21st Century Skills
Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)
I showed ways of thinking by helping to come up with the sounds in the film.
Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)
I showed ways of working by collaboration by collecting fingernails for the film.
Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)
I used the Videomaker website for tools for working on ADR.
Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)
Using complete ADR opened up more opportunities for me because of my new skillset.
Reactions to the Final Version
“I love the utilization of the sound effects and eerie music in the film” – Jack
“This is very cool what you put together. You should have confidence going into the next film…Keep going, great job” – James
“You did the eerie comedy part really really well…tighten up transitions…Keep doing more like this to find yourself improving.” – Tim
Self-Evaluation of Final Version
The film was simple because it was pretty easy to follow.
It was unexpected when the protagonist got saved by the hero.
It was emotional because the community is gone.
It had a story of the last remnants of the community coming together to defeat a common enemy.
Grammar and Spelling
I used edublogs spell check.
