#favourite project

Snatch TV: Rupert Grint as Charlie Cavendish Scott. This is my favourite project of Rupert Grint because we got to see more of his amazing acting skills. And in season two we got to see Rupert play a leader at some times. Which is what I wanted to see. And he nailed it. That’s what we call a character development.

oh how i wish

So far my favorite project that I have done in high school was my grade eleven film project. Each student thought up an idea for a short film, and then we were arranged into groups to put our ideas together and actually create the film from there. We made the film from start to finish, pre-production to post. This project definitely helped to develop many twenty-first century skills for me: Digital literacy: During the filming process we used a few different cameras for different purposes. I learned how to use and operate these different video cameras. After all of the filming was finished, each of the group members had to edit the film in their own way. By doing this I learned how to cut and edit a film from beginning to end credits on an Apple computer. Teamwork and communication: A great deal of teamwork was needed to successfully complete this project. Making a film generally only works out if the people working on it are able to communicate and act as a team. Collaboration: The writing of the script for the films was all about collaboration. Everybody had their own script until we came together and meshed our ideas to create one script and storyline that included bits of each person’s idea. Problem Solving: There are many, many roadblocks on the way to creating a film. From the very beginning when ideas are being changed and suggestions are being made people disagree and problems must be solved. Once the script is written there is the equipment. Maybe this is the wrong thing to say in this course, but I have come to learn that one can never rely on technology. Whether it’s that a memory card has been lost, a camera is broken or simply being used by another group there are always more and more problems to run into. I found that working on the film project was a very good method to develop problem solving skills.
