From the filmmaking exercise, my group and I chose to do the option about the differences between Lafayette, Lehigh, and Muhlenberg. When we embarked on producing a short video based on our option, my group and I had some struggles. First, we were having issues, such as our camera and lavalier battery dying (twice). Once my group was able to move past the camera issues, we were able to swiftly shoot our video. We were able to shoot our footage without problems because we had taken the time to brainstorm and layout a script. This was something that we did particularly well as a group. After shooting the video, we proceeded to edit–there weren’t that many of us that knew how to use the editing softwares. During the editing process, we debriefed, provided our two cents, and chose the shots that best represented our vision for the video. One takeaway from the filmmaking exercise I learned from when my groups final video was erased on the desktop computer because the computer had shut down. In the future, I am to make sure to (consistently) save my work in a personal flash or hard drive.
