Final Thoughts

Oh.  My. God.

Theres no way these 8 weeks have gone this fast. It's literally felt like 3 days since we started. 

This project was such an enjoyable and valuable experience, and I am so proud of both myself and my team. From the start, we organized and paced ourselves well; we also made sure that everyone contributed equally. Even though we faced challenges, we pushed through and worked together, creating an amazing film opening. The teamwork aspect was one of the best parts—we had fun while putting in the hard work. And I couldn't have chosen a better group to do this with.

One of the things I appreciated most was getting to apply and develop new skills. Not only did I improve my filming techniques, but I also learned better time management through organizing my blog posts and pacing myself with the project schedule. I ALWAYS procrastinate, so this really helped me stay on track. Additionally, working on my CCRs gave me a deeper appreciation for how films are put together, which will help me analyze movies better and improve my media text essays as well.

Beyond just the technical skills, this project taught me patience, teamwork, and participation in a way I didn’t expect. My group and I went through some wild experiences, from climbing trees for high-angle shots to jumpstarting my car that broke down while filming. Even though these moments weren’t part of the original plan, they added to the overall experience and made the project even more memorable.

Choosing a genre we all loved made this project even more exciting. It allowed us to create something meaningful and showcase what we knew. Looking back, I feel like I gained so much—not just from the final product but from the entire process of bringing it to life. This was truly an unforgettable experience, and I hope you enjoy what we created!
