8P-7 Mystery Skit

For this project, I used a camera and my friends to film. We created a mystery video - the genre of movie we were making was a mystery. We did this project because we thought it would be fun and we all wanted to make a funny video.

There were a lot of things I learned during this process. I learned how to use the new stand we got for filming (for some reason I just couldn't figure out how to adjust the focus/way the tripod was pointing without moving the whole thing). I also learned that it is sometimes very difficult to pay attention while filming.

The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Computational Thinker. This is because we thought of the script and had to solve problems on the nose.

There were a few challenges I overcame during this project. A challenge I overcame on this project was paying attention any staying on task. I was able to do it by remembering this is a school assignment and have to get it done.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the plot. The reason why I would change it is because it is very simple. Also, I think the ending isn't very good.
