Never before this project i thought i would hear ms Willemse mutter ” you will all be working together”. I was in shock, was she joking it can’t be true that the whole class will be working together? Although it was true, we were put to the task of recreating Macbeth in WWII to show what is the true nature of evil. My first reaction was this isn’t  going to work. But as we continued going through it kinda changed i thought we might have a chance of this working. This slight glimpse of hope was optimistic and false. Depending on how you looked at it a failure and a success. It was a failure because the whole class kinda turned on each other and we didn’t really work as a team, and a success because i learned that management isn’t easy and working as a huge group isn’t easy.

Now that I’m done introducing the project I’m going to explain how it was made by a step by step list.

1- First we assigned roles for everyone

-this includes auditions for the actors

2-WE got the script writers to pitch their ideas to us as a class and we hose which nes we liked the best

3-then we made some props we needed to film the first few scenes

4-we filmed

5-we edited

…..This is what would have happened in a perfect world. What actually happened is after we made probs we all disagreed on the actual script, after we finally got that figured out we had to film. Filming was a big issue because some actors we needed never showed up. To say it was a shit show would be a understatement.

If i took away anything from this project it would be that the bigger the group the more problems you will have i think the optimal amount of people to have in a group project is 4-6. Another thing i would say this project helped me with is character. This video pushed my limits of my character. Overall i’m glad i took these two things away from this project but never the less i would never want to repeat anything like this.

A few weeks ago professional video makers came into are classroom and taught us skillz that pay the billz when it comes to video making. I was actually gone for this class I was sick. Anyways there was a friendly competition on a video and i think there is a prize on ” our Canada”. The video had to consist of what Canada was too us and it had to be 30 seconds or less. This is a blessing and a challenge to me. Its a blessing because im not very good at making super long videos that are interesting for the whole video. But it is also a challenge because it is hard to give your opinion in a video that is 30 seconds long. I am proud of this video because i put a lot of work into making it and i found it interesting making the video.

To make this i had to start off with a script. Usually making the script is the hardest part but not this time I knew it had to be short so i think that helped. But what i think helped the most is that Iwas passionate about Canada and what it is too me SCRIPT the rest was also decently easy I found visuals that I thought would be good and then put audio over it. I want Ms Willemse and Mr Hughes to look at it and i want to improve on this and MAKE IT EVEN BETTER!
