This project was quite difficult to complete, but it’s done and it looks decent. The videos that were given to instruct us were a huge assistance. I just wish they were done in the same version that we were working with. It was pretty simple to follow them, though. I just think Dreamweaver is hard to navigate. It was a good experience to learn how to do that. The project could have been better executed by me. Next time I wouldn’t procrastinate to get in the files of videos I needed. It wasn’t a huge problem of adding them later, it was just the constant stress of having not moved them. What worried me most was that somebody might have deleted them since I switched classes. It was an immense relief when I did transfer the files, I just wish I’d done it earlier. Overall the project turned out decent. If I had more time it would most likely look much better. While the project was pretty interesting, it wasn’t too much fun. This might have been because I wasn’t able to just wri

Video Challenge 3 This was definitely the most fun to do. The people I worked with were pretty great. We tried to add a bit of comedy here and there with the phone being thrown and when the thief barely hid from the chaser but still escaped. It was more fun to record all that than it looked in the video. The first scene was definitely the most difficult. This was mostly because of the difficulty to find a good camera angle in a very crowded room. Not to mention we had to get the chaser to know that he wants  his phone back so he should run . Overall it was just funny to record. 

AB Sequence This video was very interesting to work on. We had to record all in one day and that was not too easy. The group I was with was very pleasant. We all contributed and tried to make sure everything was correct. I noticed while editing that some of the film flow involving the main actor's walking direction were not correctly filmed. It was too late at that point to record again so we stuck with it. The idea and filming was not based as much off of a storyboard as it was just trying to find a good location that wasn't full of people. It's always been a rule to make sure no other groups are in your recording. Since we all record in the same days it's very hard to do so. Overall I enjoyed this project and I wouldn't mind recording again. There's still Challenge 3 and our finals to think about filming. I'm pretty excited!
