10A: Video Reflection

For our midterm project in INQ, instead of a test or a paper, we had to create a video on something we thought was interesting about Southern and wanted to tell people about it. My video was on Southern’s Resources, and how they are helpful to all of the students. I found a lot of information, because there are a lot of things at Southern that are useful to students. I didn't use every single resource that is available, and tried to pick the most important ones and ones that I thought were most beneficial. Most of the resources I used were helping students with their schoolwork/education. The time of my video, however, was a little short, it was a little over 3 minutes long, when the video was supposed to be 5-6 minutes long. I interviewed people, but I never recorded the interview, I just asked them questions and wrote the answers into my video. I got my video done on time, it did have a beginning, a middle, but sort of lacked a real ending, so that could have been something I needed to work on.

If I ever have to do a video project again, I will want to learn more about the movie maker program that I used so I would be able to make my project better. I think that was the hardest thing for me because I didn't exactly know how to work the program, so if I figured out how to work it better I would make the whole presentation more interesting. I also found more information on different resources afterwards, so maybe next time I would do more research as well and give everything I can find! For a grade, I would probably give myself a B- because I had a lot of good information, some pictures, but I could have definitely added more to it to make it more fun and capturing the audiences attention better!
