I was the screenwriter.

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION

21st Century Skills

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

I showed creativity by thinking of the idea for the film.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

I communicated and collaborated by working with my teammates to change and improve the script on set.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

I showed media literacy by studying a scene from the Look-See and implementing the strong points of that scene into my own.

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

I can use some of the communication skills I learned from this session in future endeavors.

Reactions to the Final Version

Tim: “Each scene lends itself to eeriness, comedy, or both.”

Merja: “The minimal dialogue made the film creepy in a good way.”

Self-Evaluation of Final Version

Our film was simple because it has an easy premise to understand and a story that’s easy to follow. Our film is unexpected because it has odd, stand out scenes, such as the fingernail scene. Our story is emotional because it evokes laughter and an eerie feeling in the audience. Our has story because the Community Killer has the goal of killing the community, which drives all the events that take place in the film.

Grammar and Spelling

I used the Edublogs spell check.
