Finale

I think what worked about the film was how it's put together -  the editing and how it transitions. What was challenging was that we didn't know what B-roll to incorporate into the film. When we recorded Taliek's mom and went to his neighborhood, we came back to school to upload and include it into the film but, we found out that the sound wasn't working. So it's like we spent all that time going to his house to record his mom and neighborhood, for nothing.

I learned that filming can be more complicated than it looks. You have to make sure the sound works, that the people in your group actually attend the classes to be able to film, know when to film - like what time is best for everyone in the group, and where we will be filming.

My favorite part about working on this project was when we got good footage to put into the video, such as the B-roll and the interviews that we did. My least favorite part about working on this project was when we went to record Taliek's mom and his neighborhood, and then the sound didn't work. The interview with his mom would've been a good element in the video. It's now the end of the semester and we won't be able to re-record his mom. We still have to upload the finished video to our blog and we're proud of what we have accomplished.
