Our Work:
For our Physics of Sports video, we decided to do a penalty kick in soccer. We took a size 4 ball and kicked it from the penalty marker. We spent two weeks filming on the field and editing. For our script, we had a kicker set up the ball, take 5 steps back, do a run up, and then kick the ball.Â

Reflection:
I think we did a good job with cooperation and creativity, because we did a good job getting shots and and filming the video. But I think we could have done a bit better using our time effectively and productivity.
