Towards the beginning of the week, I finished up my TIB video. The editing took longer than I thought it would, even though I spent a good deal of time over the weekend working on it. But, once I got the hang of WeVideo, editing was not very difficult. On Tuesday, I was not able to make it to class because my car had to be taken to the fix it shop because it was making a weird noise. And, Wednesday I had a college interview so I was not in class.
On Thursday, I really enjoyed watching other people's videos. In a way, it was nice to see people open up. Most of the time, people hold up a barrier and try to seem unbothered and perfect. Through this project, I got a glimpse of other people's problems and it added a human, three dimensional view to my fellow classmates. It was a good reminder that everyone is going though (and has gone through) their own struggle. Furthermore, by watching other people's videos I became more comfortable with my own. Looking back on my video, my only regret is that I did not use more actual videos while editing. Most of the visual aspect of my video is made up of moving pictures, but maybe I should have included more videos.
Overall, I am happy with how my video turned out and I am glad I did not change my idea. Furthermore, I learned a lot by watching other people's videos and was amazed to see how interesting and insightful my classmate's presentations were.
