Thinking about Our Final Values Video.

Positive Comments
The music was perfect beacause it made it more like a mysterious effect. Sabrena, Ashley P, Eddie E.
We especially like medium shot that showed all of the students in trouble. .
It was used to emphasize the idea that they were all nervous. It worked because it set the mood
Jacob D and Morgan D
We liked the begining when the camera slowly showed all the students sitting on the table in the detention room.
We also liked the part when the teacher was talking and he had the low angle shot looking up as if we were in the students eyes.
We thought that your film was well put together
Michelle Hernandez and Blanca Ceja
Suggestions
We think you should have a shot of Krystian cheating. It will emphasize that krystian did cheat.
you should make an opening title Sabrena, Ashley P, Eddie E.
Start out in a classroom and have the teacher ask some to stay back.
You could also give more dialoge between the characters. Jacob D and Morgan D
They could have added a scene where they walk in to detention
we suggest to slow down the credits a lot Isaiah S and Cesar J
More dialoge between Krystian and Alex

Zoie having some more part in then just passing the note. Michelle Hernandez and Blanca Ceja

really rough draft





We were trying to represent Honesty in our video because the hero was being honest when he told the teacher about cheating on the test.
One thing we did well in our video were the the sounds and following the script. I felt that the actors did a good job trying to reperesnt what the character was feeling.
We need to comlete a few things actually. First we need to shoot the parts with the teacher in it. Then we have to redo a point of veiw shot becasue i accidentally hit the tripod so the camera shook alot.
The thing that we need the most feed back on is the sounds we put in and if we need to add any more music any where.
One challange we faced was trying to do the film right the first time around and being prepared. We weremt able to shoot for a while because i kept for getting to bring my dress clothes since im the teacher in our film. When we finally were to shoot for the first time we shot it in the cooking room so the sounds were echoing and the sound quality was bad. when my group and i were reveiwing it we realized how bad it was and that we absoulutly need to redo our film. Then it took us a while to find a place tooshoot at but we finally settled on the library but we would change the teaches dialouge to say that it was in detention or something. But we unable to get the shots with the teacher because yet again i dint have my stuff. When we realized on that we werent able to shoot next class we decided on just putting in still titles that would say the we were miss the shots with the teacher. Basically this is a really really rough draft of our video.
