P3T1 Girls Use Technology from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.
Now we are doing an awesome project, filming!! The keywords for my group's video are:
computers
first time
 |
| Alex "modeling" for the camera! |
bickering
teaching
cooperation
challenge
These keywords will connect with audience because they are all words that people would often use to describe something like their day. People may have even had a situation that they would have described with our keywords. Then our keywords would definitely connect with those people. These words are also connected to our video because our video is all of those words. That's why we picked them! Hopefully these words will connect with our audience just like our film will. Our film is all of these words. Its about the challenge of the first time with computers, where two girls bicker as their tutor tries to teach them. They finally cooperate at the end of this humorous film.
My message for my film is that it takes awhile to get used to using technology. Our characters definitely go through a change. Gillian (played by me!!) and Christiana (played by Christina) go through the change. At first they do not want to cooperate with their tutor Alex (played by, yep you guessed it, Alex), so they are not getting anything done and they are complaining about that. Alex gets fed up and tells them that they will not be getting anywhere if they do not listen and the girls finally realize that it's true. They decide to listen and a couple hours later they have figured out how to do some simple stuff. Then they go out for shave ice to celebrate. The two girls go through the change, because it is they that have to listen so they will understand.
The biggest challenge we faced was working together. Our team is made up of natural leaders, so no one really wanted to follow each other. We had a lot of trouble figuring it out. During the script writing stage, it was difficult to make a solid script, because people kept changing their lines. Finally, we decided to take a fair, diplomatic approach, a.k.a, we took turns doing everything. Filming, directing, acting, scripting and editing was all shared. This worked great! However, like everybody, we had our rough spots, especially during editing. In the end, though, we pulled through and was able to create our video!
