Cyberbullying Video: Final

The parts of my video that I am most satisfied with would be the clip of my sister (the girl at home) on facebook, providing an example of what cyberbullying looks like. I like the expression of sadness that she shows, and as the clip end the music fades off softly, and I love the way that worked out. I felt it really gave a negative to feel to cyberbullying and showed that it really does hurt people. Comments that I found helpful were the comments about the audio. I hadn't really noticed a problem with it until my fellow classmates pointed it out. Also, Dr.A pointed out to us that there were many spelling errors that most of the class, and ourselves had not noticed. Thank you all, it helped us open our eyes to the whole video. Changes we made were audio chnages, we made the background song even through most of the video, so that you could hear the people in the interviews, and so that the song didn't sound so uneven. I felt this really chaged the video for the better. On the topic of audio, we also fixed the ending audio so that you could hear all four of us speaking instead of just Michaela. This was also a huge factor to the video because we have all four of us showing at once, and it wouldn't make sense to just have one person speaking. Also minor changes such as spelling and some text/title layouts were adjusted. Lastly we adjusted some of our lower-thrids, because we as well as the class realized that these did not fit well with the camera angles in our clips. Had we been given another day or two, I personally woould've liked to do some voice-over narrations in the video. While the titles do in fact look well with the video, it was just a factor I had thought of when we originally wrote the script. I believe the rest of the group would've liked this as well, but we did what we could with the time given. If we did the entire project over again, I don't really know that I would've changed anything. I really am satisfied with the video and I feel the whole group dedicated themselves to this project and we did the best to our abilities. I feel that we have shown that this group worked together and did what we all could to pull this off. I came to realize that you don't need so many effects in a video. In the begining of this project, I was so focused on making sure that each clip flowed into one another, that we had enough effects so that not even one scene would cut to another. I wanted them to blend. I realized that while these do look good, is it really all the good for the video? I realized that so many effects does capture the audience, but not to the message of the video. People would focus on how cool that one effect look, and not on the importance to cyberbullying. It would almost make our video useless. As for the video, I think i've said all that i've needed to say. I would just like to thank my group for sticking together and thank the help of my peers, the guests in our video, and  Dr.A to get this video accomplished the way we had wanted to.
