of the new kid looking sad. We agree with this suggestion, and our plan to address it is to look for a place to cut it shorter.

Blanca and Michelle suggested that we have some Dialogue between Eddie and Michaela. We agree with this suggestion, and our plan to address it is too we might discuss re filming some parts if necessary. .

Good Values



I think our video for this good values was ok. We used real life locations like the cafeteria and a class room in Dr.A's. We created really good clips like when Michaela first stepped to the cafeteria and sat with the cool people. And the shot of me in the back with Ivy and Michaela turning their shoulders and both look at me at the same time. I especialy liked the clip of me of a close up saying hi to Michaela. My job in this group was to search for the perfect sound and music to add to this video. I went to Jamendo.com and tried to find good music but it was kind of hard baecause we tried looking for a type that would be sad to try and go with the clips of me when im looking sad in the cafeteria. Then i tried to look for the music for the ending. Like when Michaela comes and sits next to me to look for some song happy. But we had trouble with the recording sound we got from the camera it was all static and just a buzzing sound. But over all it was a good video. I think I could have done better as an actor i just go really shy with the camera looking at me. And for next time to try the sound before we tape and cut.
