Looking at my work, it is fun to go and record footage for videos. Looking at my learning, I learned about all the types of shots there are. Looking at my achievements, I do better at recording footage for my videos. Looking ahead, I could try to make another 1 minute video.

The infotainment project took a little work but it wasn't too hard. The project was a little annoying to do but it actually made me use my creativity. I preferred to work on the Documentary because you don't need to do anything special. The documentary took me less time. I had some struggles with my Narrative because I kept coming up with new ideas and didn't know which one to do. One goal I have moving forward is actually deciding on an idea as soon as I can.

I don't think it was the best in the world, but it definitely had some value. I want to do a longer film next time so I can make something with more of a story and make something that makes me want to do more. I think I did great even though the narrative part of the project was rushed. I hope I do even better next time.

I really liked this projected! I even got my own head twistted when trying to figure out some stuff. Looking at my work, I think I did a pretty good job as far as making sure I got my point across. I wish my music was better, but with time it will get better and smoother. I really do enjoy video editing and looking more in depth with film. I definently wanna make it some part of my future job or I can even help my dad with his business of making websites. I wish I found out about this class earlier before it was senior year, but I am glad I get to at least say I did it!

Looking at my work, it is fun filming different type of shots and putting them all together afterwards. I had a hard time coming up with ideas for my narrative video but it came along after all. The worst part for creating my infotainment project was having to make 2 videos in one. Editing took a lot of time and it was kind of stressful.

Looking at my work it was fun to be able to work with my siblings to create something. Looking at my learning I know that I should start the editing phase in my project a lot earlier. Looking ahead I want to try different editing on a different platform. Looking at my achievements I am proud of the initial idea i had for my project and the creativity I used.

looking at my work, I really enjoyed playing with patches throughout filming. I learned how hard it is to work with other people (actors). Lauren was very easy to work with but patches was a-lot harder. Im proud of my first video very much because I was able to show a-lot of different clips. I wish I could have made the videos longer so I could have more in detail endings. I wonder if we will continue to do videos like these later in the year. I plan to keep making fun videos that I enjoy creating.

I really liked this video because when I make videos on video games I feel like I can act better and it flowed a lot better because I would actually see this happening if I am playing with my closest friends. It was much better quality footage than my origin story as I could screen record and editing it felt a lot easier because I used to edit video game footage and stuff but not with that many different types of shots so that part was a little hard to squeeze in but I managed.

I had a mostly fun time working on my video, though I know I could have done better. I wish we could have had a longer time limit. I had a lot of video ideas that I couldn't do because I wouldn't be able to fit it in the one-minute time frame. I wish I had given myself more time to work on my video because I feel that my narrative was rushed. Next time, I know to start my video as early as possible, so as to have more time to finish.

Looking at my achievements I am proud to be able to recognize different types of shots in videos. Looking at my work I liked my music and sound effects best in my video. The worst part of my infotainment was the narrative middle/editing because it could have looked more realistic and better. On my next project I would like to try to improve my stock footage and use more.

I liked what i did with my production with the fake paper keyboard and how i layer the sounds effects on top of it. When editing I learned how to get more creative with things as time goes on. I don't think I'm going to do this as a career but I would maybe do a lot of side projects with the editing. What i can improve on is actually having the project planned so I don't just put random stuff that looks good in the project.

I felt that my infotainment project went okay. I liked my documentary part more than I liked my narrative part even though I had rushed the whole video. I can realize now that I'm not interested in hands-on filming with speaking and acting, since the origin story was better for me. Looking ahead, I hope I can further improve my video projects.

I had a lot of fun and enjoyed making my video, but I still feel like I could've done better. Editing the audio was difficult this time since I had many different sound effects, music, and voices in the clips I recorded, so some parts may sound a little weird. I also should have thought a bit more on the shot types and movement. I learned that a script can really help your direction on making av video, its very important. I liked how I was able to incorporate humor into the videos with editing, sounds, and acting.

I liked recording the video and exploring the new ways to set up a camera to get an angle. I'm proud that the food I was making on screen was super good even though it took me a long time to make it while recording everything. I was surprised that when I cut down the clips to be one minute long, everything still fit and had meaning. The hardest part for me was just being able to do the really fast tasks with the dough while trying to set up a new camera angle to record that.

At first it was a bit stressful because I had no idea where to start. I got the first idea for a murder scene for my narrative when I saw a one minute film about mystery. I wanted my narrative to be darker and more serious but I couldn't. for my documentary I wanted two of my friends to be silently walking to class but one of them left for a day so I lost the whole video idea. I didn't make any back up plans so I just went with it. morale of the story is have a back up plan :/

I preferred working on the narrative a lot more because it allowed me to express my creativity more and it was also just more fun. I struggled with making the documentary high effort since I put so much of that effort into the narrative. I also had plenty of moments where I realized I can do more than what I had on the script. For example, I had trouble finding music that fit the narrative so I just made my own and it sounded a lot better than what would've been pretty boring music. In my next project, I'll make sure to save more time at the end to watch the video a few times and see if there's any mistakes I can fix.

At first it was hard to edit everything because I wanted it to look good, but after trying and trying it became really fun to me .I didn't know how easy it really was to edit. Adding the music and title was really fun, and seeing the whole video done made me proud even if it was a short video .For my next project I would like to be a bit more patient with myself.

I preferred working on the narrative because it was fun testing out different ways of editing and I liked using my creative side to create a story. One struggle I had was figuring out the initial storyline for my narrative and figuring out what exactly what to film. The time limit was also another struggle because I filmed a lot more for my documentary part of my video but a lot of it didn't make the final cut, which I realized is a big part of editing. Through this whole process, I really figured out that I like this whole film process more than I thought. A goal that I have for later is to become more confident in the body of work I've created and maybe have more courage to show other people. Overall, this was a fun project and it made me realize that this might be something I want to do in my future.

I really liked working on the infotainment project! I felt like the pre-production helped a lot and it was easy. For me the narrative was the best part. I did it with a friend so it was fun to do. I used stock footage for my whole documentary project! It was cool to use a different way to film and get it done. It made me better at using WeVideo. A goal for a future assignment is to just get it done as soon as possible and to not wait till the last minute to film.

I prefer the documentary film instead of the narrative. It was just easier o do the documentary because you can think of more stuff to do. It was fun to do it because I did it about my life and to show what I do during my day. I didn't really have struggles just of like what all do video tape about.

Looking back on my work I'm very happy about how it turned out. The easy part was definitely not pre production, pre production was mildly hard because it was all about intertwining things together in a new way. The fun part was production because it was nice getting to tell my friends what to do and getting to operate the camera and use the specific camera angles you wanted. I moderately also enjoyed getting to edit and put the video together to make it really my own. Out of the two types of storytelling I much more enjoyed narrative becaus4e of the freedom I was given with it. the biggest struggle that accrued was when shooting outside trying to use the sun and shadows together with ought making the film to bright and trying to keep the angle steady. The ah-ha moment for me was switching camera position too use pillars as the shadows to block out some of the light. The beigest take away for me from the process would be to be careful about lighting and your background. My goal for moving forward would to have a nicely light and shot film while telling a great story.

Overall I really liked making the infotainment video. Out of the two types of film (documentary and narrative) I liked filming the narrative the most because it was more hands on and was fun to make. We were able to work with the camera and do some acting (we had a lot of bloopers). some struggles that I had while making the video was probably the editing and staying on schedule. Editing was difficult because it was a bit time consuming since I had to cut and trim a lot of the footage and pick out the right ones. Staying on schedule was another struggle because it wasn't very easy making a video a short amount of time with my idea of the video. In the end I was able to wrap it up in time and found ways to enhance the video like sound effects and music. A goal I have is that the next time I am making a video I will have to plan it thoroughly and spend time of editing so I can get great results from the video.

At first it seemed a tad bit difficult but then I started thinking outside the box and thought of ideas I wouldn't normally think about. All of the editing seemed pretty easy though. I prefer to work on the documentary because I find it easier and ideas are easier to spark up. The only thing that did seem difficult was coming up with ideas but after I thought of one other ideas started popping in after that. I really enjoy vide production and I find it really fun to make videos and edit them. A goal of mine is too come up with cooler ideas and make longer videos and make it require lots of editing and I want it to be interesting to the audience.

My experience of creating the informant video was good I got to get out of class and talk with friends. The reason we did a infotainment video was to tell students not to do something you don't want to do it or to not do something that they dont trust.

The experience of making a video was exciting but I will admit a bit stressful. With pre-production we had to make scripts, think about camera placements, and even lighting. During production it was fun to create a video and editing it. I will have to say I liked the Narrative part better. I did struggle with time limits. I learned new ways of making an entertaining video and wish to improve on them more. A goal I have for future projects is to make them with better quality and story telling.

I definitely preferred the narrative film, it was a lot of fun to film and edit. Shooting took a lot longer compared to the documentary but editing was also a lot faster. One thing that I've found is its harder to work a little at a time (especially when you're filming), and a lot easier to spend lots of hours at one time only focusing on the video, which is very difficult because sometimes I don't have hours at a time to focus on it. I think next time my main goal is to get it done before the deadline so I have time to review it. One way I plan on doing that is instead of editing the whole thing at one time right before its due, I work on it over a few days. Overall I enjoyed making it and am pleased with the result.

Out of the two type of story telling I preferred working on the narrative story because I was able to be more creative with it and because it was fictional I didn't have to be as serious with it. I didn't have many struggles while working on this project but something that I struggled with at first was coming up with an idea that would be interesting and fun. Ah-ha moments started happening while I was filming for my narrative story and the story started to click as wasn't all over the place. My big take away with this project was that I shouldn't think to much and that I should just film because the story will start coming together. My goal for the next project is to be more creative and work on my filming.

I'd say I would much prefer doing documentary film instead because I just feel like I get it more. I struggled a lot like actually filming it. I did get distracted a lot while doing the work. I feel like the best part of everything is editing the video because I get to be a little more creative with it. I also struggled Turing the assignments in. My goal moving forward is to turn in the work and the video on time and focus more on it instead of putting in on the side till the end.

My Infotainment project wasn't easy but it wasn't hard. I preferred to work on a documentary because I just like the idea of recording things happening in real life. I had the idea and plan for my video but a friend I needed was absent the day I needed him for the video so I had to improvise. A goal i have to improve my process is to have a backup plan.

I could not think of any idea's for my infotainment and once I did it was very annoying to get it to work. I had to reshoot the info part of the film because I kept messing up. Once I finished it I had to film my narrative twice but it wasn't a big hassle. Next time I make an infotainment I am going to try to figure out something more simple to do.

I enjoyed doing narrative videos more. I enjoyed these more because it gave me a chance to use my imagination. With these videos I got to be more creative. One struggle I had was getting different types of shots. Some of the shots didn't fit with the video idea so I had to change the script. A goal I have to improve the final product of my video is to brainstorm more so I am better prepared.

My thoughts on filming the Infotainment video project, is it was a fun process. It wasn't hard coming up with an idea, and the process in which I followed to complete this assignment was a simple process. I'd admit I was a little stressed out about it because I did come upon some problems but were easily resolved.

when i was working on pre-production it was somewhat easy but at the same time it still made me think about what I wanted to do with my two videos and what I wanted my video to be like. when it came to production the documentary was mostly because all I had to do was film my hands making something and just edit the parts in between. making the video. but when I came to the narrative it was hard and I still even though I had an idea still didn't know what I wanted to do.

During the infotainment project I had a lot of fun and found it as a great way to understand more about how entertainment is made and not just through a camera but rather all of the elements in it and i realized that I'm very good at making a story using just pictures and making them move a little.

Overall I really liked making the infotainment video. Out of the two types of film (documentary and narrative) I liked filming the narrative the most because it was more hands on and was fun to make. We were able to work with the camera and do some acting (we had a lot of bloopers). some struggles that I had while making the video was probably the editing and staying on schedule. Editing was difficult because it was a bit time consuming since I had to cut and trim a lot of the footage and pick out the right ones. Staying on schedule was another struggle because it wasn't very easy making a video a short amount of time with my idea of the video. In the end I was able to wrap it up in time and found ways to enhance the video like sound effects and music. A goal I have is that the next time I am making a video I will have to plan it thoroughly and spend time of editing so I can get great results from the video.

It's hard to say which one I would prefer they both have really good pros but if I had to choose I would definitely go with Narrative. Narrative is just much more fun to create, and film and its due to the fact that you can be creative about it. I think I just like creating stories right off the bat. The documentary is easier to film, but not as fun to edit. I guess it just does not suit my style of filming and editing. Also the pre productions on the narrative was much more fun to work on when compared to the documentary. That's why I did my narrative film first because I enjoy the process of thinking, building and editing the film more than the documentary style. One thing I want to improve would most likely be to start a little bit earlier. I always start my filming late and then rush it after words and I'm hoping to improve that later on.

The thing I wish I did for my Infotainment Video, was that I wish I was more prepared for this project. I didn't have enough space to do my work, and it wasn't in the best quality. I also wished that I made enough time to do my work, because I could tell I rushed though the second half (narrative story), and that it wasn't as good as it was when I first planned it out. However, I did like how I was able to think of an idea that fit what I was good at, and how I was able to transform that in a video where people can see that I liked baking and my cats of course.

I think that over all on my Infotainment Project, I did a well job on it. I wanted to go with baking for the first one, because I overall have enjoyed baking in my life, so showing some of what I do was really nice, and I like how I did with my edits and other things. The other one, I wanted to make it kinda scary, but I also wanted to show off some of the skills I have learned while drawing, so I decided to do that, and I feel like I could have done a little better, but im glad that I got the chance to show how ive learned. I liked working on the Documentary more than the Narrative because I had a sort of idea on what to do with it, but the Narrative I wanted to find out what I could do in order to get a good grade, and I struggled trying to find an idea, so I just took the first thing that came to mind and I used that as my idea. The struggle I had with the Documentary was trying to make the video short, it was twice as long as it should have been, and I wish I could have made it smaller, but if I did, I wouldnt have been able to get every detail in it! With the Narrative, I struggled with mostly everything, not having an idea was not good, and I needed something as soon as possible, so once I had my idea, I got to work right away, but I struggled with the drawings and the other things like effects, text, and overall sound effects. I know I could have done better with the Narrative, but im proud of what I got done. What I want to do in order to become more better at editing and doing things is to pay attention, and mess around with the editing process more so then I can finally learn how to do the things that I struggled with, and to pay more attention in class, so then I can finally learn what I could do to improve what ive done!

During this project it was fun learning all the angles and different shots but it was really hard for me to do this because i would always get distracted and I wasn't focused sometimes. But during pre production I liked documentary the most because I learned that with documentary it was easier for me to think about stuff to film than working with narratives.

I didn't make my video yet and i probably can't now because its past the deadline, but all i was gonna do for my project was I was gonna curl my hair with a curling iron. So it probably would've went the same way it always does. I start by brushing my hair, turning on the iron, and the curling it. Pretty boring but I imagine that how it would've went. I preferred working on documentary films because it was fun going outside and filming with my friends. Also what made do documentary films fun was when we finally would get the shot right or come up with an idea of what to do next in the film we would get excited about it and when it came to filming our idea it was cool watching it.

My experience creating my infotainment video project was a fun and interesting process. My pre-production started off kind of rough because it's not very easy to come up with a film idea that I have to record and direct myself. After struggling to think of an idea for a video I asked a friend to film one together, making everything much more easier. Eventually we came to the conclusion that we would make the video about a volley ball that makes the person that is in possession of it do bad things like hit other people. While filming we ran into some issues, when we were recording a scene someone threw our volleyball on the roof of a building. But we over came this obstacle by figuring out what scenes don't need a ball and recording those. My goal moving on into the next part of the class is probably trying to be more open minded and to try and view things from multiple points of views.

At first I was really confused on what to do and how to get started, but when I asked for help it made a lot more sense. I started with an idea for my narrative and then ended up changing it half way through. After I got my pre- production done I got straight to filming. We had lots of different ideas we could film with different shots. We took about three days to film and sometimes we even had to restart or change ideas. We finally finished all the filming and then it was time for me to edit, which was pretty quick since it was only a one minute video. I liked filming the narrative better because I got to do it with my friends and we got to go outside. I think we could improve on timing because we took awhile to film. I also think we could improve on creativity and figuring out what we wanna do. There was a lot of ideas that we had that we changed instead of just sticking to one thing.

When I was in the process of coming up with an idea for my infotainment, I was having a hard time coming up with a good creative way to make a good documentary and narrative story. All of my ideas just didn't fit. So I decided to do something I knew I was comfortable with. When I was making my videos, I had a hard time actually recording because whenever I was free I was either so tired I couldn't do anything other than sleep it off, or it was already dark and It wouldn't be a good idea to record. As the days when on I had asked my coach if I could record practice and that it was very important, but some parents didn't want their child being filmed, and I knew it would be unproductive if I just had the small sum of us practice and not the others. I also wanted to respect their privacy, so I couldn't film. I had asked my sister but she had her college work to do and work. I had thought of just making it out of stock but that didn't feel right either. I was excited to film the narrative portion because I thought it would've been fun to act out. A big takeaway I have is that, not everything is going to go they way I want/need it to so I need to be able to work around that and get through it. A goal I have for the future is to set days to film and be on top of it, so I know if I can record a certain day or not.

Making the Infotainment video project was actually pretty fun. I wasn't doing the best while I was filming, but looking back on it, it makes me happy to see all of the time I spent with the woman I love. Gathering the footage was pretty easy, but I wish I could've interviewed more people the question, "What is love to you?". Expressing a theme with a motif was fun, going through a bunch of memories together was fun. Even playing Fortnite was fun. The editing was easy, I got that done in a day each. It was more of me not having much motivation to work. Looking back on my work, I'm proud and I'm glad that I was able to create this memory with my partner!

Reflecting on my experience creating my infotainment video project from pre-production, to production, to wrapping up in a post was kind of chaotic but also really fun. It was chaotic because trying to find something to make my video project about was kind of hard especially trying to find an idea that would be fun to film. Doing this video project was also fun because I was filming something from my point of view and from what I knew and learned. The type of storytelling I prefer to work on is documentary storytelling. I prefer documentary storytelling because I feel like coming up with ideas that revolve around reality are much easier than coming up with a fake story that you have to think extremely deep about. While filming for my video project we had to deal with the wind blowing things around, background noises, and other people in our shots. The good parts of filming for my video project was the fact that I had a partner help with the camera and she also allowed me to use her phone as a second camera. Some goals I have moving forward to improve my process or final product next time are to get more creative with my thinking, include more props, and take more shots when filming.

During pre-production I try to figure out what I want to do, witch usually takes a while. But when I figure it out I get strait to work and make the film. I prefer narrative films because you get to make up a fun story. Documentaries are cool too an easy to shoot. Post production is nice because I get to review my work and add epic music. then once it's all done I get to watch my film and usually I'm pretty proud of what I created.

The pre-production was more difficult than the actual video. I think that over all this was an easy project though. The video was decently easy to make as well.

I think narrative was better, as it was more fun and took more creativity to make. There is a lot more editing in these kind of stories because of different camera angles, effects, and transitions. Different Camera angles is probably the hardest thing for me when making a video. A goal moving forward is being a little faster, but still not rushing anything.

Preproduction was a battle on its own. The hardest part I've had with this process was brainstorming and building ideas for the narrative, which I've come to realize is the easiest and hardest part. Narrative portions of our video projects allow for flexibility in what we create, since it allows us to create our own worlds. However, with that flexibility we become over whelmed with ideas and thoughts, and this is where I struggled. But, once you find a small idea, it allows you the freedom of building upon it easily which is what made this part enjoyable for me. When it came to making the video, the hardest challenge was pacing and finding time to actually record the video, which I struggled with in my last one too. When you have large ideas, it's difficult to set up those ideas, and I know for sure next time I will need to work on a stricter schedule for myself.

The process was first of coming up with the idea. I was brainstorming and I was really stuck. I couldn't figure out what I should do and what I should film about. After a while I finally had something and I finished the brainstorm. My plan was to film a documentary of me making pancakes, then a narrative film where the pancake comes to life. I never actually got to filming and I never got to finish it. I could've used my time much better and I have been really busy this past 2 weeks.

I definitely preferred the documentary because it was easier because you didn't really need to be creative, it was just a very simple thing. The narrative required you to be very creative with your work, and make a entire story line, with a plot, and a climax. Next time I will also be more wise of my time, because I procrastinated the assignment for a while.

When we first started with the pre-production, I had this big idea, and I planned it out and everything. I planned exactly what was going to happen, but when I got to production, things took a turn. Nothing was going how I had planned it and it was difficult to work with my original idea. Halfway through trying to work with it, I just decided to ask Mr.Hanks if I could change it to something I could easily do. Filming was easy, and so was coming up with both the narrative and documentary stories. The only hard part was how I should set up the camera, and condensing all the footage to only be two minutes long. Overall though, it was very fun and I look forward to making more of them.

The pre- production was very easy, I had no problem coming up with an idea for my infotainment project. I struggled the most on the narrative because I couldn't find the right stock footage or music that I wanted to use. The documentary took the longest because I had lots of editing I needed to do. I preferred making the documentary more. Overall, I don't think it was my best work, but I am happy with the way it turned out. In the future, I would spend more time looking for stock footage that worked with my narrative.

My experience creating my infotainment project was fun and relaxing because we got to choose what we wanted to do it about. I liked using a narrative film more than a documentary because I wouldn't have to use my own footage, I got it of of the stock image. One struggle was squeezing it in to one minute and finding the right time to put things at. One ah-ha moment was when I was finished and I felt like I was ready to turn it in. A goal I have moving forward is to keep trying my hardest and try to get the best grade I can on everything.

Out of the two, documentary and narrative, I enjoyed the narrative. This is because this really brought out the creativity in me but sad thing about that was I had to do it in 1 minute which was the really the only struggle. As for everything else, the cutting, the voice overs were all fun. My goal later on is to learn how to manage time on, more or less, a time limited video.

But I found the way to make it look like the the first person pov was walking by moving it up and down as I walked. So that was a ah- AH moment I guess. Another struggle was a script, but at the end I got rid of it. The only " script" I had was for the Doc but I didn't really say anything so yeah. A goal I have is to make a series out of my fictional film.

I enjoyed having to take videos because it gave me something to do even if it was only for a few seconds. Sometimes it was hard to remember to record. A goal I have moving forward is to not be gone for the entire project.

I did not have any trouble with the documentary part of the infotainment video, but I did have a little trouble with the narrative part of the video because I didn't know what to do at first, but then I got an idea and rolled with it. When I was recording my video I forgot to record it correctly so I had to edit it more to make it look good. I had to edit some parts at home too because I did not have enough time in class to finish it. When I was recording my narrative part I had to switch up the idea a bit because some things did not go as planned, but it ended up being okay. Personally I like narrative more because you can be more creative with narrative but documentary was the easiest for me. The big take away for me was the recording bit, next time I am going to record differently so it looks better. Another take away was to record it all in one time because I forgot to record some parts of my ideas. My goal for my next project is to just record differently so it doesn't require that much editing work.

During the pre-production I already had an narrative idea in mind but it took a while to bring it to life. So I started with my documentary first and it was easy to shoot. Then after I reviewed my work while editing and then added some music and that was the end of it. I'm pretty proud if my work.

Reflecting on my experience creating my infotainment video project from pre-production, to production, to wrapping up in a post was fast and fun. It was fast because finding something to come up with for the video project was kind of hard because we had to come up wit ideas that would be fun do record and something that would be entertaining. Also, this project was fun because we got to edit all the videos and finding out new stuff that we can do in WeVideo. I prefer working on the Documentary because it kind of felt like were filming a movie about something we came up with.

looking back at my pre- production it was kind of hard to get started because I procrastinated for a little bit. Instead of just getting it done but once I started it wasn't that hard. Production wasn't anything crazy it just was hard to get started. i prefer documentary rn because its very hard to get stages, props, and actors.

When writing the pre-production, I only was able to write down the different scenes that I wanted to implement into my narrative and documentary videos. I still struggle with coming up with text/a script before recording the videos so I finished both videos first and went back later to add my script. I really enjoyed doing the documentary video because I liked being able to record realistic scenes and since I did a video about myself having a day off, I felt I could put anything and it didn't have to be in the structure of a narrative story. I also enjoyed working from different angles and making all the different transitions in the clips. My goal is to learn of more transition techniques so I can make my clips flow together even better.

Starting with pre-production, I think it was the easiest part of the whole project since I had a really good idea of what I could do. I preferred working on the documentary film part because it was more straight up and wasn't as difficult as the narrative part. One of my biggest struggles was not being able to upload my clips very quickly which took lots of time from me. Next time, I would like to get better prepared so I could make the end result even better than last time.

The pre-production was a little difficult I would say since I was trying to come up with a topic that would go with both my narrative and documentary but I feel like once I knew what I what I was gonna do, the filming would be fun. I think both narrative and documentary are cool to since they're both to different types of storytelling but for me I would prefer to work on narrative since its more of real events. I think some struggles for me is always the editing because it has to match up and be smooth. My goal is to get better at making films because I know we just started but if there's room for improvement then I would like to learn it.

I knew starting off I had again struggled with an idea, after about two days I decided how to use a door, I used it in kind of a humorous way, still an infotainment just add some funnies into it. then add narration I was done. with my narrative I came up with a horror-like thing, where all the character's doors are being knocked on. I was really hoping to get in some shots where the camera moved or changed focus, so I had asked a friend to help, then they had to delay, so I pushed it back, only for them to get sick and not make it. that day I also forgot to get a tripod so more shots I couldn't do. and on the last minute I got it done. I think it turned out decent, not the best but good for what I could do.

I am not done yet, but I just need to get 1 or 2 more parts for the thing I am building then I can finish it, so next time I am going to plan out a material list and a plan for how I am going to do everything so something like this doesn't happen again

When I was doing the infotainment video I honestly disliked every moment of it, its not that is was hard I just didn't like it whatsoever. My favorite kind of video to do are documentary's because I find it much easier to do certain things with a documentary that you can't do with a narrative story. Something that I struggled with was getting the footage, other than that the editing and making the video look good and well put together is the easy part. A goal is to be more excited about this class and enjoy making videos. Something I need to improve on is getting more and better footage.

It was more interesting working on narrative because I was able to put my own story together and the outcome was like I wanted. My goal would be to make it more professional next time, to add more to the costumes, lighting and all the other necessary elements needed for filmmaking.

I liked making more narrative storytelling because you were able to be creative with it and make anything up that comes up to mind. The struggle that I had for the narrative was giving instructions on what to do on my storytelling because of how young they are. The best part about narrative was probably making memories with family members and siblings because we got to work something together. Ill say my goal to move foward to improve my process is doing everything when its assigned so I don't have to rush my recording and not do a excellent job than an ok job.

I enjoyed the process of making the infotainment project, as it opened up more possibilities to ideas and brainstorming the construction of the video. It was a little difficult at first, trying to film and gather footage, but overall, it became easier once I was able to sort everything out. I feel pre-production was a little more difficult than my main production due to needing the right space to film my narrative. Main production was easier as I already filmed my theme ahead of time. The editing process and music searching was relatively easy due to no longer needing to film and instead, just compiling all of my footage together and making it look good.

I honestly preferred working on the documentary, It was much easier to record and put together, while the narrative film was much more time consuming and grueling. One thing I struggled with was them drawings in the narrative film, I didn't know what to do and what to go for, so when thinking of what I should do, I remembered that the teacher said that you could use images. The big take away from the project is that, don't think you can animate something in under a week if you're a busy person. I believe my goal is to actually have time to animate the whole thing next time, some images looked a bit choppy put together so I'd need to plan out things too.

Pre-production was fairly fun, I had an easy time figuring out what I wanted to make and creating the script (Although I did have to edit it a bit) Producing the video was very fun to because I did all of it by myself. The editing wasn't my best but I found my ability sufficient. I preferred to work on the narrative because I played two characters. It was fun to change outfits and run around each scene. I also had fun trying to get each angle, which was challenging. I struggled with getting the shots during the documentary because I had changed the script last minute. The biggest takeaway I had was to be able to change things when the original plan doesn't work. My goal for the next project is to edit better and have a more descriptive script.

Pre-production wasn't as hard as last time compared to the Origin Story. I immediately had an idea once the assignment started. All I had to do was to convey what was in my head into text. During the production process, recording the documentary wasn't hard at all. It did take some time because my recording setup wasn't the best, but it turned out pretty good in the end. The narrative, on the other hand was more challenging. For context, in my narrative story I had to throw a paper boomerang around. Taking those paper boomerang was NOT easy. I kept failing at throwing the boomerang and it ended up taking too much time until I got something I could use. I think making the narrative was more fun, but also extremely frustrating at times, as more errors can be made during recording. The editing was also a little challenging, cutting each story into 1 minute was a steep requirement considering how many shots I had. There ended up being many cuts and speeding up shots. I think I could've done a bit better in time management, since I did record late, but this time around, I was satisfied with the final product.

The pre-production of my Infotainment video was a bit difficult because I wasn't sure what topic I should use and I wasn't sure if I had what I needed at my house. I think during production was much more easier than pre-production because it gave me more flexibility to change certain things. I definitely prefer to work on documentary story telling because it's hard to think of an interesting narrative story than a documentative story. During production, I learned that I should make sure that I have the things I need before moving onto production. My goal for my next project is to get better at editing and learn different types of editing tricks.

It was very fun to film because I had a sort of personality for each character and making those personalities was fun and enjoyable.

During pre production i had a hard time thinking of something that I know very well, and can make a how to video on it, and also a dramatic narrative. but once i found it which was bench pressing, the ideas just started coming to me. I enjoyed working on the documentary video aka "how to" video more than the narrative video because it was much easier since i didn't have to get creative which i sometimes have a hard time doing. Going forward with film my goal is to focus more on pre production and do less procrastinating.

I'm not very good at all at going voice overs so for most of my takes felt dead. Editing the video wasn't hard at all though as it was just some simple cuts with background music.

As of writing this, i have not finished editing my narrative part, though i have the footage i need. im not sure which part was my favorite. I think narrative story telling is fun because it allows you to be more creative, but documentary is simple and relatively straightforward. i think for this project, i prefered documentary.I think for future projects, i definetly need to set aside time to film, because i think that is a main reason it took me so long

My experience creating the infotainment project was easy from what I completed so far. I have the whole video done so far except for one part where i need a Rubik's Cube that I landed to a friend but it seems I will not be getting it back in time so I will likely have to use stock footage to complete it. In the future I will probably film all of the content I need in one sitting to avoid complications like this. Pre production was the easiest part for me because I knew instantly what I wanted to produce. I preferred the documentary to the narrative because it was more straightforward and took less time. The post production was simple as well because I knew exactly what to do.

A few of the challenges I faced were not knowing what to do and how to even start, and I also didn't know how to write a script, but talking to my friends and family and taking their advice helped a lot.

During pre-production I think I had a hard time with what to do for it. There were many thing I wanted to do but couldn't because we could only pick one. Picking what I wanted to do with documentary was easy since I didn't have to think of a fiction story, it had to be all real life. Narrative was the hardest for me since, I'm not the best at coming up with stuff in a snap. I did come up with a narrative though after I filmed my documentary. I still haven't finished my infotainment project yet, I'm in the editing process still. I only just recorded my narrative last night, the reason why I took so long is because of schoolwork.

My infotainment project before was a easy starting project it was easy to plan because I knew what I wanted to do and what order I wanted it to go through. During it I was very stressed because not only did I have to film it I was also cooking dinner for my family and I filmed it on my phone and my phone was only on 3% so it kept on dying and it was just hard. Editing was hard trying to get the clips to my computer from my phone and it still looking right. Out of narrative and documentary I much rather do documentary because its just showing and doing everything I need to were narrative you have to plan out a story and make sure the story connects to it. Some of the struggles is having another person because they weren't understanding the vision I had. I also struggles with cameras placement and making sure it was centered. Edit it all at once and on my phone. I would definitely get a better trypod and plan it out more.

Working on my infotainment project was pretty fun. For my first idea I wanted to make both my narrative and documentary videos outside. But throughout the week I realized I get home from school only when its darker outside, so I had a change of plans. Instead of filming a tutorial on how to serve a volleyball I made a tutorial on how to make soft ice. This wasn't a hard task but it was a long task. It was pretty simple for me to edit because I used this app called CapCut on my phone that I used in the past when I was into editing videos. I turned in my infotainment project about 6 days late because I was a bit lazy to record and edit after a long day at school and practice. But I got it done and the documentary film was defiantly more easy to film because it was just a tutorial and was easy to come up with. Unlike the narrative took me some time to come up with. Overall this was a fun project and i wouldn't mind doing it again.

Pre-Production was not that hard but thinking about the amount of information I have to put within a minute was the hardest part for the documentary. For the Narrative is kind of a problem of the shots and getting help from friends and family for my props. I liked working on the documentary because it was all in one place not in different locations but I would like to get better angles so the sun is not disturbing the shot. I had to rethink the Documentary a lot and had to cut out a small peace of Information. my new goal for upcoming projects are to think about the camera placement more and the setting for the video.

During pre-production making the video was fun, and finding different shots I could put in my video. I could've did better though. I enjoyed the narrative video more than the documentary. My goal is to work on my editing skills for this class so I can do better in other videos I have to do.

I had a fun time making the video it was kinda stressful cause I never really had time to work on it cause I've been really busy with football. i did a documentary video it was like a "how to" video but it was me showing how to drive a car and things you need to know when driving. I didnt really have any struggles making the video but really jus how busy i was i finished it but iyt was very late.

My Infotainment project was pretty good but their are a few things that I wish I did better like making sure my frames all matched where they were all horizontal and not one was vertical. Creating this project was cool because I got to show my creative side and show something I like to make. The editing part was pretty easy I just had to add transitions and chop un needed parts and speed up the video to make it shorter. I liked the Documentary because I got to show people to cook my favorite ramen meal. But there were some struggles like getting the different angles such as finding a way to do the high angle. but a goal I have in the future is too try harder on keeping my camera angles consistent so my video is just a wide shot or a vertical shot.

my infotainment video went very well and I really enjoyed making it and I felt like a did a really good job because I made sure to be extra creative in the making process of it. I preferred to work on the narrative part because there you can be more creative and expand your ideas. The documentary part was a little bit of a struggle for me but in the end it worked out well.

I knew I wanted to do something around feeling the need to cover up your insecurities. I've always loved playing around with makeup because I feel like its an outlet to be creative, but I also wanted to add a deeper meaning of belonging into my film. Because its close to Halloween I wanted to make it slightly creepy so I decided to make my film about a member of a cult disguising themselves with makeup in order to "Fit in". My girlfriend helped me in the first part of my film, letting me do her makeup and filming the process and then for the second part it was up to me. The filming part was relatively simple, but when I had to transport all my footage into my drive, I struggled a bit. Once I had it all organized I just needed to add special effects which was rather simple for me because I feel as if I have a creative mind and know what I need to do in order to create an impact.

Looking back at the work it was fun doing. Planning the different shots that I wanted was easy. Finding time to go and shoot was the worst part, you would have plans change last minute. Forgetting to get some shots while recording but when I was done and came home I would remember to get some shots. Need to do a check list of shots before leaving the area of filming. The documentary part was really easy to do and fun, it was the easiest one to do.

The whole project for the infotainment was pretty fun. I do think that my ideas were planned well and I liked both of the ideas I had come up with. The documentary video was a small idea that worked well when I recorded it, and the narrative video was easy to make and very cool in the end. Next time I do a big project I think I want to put better effort in to the recording and the editing as both are ok but they could be better.

I was thinking about how to make my infotainment better, when I decided that using slow-Mo was a good choice. However, I didn't realize that slow motion would make the clips so long. With a time limit of 1 minute, it was hard to fit all the clips in so that they flowed seamlessly. I had to take out some unnecessary parts so that the video could be less than or equal to 1 minute. Though, at the cost of that, it made the video harder to understand. I also realized that making small cuts and edits are hard to do in wevideo without spending lots of time perfecting it. In my second video, the narrative, it was very disorganized because I just threw all the clips in and didn't make a storyboard, so present me didn't know what past me was thinking for the video. I had to dig through all the clips and try to remember what I thought of the other day. So all in all, I would try to recommend to prepare a story board of how your video will be directed and try to be organized, and try to estimate how long each clip is and try to make it the same amount of time you had guessed it to be.

The infotainment video so far is alright, I'm extremely behind on the deadline being over a week past the due date. But so far the video has been great, I just keep pushing back the final bits of editing I need for this video. For the next video project I need to work on not procrastinating as much, as I have had the first have of the video done since the beginning but I just have yet to finish it even though I'm so close. My next video project will definitely be better edited and submitted on the due date, instead of past it by over a week.

My infotainment project was hard for me in pre production. I did not know what i wanted to do so brainstorming was pretty stressful. Once i got my idea it was smooth sailing and i loved the assignment. I prefer to film documentary films, I like them better because they are more straight forward and I can brainstorm what i want to document easier. For document films i tend to think about big parts of my day to day and life. I tend to base my narrative films off things that have happened to me and then i add on. I would like to be more creative in the future and get more comfortable with expanding my films.

I liked making the infotainment project because I got to be creative. i enjoyed making the narrative video more out of the two because it was more enjoyable and it was really fun to film. I loved adding different shots in the video. One of the biggest things I took away from this project is that you need more than one person involved. In the future, I want to add more visual and sound effects.

My infotainment went pretty well. It took me forever to get through my pre-production! Between planning shots and finding stalk music, I barley finished it before I started filming. Filming itself went pretty smoothly, I filmed my documentary and narrative on two different day, which I think worked out pretty well. In post there was a lot of tricky, time consuming editing, but I was happy with the final result. Of the two I enjoyed making the narrative more. It was fun to come up with a story that could move all over and that I had the freedom to do whatever with. Making the documentary just felt really stuck to me. I really struggled with getting good lighting for my documentary, as well as camera angles. I remember my mom came upstairs and she was like" do you want to use my ring light?" and it literally fixed all of my problems. Next time I will have an even more precise plan, that is reasonable in my timeframe.

Creating my infotainment project was more complicated than I thought. The plot and post production was easy to make but when it came to filming the shots some things didn't click or look how I wanted it to. I preferred working on documentary because its realistic and doesn't have the spin narrative has making it easier to film. One struggle was showing time passing and a goal I have moving forward is making my plot more descriptive.

The easier part of the infotainment was the documentary because its a lo easier to document how you do something than coming up with a story about the thing that you do. The pre production was a lot easier than the origin story I got ideas quick but I did change the narrative part a bit to make it easier on myself. A struggle I had was explaining what and how I wanted something to get filmed it.

Creating my infotainment video was somewhat difficult but was fun. I liked creating the documentary part of the project better because it was easier for me to build a script and stick to it throughout the process. For both portions I found it difficult to create five different angles and shots. I think I had more trouble creating different shots for the documentary because my project was about just making eggs so it was hard for me to think of different shots other than just closeups. I found it way harder to pick shots for the narrative part of the project because finding the right angles and places to put the camera was difficult and I had to change the script a couple of times because shots didn't look and turn out how I wanted them too. I think I definitely need to improve on my creativity because the narrative part requires more creativity in creating a story and that's where I struggled. I also struggled with editing and putting in text and music. Overall, I think my project was alright but in the future my goal is to be better at editing and be more creative.

During the making of my infotainment video I over come multiply challenges. The hardest challenge I faced was thinking of an theme or a plat for my infotainment video and that's one of the things a struggle in this class. It took a couple of day to think of something but I finally got it. I didn't really thing if it would be good for an video but I went with is anyway. I really enjoy the type of scenes I created in the video and I couldn't have made the video without my brother who also helped me get an idea. The Documentary part of the video I never disliked because I couldn't think of something that would work good with my narrative part of the video and that made me enjoy narrative much more over documentary type videos.

The whole experience working on the infotainment was actually really easy. Starting with the pre-production, I just thought "I'll make a video on making ramen" I mean I do love ramen and i had some extra lying around, and since Mr. Hanks did a video on making food, I thought I could too. In all honesty I did not need a script of any kind, I just kind of eyeballed everything. Like when i was recording the process of making the ramen itself. I had ideas of shots, but not in any order specifically. Like up-close shots of the stove turning on and top down views of the ingredients. As for the skit I did, I obviously had a preconception of what it was going to look like in my mind, but definitely no script. Since there was no voiceover, I did not think I needed on. My friend and I just sort of rolled with what we had, and played off each other, Improv. I gave her an idea of what to do, but the rest of it was just improvisation. After I had the footage, I put it all into Capcut, my preferred form of editing. I put all the clips onto the timeline and edited down all the extra footage I thought wasn't needed. I made sure that it was very close to the 1 minute limit since that's kind of the whole point of the assignment. The skit was essentially 1 min long, so there was no tinkering needed with that. After editing everything down I ended up about 10-15 seconds short. With the help of of an intro and outro I got pretty close to the 2 min requirement. Once I had it basically done, I was told by a friend that my video needed 5 different types of shots in both sections and this was like 2 days before the due date. I started to panic a little since my friend couldn't re-record the footage with me and for a while I believed I needed to re-do the entire segment, but after asking Mr. Hanks, all was fine. I think that for next time I need to make sure everything is good from the beginning and not stress so much about things like this. As for which part I preferred working on, it would probably be the documentary portion of my video, Considering it was the only part I actually edited. It took me like all of 1 hour or less to figure out everything for my video, editing wise. That's including breaks, so this assignment was not particularly hard.

I liked this project! I thought doing the two "projects" in one was really interesting and I liked the concept. The planning was more difficult than the actual filming, since we had to make a detailed plan. I feel like I didn't stick to the timing or script portion of mine.

Once it was told that I would have to create a documentary, and more likely a how to video, I knew that there were some great struggles with drawing hands. It would make sense to make a tutorial for such a task, and it was easy to explain the troubles of drawing, since everyone struggles at some point to draw a hand. I was able to come up with my script, visuals, and auditory, in one class period. My main obstacle was finding a time to film. I wasn't able to do some until much later into the week, which already put me behind for creating a logical timeframe for post. I attempted to start editing the footage the day that I had filmed it on my phone. Sadly, zero of the video would upload to my computer, so I had to attempt mobile edit of the Infotainment. There were too many struggles going through it on my phone accept being open to slowing down my editing process, since a mobile device can only handle so much time lapsed footage. Next time I film, I won't be using my phone so I can skip over the torture of mobile video editing.

I had lots of fun making the infotainment video. I knew that I wasn't going to be here the week we were doing this project so I had to improvise. I decide to do a video on what I ate at Disneyland and my narrative was going to be about someone eating a plate of food under a certain amount of time. Making both of them was fairly easy because for my documentary I just need some pictures of the food I ate. So for the narrative I just took a video of me eating and some clips of me talking. I liked the documentary the most because I really like eating and trying the new food. I realized of easy it was to just talk over the picture of the food. I want to take more time in the quality of the pictures.

When I started my Infotainment project, I had a lot of fun thinking about what I was going to do for it. I had planned out what was going to happen for both the narrative and documentary parts of the project and then procrastinated actually filming them. I had drawn a title card for it and had music picked out, yet I kept thinking that I could just wait to film it later because I was "practically done with everything" which didn't work out for me. I did the same thing with the origin story video which I really regret because I wrote a script that I was pretty proud of which I never ended up using. I've begun to realize that I need to start prioritizing my work rather than doing whatever I think is fun in the moment, and it sucks that it took me not doing two big projects to realize that.

When I was creating the process for my Infotainment it was a pretty hard but fun experience even though it was rushed in the end I still had fun learning more about wevideo and using a camera with a tripod. I prefer to work on narrative because I have mostly a creative mindset and like to creations that are unbelievably to the human eyes so when I do narrative it feels more comforting then doing Documentary videos but don't get wrong I still think Documentary it pretty fun to do just not as much as Narrative. My two BIGGEST struggles was trying to direct the camera to where people can see my art work for my documentary and be able to see it. Second one was trying to put this all into a 1 minute video cause is till had a lot of more idea but I did get to put all of them in which is sad but I always save them for out next big project we will have. My goal is to try and put more effort into the next project video then this one cause the other one was rushed and I hate that.

I preferred to work on the Narrative because it was a lot more open to creativity and was more fun to film which as Documentary was a little more boring. I had issues with the drone at least with the movement of the drone. The drone its self was great. Next time I would definitely put more effort into planning because with the type of video that we did it was harder with little to no plan.

My experience so far has been great. I love working with with my buds and having to take the same shot again and again till its perfect. I loved creating a story board and coming up with new ideas for the perfect shot. My favorite recording so far have been the "Long short story", Jump cut, and my Origin story because I fun while doing it and I had time to mess up and try again. My least favorite recording was the Infotainment Video Project because it was rushed and I didn't have time to do ant retakes as well as stressed about creating it because I didn't have a good idea for it. My main goal moving forward is to pass this class with a A+ as well as being picked for the movie trailer at the end of the year to make a movie next year.

It was pretty cool and fun. I like both, Documentary and Narrative but I think I would have to chose Documentary cause its cool to make story's of what has happened to you in real life and possibly make it into a short film. I did struggle a lot because I had some missing films so it's a little hard to go back and film, edit, all while doing the work you need to do right now but its possible. I would also get stuck on editing cause sometimes it is a little hard but then you get the hand of it and become a edit pro. The project I really enjoyed has to be the jump-cut shot it was fun to film and to edit was more fun. The goal I have for myself is to get better at editing and to do more projects so I can get better and it can be easier for me.

Looking back on it, My infotainment project was very interesting and creative. I had a lot of fun doing the pre-production and trying to come up with the silliest ideas, It was a bit hard trying to find what I was good at though, During the actual production and recording I had my brother assist me. I may have gotten hit with a tripod one or two times but all in all it was fun to bond with my brother and also do work. I enjoyed this project more than anything honestly. Making eggs was more fun than I expected lol. I preferred to work on the narrative more because it was fun to mess around with whatever I thought of to put in my video. Some struggles I had were trying to find out if I wanted background music or not and when to add it in. I decided to add suspenseful music for the narrative part and a different type of music (I don't know what it's called) to the documentary part. The biggest take-away I had from this project was that it is easier to do projects with someone who has a creative mind. A goal I had moving forward is to work on my time management skill and start working on production as early as I can.

I liked filming both videos, it was kind of hard because i had to record with my nephew and he would not cooperate so it was annoying but other than that it was cool and interesting. I think i liked filming the narrative more because you can make anything up, like anything that comes to mind so that is cool. A goal that i have for myself is to be more prepared next time as well as maybe not film with my nephew cuz he made it harder than it should've been in the first place.
