Baler Interviews: So You Want to be a Baler?

Product Reflection
This video was a lot of fun to work on with my partner, Alexis. Personally, I think we could have made the video a little more organized, since the topics the students talk about are a little haphazard and don't really follow a set "theme," but I kind of like that. To me, it shows how diverse everyone's opinions really are on what's so great about being a Baler. After watching a few other students' videos, I think we could have added a few more clips into ours, and made it a little more fun and spirited.. Since that's what being a Baler is all about, right? If I could do this project over, I would probably have tried to figure out how to get the text in the credits to scroll up, like how a real film's credits end. Also, after watching the video over, Alexis and I both realized that we forgot a key point in said credits.. Our name and block number. Hopefully, this isn't going to be too large of a problem, and we'll still get proper points on the assignment and whatnot. That is definitely something I would need to remember to do if I were to create this video all over again.

Process Reflection
On this project, I gained a better idea on what the word "teamwork" really means. Alexis and I had our fair share of problems working on this video, but each time something bad came up, we were able to figure it out by retracing our steps and correcting it before everything really went wrong. We asked only a few questions, and I'm sort of proud of Alexis for being able to figure out how to create a video with only a little bit of help from myself, as well as Dr. Achterman. My little Jedi is learning well. Also, while working with this video and creating the final project, I realised how stressed and frustrated I can get when I don't understand how a certain piece of technology works. Alexis kept me sane, though, and helped calm me down if something went wrong. I can't wait to start working on future video projects with her, and other people should the oppotunity arise.
