I admit, I was not going into this project with high hopes. It had nothing to do with my group; I just know I'm not exactly the most tech savvy person in the room, and I wasn't sure how we'd fit the entirety of the story in twenty shots, or how we'd get it done in just two and a half hours. So, I was honestly shocked at how well my group picked up the task. We all sat down in the library, and within seconds we were all discussing the ins and outs about the story, explaining how we interpreted certain scenes, and showing each other our storyboards.
It didn't take long before we had a concrete idea about how we were going to tackle this project, and we went to work quickly. Though I wasn't in the film as much as others, I did enjoy helping set everything up and the experience in general. Not that I dislike the class, because I enjoy the open discussions we all have and the general atmosphere of it all, but this was definitely a nice change of pace from the norm.
Just like the podcast, I felt dreaded this assignment at first, but the simplicity of both medias was actually quite comforting, and, on both occasions, I actually enjoyed myself. They were both a great change-up from the norm, and, were much better than having to simply write a paper. The thing I enjoy the most, though, is that they didn't feel forced. I understood what the projects were, and it didn't feel like it was done simply for show, and that's what I feel is most important about using multi module medias in the classroom.
