Suggestions
-“We noticed that between the shot of him sayin OMG and him looking at the other students paper to cheat you usec a panning shot. we would have have used the same but made it a little bit longer than it was.”(Taylor and Jose)
-“…not quite sure what the music in the opening scene was used to emphasize. It was most likely used to show the fact that he had a test comig up but not sure. I feel that it didnt work becasue it doesnt really communicate that he had a test or the suspense of having a test. ou could also try more suspensfulk music.” (Taylor and Jose)
-“We think that you might add a shot right after kenny is looking around of him just guesing on the problems so he obviously got them wrong and then him getting the results back of him completely failing…”(Michelle and Blanca)
-“You can add to the resolution by showing the grade that the main character got. This would help give us the idea that he did bad on the test for not studying…” (Jacob and Morgan)
Compliments
-“We especially like the close up shot of Kenny because it helped emphasize the idea that he is looking around and trying to look for someone to copy off of. “(Michelle and Blanca)
-“The first music came in when the bell rang to show the beginning of class. It was used to help emphasize the mood that all students were in school or the idea that something like a test was about to take place. It worked perfectly because we got the idea that it was class time.” (Michelle and Blanca)
-“The first use of music is when they show the main characters face. It was used to emphasize the idea that he was nervous. It worked because it set the mood. The music was changed for some parts to give different feelings. It worked because it made me feel like i was nervous for the main character.” (Jacob and Morgan)
-“We especially liked the shot of Boy 2 and Boy 1 looking at each other and then Boy 1 hides his test so Boy 2 wont be able to see it.” (Eduardo E., Ashley T. and Sabrina)
-“The most important use of music was when the students were exiting the calss it gave a feel of pitty or sorrow for the studnet who received an F. It worked because the other student saud you will do better next time and the deep slow music coralted well with the fact that he failed but can do better.”(Taylor and Jose)
-“We especially like the shot of Kenny with his head down on his desk because it shows the feeling of being unprepared for something.” (Cesar and Isaiah)

Our Feedback
This suggestion is from Michelle and Blanca. This helped us understand the confusion, and it aided our clarification of an amendment to our video. We now realize that Kenny failing the test should have been more clear, and we can achieve this by going further in depth with the testing process. This will imply that Kenny was guessing on the test due to his lack of prior preparation.
This suggestion is from Jacob and Morgan. This helped us understand that we need to show the viewer the result of Kenny’s current knowledge due to his study habits and his ultimate performance on the test due to these poor habits. We can easily execute this information to the viewer by using a close-up shot of Kenny’s test which was an F, and possibly in relation to his neighbor’s A grades.

Our Feedback
This compliment is from Jacob and Morgan. Our intention was to mimic a human heart beat which would be a potential reaction of a student in Kenny’s situation. This compliment acted as evidence that viewers connected with our intent and could relate to Kenny’s emotion. Hopefully, this positive reaction will correspond with a more interesting video.
This compliment is from Taylor and Jose. This comment proved that our in points and out points were on point and that the music we used to emphasize the final mood of the video was executed properly and was more evidently present due to our choice in music.

Priorities 1st Draft Reflection
Kenzie Campbell and I (Ivy Phelps) are completing a reflection together
1) What value are you trying to represent?We are trying to represent the value of setting priorities that promote success and growth in students. We provided an example of a teenage boy choosing to play video games before or instead of studying for an exam.
2) What do you think your group has done well?We have been organized concerning our plan for each day and our specified tasks. We have been determined and dedicated to executing and producing the highest quality video we are capable of creating provided the allotment of time, equipment, and participation available to us. We have been consistent with creating alternative plans if our ideal or "Plan A" is compromised.
3) What do you still need to complete?We have altered our script to minimize difficulty concerning arrangements outside of school and maximizing our potential participation level. We plan to shoot the majority of our video at school instead of at home. Therefore, due to our change in shooting location, we will only need to complete a few tid-bits of dialogue and additional scenes instead of a full day of filming at home. We will then need to complete a few minor edits within our film before we are finished.
4) What are you most in need of feedback about? (We want to know if..., We're wondering if this camera angle worked when...etc.)We are aware we are lacking a few key scenes in our film, so the story does not make sense as is. We will give a swift introduction of what we plan for our final product and hopefully the audience will be able to envision what the film will be like when it is complete.
5) Identify a challenge your group discovered and faced in creating the film. Focus on a challenge about how to best tell your story. Describe how you dealt with that challenge, including discussions you had, things you tried and decided to leave out, and what you ultimately did to address it.Our major challenge was contacting each other to film outside of school. We could not communicate with each other, therefore, our shooting schedule suffered. We dealt with this by mending the script to fit a location that we could all attend. We devised a plan to keep our shots consistent so we could finish our filming, however, this was a major drawback and inconvenience for all parties, we apologize and we are exhausted with regret.
