Final video, reflection on holiday video ( by Blanca & Zoie)





I feel that me and my partner did a good job in editing the clips and putting them toghter to make it flow. The stories we did were interesting and fun to talk about. The music in the background was very cheerful and we thought it fit both of the cultures that we talked about. I would like to have put a boarder around our video like kenzzys group.I needed more time for the ending statement to put zoeis video also.

5 things I learned from other videos



1. I Learned that there is many sources that can help you understand this topic about cyberbulling.
2.You can make a diffrence in someones life by helping them with stoping cyberbuling.
3. Cyberbulilng happens everywhere...
4.You can use this procedure: Stop, Block and Tell.
5.San benito high "no tolerance" of this behavior. - Mr Vela


This video was made in a organized was especially at the end when you have your steps "STOP,BLOCK,AND TELL. I feel that the shifting from Mr.Vella and the poeple texting was a effective strategie that helped the visual. The part when a guy walks out is a awesome idea, it helps us visualize the leaving from the darkness to the brightside of things.
The lower third that appears when Mr.Vela is talking is nice becsue it gives the person seeing the video a diffrent perspective of his name. At the begining when you see all the phones,the transtion inbetween helps us see the diffrent phones.





The title at the beginging is nice, it is a bolded red witch helps the person seeing it think its important.The diffrent pictures matching the iformation being said is good also , especially in the part when the phones appear and they are explaining the meaning of cyberbulilng. The transion of the pictures was not very smooth so it made it seem like a slow pacelike in the part when the girl has her head in on the tree. I liked how at the end they conclude by saying to get some help and you can actualy see them, this makes the video more realistic because not only can you see the people in pictures but in real life as well.


1. there is a statistic alreay presented that 1 in 6 students "will" be victums.
2.any social network can be used as a form of cyberbulling.
3.You have to watch what you post.
4.People that you dont know maybe able to see your facebook.
5.it causes people to lower their self asteem and its a lifertime scar.

Green screen workshop reflection






The green screen helps the people making the film put a diffrent backround while a person is talking about it. The important considerationa in filming with green screen background not to wear green or a color that is the same as the background. You should try to not move alot either to not leave the green screen area. Some problem you may encounter when using green screen is that you become kind see though, sometimes the background would work with you and not stay the way you want it (like ours, Dr.A said it was ok), and you may have people in the background and they woulnt be moving witch makes it look unrealistic. This is a problem, because you want to make it look the best as possible. For example gray is not a good color for green screen (wearing it). I think using Adobe P.Pro After Effects was very helpful in eliminating the background color (green) and applying the background you wanted. The technique that helped and was easy to use was the Keylight , this eliminated the grren background and helped it look more realistic when the backgroung was added.
