Final Reflection on Project

 Looking back now, working through every part of this project pushed growth, especially in creative thinking and hands on abilities. Right at the start, figuring out how to open strong meant planning an introduction that grabs focus while shaping what comes next. We also used lighting to help convey the mood to the viewers, making certain scenes feel more serious and intense depending on how the light was positioned and how bright or dark the room was. As things moved forward, staying clear on the main idea mattered, connecting each piece so the flow felt natural. With the CCR videos, it made me look back on all we did throughout these eight weeks, it helps a lot in doing the final reflection.

We also improved in aspects such as filming, planning, and editing. We learned the need to plan for aspects such as the angles to take pictures and the need for clear sound in our videos, especially for the main project and CCRs. Then came the editing part, where we used Clipchamp to arrange our videos, cut out errors, and add pictures to help explain what was going on in our videos. This helped our project and CCRs look even better.

Looking back at everything, we were able to bring creativity and explanation into our work, making it a better overall product. The opening drew people in, the main project helped us develop our ideas, and the CCR videos helped explain our ideas in a more creative way. If we could do anything to make it better, we might use more camera angles to make it more interesting. Overall, this project has helped us see how everything fits into a media product, from start to finish while also having so much fun!
