After reading Simon vs. The Homosapiens Agenda we were assigned a cumulative project. I decided to make a trailer for the book where I showed Simon's story in a brief and creative way.
WHY I CHOSE TO INCLUDE THIS ASSIGNMENT IN MY PORTFOLIO
I decided to display this project in my portfolio because it was really fun to make and it is very creative. I thought the video was quite entertaining and I worked hard to reach this desired outcome. For this reasons I think it deserves to be shared.
THE 21ST CENTURY SKILL REPRESENTED IN THIS ASSIGNMENT
I would say I used self-directional and global awareness skills during this project. I needed to be very self directed when making a script, coming up with ideas, and filming each character. I also used global awareness as I become more informed about the LGBTQ+ community.
HOW THIS ASSIGNMENT DEMONSTRATES MY GROWTH
Before creating this assignment I had never used Imovie on my computer and had to learn about its more advanced features. I also had never duplicated myself within a single video so I have definitely obtained new skills from this project. I was also able to use the pixlr skills I obtained from Mr. Hazlet's class in this video.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT WITHIN THIS PROJECT
In some clips you can very bluntly notice the line that overlaps the two videos and in the future I would like to fix this problem. I would also like to grow my editing skills to continue to produce good quality videos.
