Lesson Learned

Week 6-7


The most interesting part of my project is learning how to work together to make something amazing because most of the time you can screw up on something it can be anything like having the mic sound be too high and the sound becomes static then you would pretty much have to do you interview again.So far my project is doing well and we have way more to do we are like barely half way there.For me something that would stand out would be the teamwork and how much cooperation we had since our project is due next week and the critique begins this week 9/18 we have been picking the paste up to be way faster.

The biggest road block my team handled was having to redo our interview on our interviewee. We came into this problem because our camera mic was not working and the sound was too high.Since our sound was too high the interview came out like static because of this we had to ask our interviewee if it was okay to come back and redo her interview.She was so cool and said yes, when we came back we made sure that the mic was working and the last time came out great.When you come to roadblocks with teams all you have to do is have good teamwork and you will pass that roadblock with ease.


The most valuable part of film making is knowing your camera. When you know your camera,film making gets much easier because you know what type of mode your supposed to be in and you know where to change the volume. Since we didn't know our camera that much our first round through doing interviews didn't do so well.The next time we did interviews we knew our camera way better so when we did the interviews the interviews turned out pretty good.Now I have learned that when you do not know the piece of technology you are using you could end up in big trouble because you didn't operate it correctly.Thanks to Hiki No  I  have learned a huge lesson have great teamwork and know how to use the things you are given to work with.

Back To School

My biggest moment would probably be getting into GT and Honors because the past few years I have been doing really easy stuff and I need more of a challenge.Getting into GT is a huge moment for me because it also gives you a challenge. Getting into GT was an awesome thing because the GT program give students a challenge. Since I got into Honors I have not been able to just cruise I have been able to actually get a little challenge.

Somethings that I will do to be successful is turning in my homework on time,coming to class before the bell rings and paying attention in class. Turning in my homework on time will help me be successful because if your homework comes in late your grade will come down and that will bring you down.Coming to class on time helps me to be very successful because walking in late means you probably just skipped something important.Last paying attention to me is probably the thing that would make you the most successful because if you don't pay attention in class you could miss your homework assignment or something your supposed to do.This was at the beginning of the year so wasn't really into what it was supposed to be.

Hiki No Behind The Scenes

Week 4-5

My project is on one of our KMS art teachers Mrs. Sandrel. My team and I  chose Mrs. Sanderl because she has been able to inspire many people with her art and she is a very good artist.The project is going well. I think it is going well because we have had good team work and cooperation. I think that when you have good cooperation and team work the work can get done with ease. Mrs. Sanderl was a good topic because she was very cool and when the interview sound was too high she said that it was fine to come back and redo her interview and interview some of her kids she also said that it was fine to come back and take b-roll.

When the camera is not rolling my team and I are writing the script or having conversations about what day we want the interviews to be and trying to edit our work. Since our rough cut of our project is due Wednesday September 17,2014 we are pushing the pedal to the medal to get this project in great condition for  television. When you only have about three people doing the work because one is absent it gets kind of hard because you have to do a lot of things in the in order to make this work. Since the camera is not rolling all the time there is other important thing to do other than video tape like edit or write the script or even just communicating with each other.

One thing I can do to help my team is communicating with them. I can help them by communicating with them because sometimes I have a hard time communicating  what feel. I also have a hard time to express what I know because I feel like what I say they wont like but now that I have been able to be apart of this project I  have learned to speak up.
