15A: Video Edits !

                Watching the drafts in class gave everyone a sense of what exactly they needed to fix and add to their video. It allowed each student to use other classmate’s videos as a reference to what not to do in their videos and what they should put in based on their classmate’s rough drafts.

                As I finished my video, in my eyes it seemed like the perfect video.. perfect skit, flawless! Great acting, some humor, you know.. the basic things that would’ve given me the Oscar Award for my inquiry class. I was wrong, extremely wrong. While it flowed well and captured the crowd with its witty instances of dry humor, it still wasn’t enough to potentially get me the perfect grade. My final product was a good video in my eyes. I took into consideration my peers comments and tried to make my new and improved video fit their exact comments. The rough draft and open comments section is such a helpful and useful tool simply because the people who are going to be viewing your final product are the ones giving you all the feedback in what exactly they want to see in the finished product. That’s basically like your teacher giving you a take home test and saying use any reference possible; or better yet, like taking a quiz and the teacher writes all of the answers on the board.

                After my peers gave their points of view, I made it a point to go back to my video and add some more informational slides. My rough draft lacked the proper information any of my fellow classmates would have needed to go on and eventually end up writing the perfect paper. If you can make the changes that the critics themselves are supplying to you then there is no way your video or whatever you’re working on shouldn’t be perfect.
