1) I feel that the greatest success in our video was not over-doing the whole obvious factor. We could've easily gone overboard when it came to not explaining each step, because everybody viewing it was already making a how-to video. I feel as though not explaining each step thoroughly would've detracted from our video's overall effect of our video.
2) If we could reshoot our video I probably would've had myself slow down my speaking more. From time to time, it got a little difficult to understand what I was saying. And in the library scene, I had to be quiet (obviously), and it was hard to hear what I was saying.
3) My favorite video out of the four of them was How to Annoy Duffy. It combined a sense of seriousness with a sense of humor that was really appealing to me. Like with our video, they didn't "over-do" it. They could have done it way too sarcastically, which I wouldn't have enjoyed nearly as much.

1. I think that the greatest success in our video was just that we were able to get it together. I think that it is difficult because we had to capture 3 times just to get all of the video. We also had to make a completely separate clip of a video just to finish the last step.
2. If i could re shoot the video then i would only change the audio. we could have used a mic to make the talking clearer and easier to understand. Also, i feel like we could have gone more with the script so that we didnt have random mess ups.
3. My favorite video in the class was the tailgating one. This is my favorite because it was funny and the acting was very original. The video wasn't long enough or very well ordered but was humorous enough, in my opinion to cancel it out.
1) I feel our greatest strength in our video was our ability to edit and add effects. We were able to add music, close ups and use slow motion. The coolest "Special Effect" was our use of the green screen.
2) If we could reshoot our video I would try to explain things better and not be as sarcastic. I feel some of our "goofy" comments were not nessecary and stupid. I also feel if we explained things a little more our "goofy" behavior wouldn't have stuck out as much.
3) My favorite video by far was the "How to Annoy Duffy" video. I really thought they had great acting and pulled off comedy very well. I also think people who knew Duffy appreciated some of the comments they made.

1. The greatest success in our video was the steadiness of the camera. We used a tripod in most of our shots. Even though the content might not have been the most appealing, the shots were not bad.
2. If we could reshoot our video, we would definitely be more prepared. We were forced to shoot our video in about a half hour with very limited resources. If we could reshoot it, I would definitely want to fire up a grill and flip some burgers on camera. We had some good shots of the washer game but then our tape mysteriously got lost and the footage was gone. Also, the sound quality is lacking when we were down in the locker room doing the "gameplan". I would probably use a microphone if we were to do it over again.
3. My favorite video was How To Annoy Duffey. It was an original idea and they made it really funny. I liked how they used their group, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Allen and used a shot to look like it was actually in a class. Also, the acting was good.

1. The greatest success in our film was the editing. We had a very short time to edit our project and I think we did a good job on it. Another success is that we had was that we made the best with what we had. Our project did not turn out that well but we tried
2. If I could re shot our video I would do many thing different. We were not prepared for bad things that could have happened like loosing our film. We should have taken better care of our film and not have lost it.
3. The video that I think was the best was the How to annoy Duffey film. I thought they did a very good job planning the film and they knew what they were doing the entire time. It seemed to me like they did not make any mistakes and if they did, they were not major mistakes
1: i think the acting of mr. duffey and mark was the greatest. they spoke clearly and you really thought he was getting introuble. Also because they pronouced the words good and they stayed serious the whole time.
2: i would plan it out better and also have a better cameraman. i think if we planned it better it wouldnt be as stumbly and slow talking. if we had a different cameraman we would actually be able to move the camera instead of just moving the spot its in.
3: how to be a jerk was my favorite because it used good music and acting. also its my favorite because it was funny and you know that wouldnt actually happen. also because the song went with the video the whole time and they always stayed on topic.

In our video we showed every one how to tailgate. It came out better then I thought it would and the car scene was the best one. the other scenes were mostly informational and slower then the car scene. We did end up reshooting the video because somebody lost the tape,and we changed and got rid of a lot of things, like the washer games, or the football games. Out of all the other videos like how to be a jerk or how to make a how to video, I like how to be a jerk the best. It was funny and it did show people how to succsefully be a jerk.
Pat C,
1.The biggest success of our video was the fact that we actually got it done. We had so many outtakes that i thought we would never get it done. We did have a great team who was focused on the work but, well we got distracted.
2.If i could change one thing about our video it would be the fact that we had some of the clips missing. If you notice in our video some of the clips had some missing steps. It was just a matter of we should have watched our video more closely then just skimming through it.
3. My favorite video was how to annoy Duffy. This video was my favorite because i actually had Duffy's class freshman year and he acted exactly like that. It was very funny and had the true elements of how to annoy him.
1. Ithink in my video the greatest success was the acting.Ithink that because Mr. Duffy and I kept our cool, and finished the video with barely any laughing. That is why I think that is our greatest success in our video.
2. If I could reshoot my video I would not change anything.I think my group did this video very good. That is why I would not change anything in my video.
3. Out of the four videos done by the class my favorite was "How to be a Jerk". It was funny, and it made sense. I also like how they ended the video with them picking on someone else. That is why I liked "How to be a Jerk" the best.

1) In our video i believed the best thing was the talking by the actors. This is because they talked to the camera clearly and loudly. Also he had to think of things off the head because we had some things that happened that lead to that.
2) If we could redo our video i would plan ahead more because towards the end we were rushing. Also i would try to get more things to match the script. The last thing i would do is get different shots.
3) I liked how to be a jerk the best. This is because it was funny. Also because was easy to watch without getting bored.

1. In our video our greatest success was our beginning scene when Gavin gave a blueprint explanation of how to Tailgate. That was the greatest success b/c it was clear & precise. Also b/c the rest of the scenes were quickly made and not in order. The other scenes were funnier but not as educating.
2. If we could reshoot this video, I would of followed the script, completely. We had to reshoot it without any props. Explaining how to tailgate isn't easy without a grill, games, drinks, etc. I would put in title pages for every step as well.
3. The "How to Be a Jerk" video was pretty good. It had title pages for each step. It clearly explained what to do and how to be a jerk. It also showed a clear example/action of each step. Thier video was ideal and funny.
I tried to submit it but it wouldn't allow me to. I did complete one though.

It crashed but it was submitted.
1. I believe our video was an overall success. The video turned out close to how we expected. If I was to choose the greatest success of our video it would have been the involvement of everybody in our group. We made sure that everybody participated and was involved in some way, whether it be acting, camera work, or editing.
2. There are a few things that I would do differently if I had the oppurtunity to reshoot. First I would make sure that we took our time. I feel that we rushed through and the overall flow of the video wast fast. Second I would improve the camera work. There were certain shots that could have used better camera angles.
3. My favorite video in the class was how to annoy duffey. I feel they had a good script that worked effectively. The group knew when to use humor and also stay serious at the same time. Last the group was entertaining to watch.
