Video Group Project

I really enjoyed working with the video camera project. I think that working with the video camera was really easy and uploaded well. The hard part was definitely editing it. It wasn't that it was too hard but it was most definitely tedious work, especially since we filmed out of order therefore we had to do alot of cutting out of the middle. I think that we did a great job on our video and worked together well. It was quite embarassing filming myself eating in the cafeteria but it turned out really well. I don't know if I would change anything about our final project, I was very pleased with the way it turned out. It was comical but got the intended point across. I think that video editing is something that could be used in the classroom setting. Although it is time consuming and I don't see myself being able to do one very often but I think it would be interesting to do one every so often to change something up.
