SO, this project was my biggest success and the most work. It took me, like, more than 20 hours to do and gather everything i needed, and then to create the video.

I think what worked the best was the integration of imovies and the technology. I wasn’t super literate with my mac book before this project but boy did I learn about it quick. I also think the posed questions both worked and didn’t at the same time.

What worked what how I asked the questions; it allowed me to edit a lot of things seamlessly and it had a really cool end effect with the quick cuts. But, it also made for a lot of the same answers from everyone, where, if i would have posed the question differently, i may have gotten more unique and individualized answers from everyone involved.

The thing that worked the least with this project was how dependent on my fellow classmates I was to really make it not only work but to also be cool. I only accounted for one class period to record everyone, but we ended up canceling class after only 15 minutes that day because of a communal exhaustion and overt excitement for thanksgiving break. This led to me having to seek people out at their internships, or depend on them to find me. Overall, that lack of control over my own project led to only a few of my classmates being featured.

I really am happy with how it turned out, though. I do wish I could have filmed more people, especially the 30e students, but it turned out pretty okay i think.
