The Experiment

In the photo shop experiment we are supposed to make up something by our self without Mr. Sanderl 's help. it was sort of hard but I figured it out but then the last time I wanted to work on it I didn't know how to pull it up so I have to start all over again. We did this experiment because Mr. Sanderl wanted to see if we could figure it out our self. Most people like the seventh graders didn't have a hard time but sixth graders like me had a hard time figuring out how to use Photo Shop. Some thing that was good about it is that we learned that you don't need to have help from the teacher all the time you could ask your classmates to help and then we learn to be self directed learners. Some bad things about it were that some people don't know how to do things.

Lessons learned

The most interesting part of our project is going out into the community because this is the first time that I have been in the GT program and this school so I thought that it was a little complicating trying to get all the equipment in place to shoot but luckily my sister and part of my team was there to help each other along the way and work together and get the interviews done.

The biggest road block that we handled was having to re do the interview. Since the person we were interviewing was my dad he let me retake the interview at home. Also the two other people we were supposed to interview both went to Oahu for a business trip so my dad had to find two other people for us to interview. Both went smoothly but I don't think that our last interview went so well because we were running out of questions to ask and once or twice we said the same thing over again.

The most valuable part of film making had to be working together and finding out in like what your strengths and weaknesses are in the film making process because to me that's interesting because you need to know what you and your team can do so you can give everyone a job to do and you know that they can do an excellent job.
