Please reflect and talk about the changes you made between the first and final cut of your movie.
We did not make any changes of our second version of are movie for two reasons. One reason is because only one person commented and all it said was great job guys. The second reason is because we did not really know what to change because we thought it was already good.

Were the student comments helpful in making your final cut better?
No because like I said only one person commented and there comment did not have any feedback on how to make our second video better then our first one.
If you did not find an expert tell us why you were unsuccessful. Be honest.

We did not find a expert for 2 reasons.one reason is that we looked all over the Internet and we could not find anybody to communicate with that had to do with our topic. we tried everything that we could think of to communicate with an expert with no luck. Our second reason is because if we did have an expert interview in our movie project, it would have been longer then 3 minutes and Mr. Harbeck said that we would lose marks if the movie project is over 3 minutes and our movie was already 2 minutes and 54 seconds.

What was your greatest success in the 2 minutes project.

I think our greatest success in our project was the actual part where we made a difference.I think this was our greatest success because we made some blocks clean (without garbage), we prevented some damage to the ozone layer, and might have prevented a sickness of some kind because when garbage eventually decomposes, it puts a transparent poisonous gas in the air that can cause sickness. While we were cleaning up garbage, two guys said good job. One guy drove by in his car and said it and the other guy came out of his back yard and said it.

What skills will you take away with you and use in the future?
These skills that I will take with me in the future are making a difference, helping others, helping the world, and being a good citizen.

What frustrated you during the movie making process? What strategies did you use to become successful?What frustrated me during the movie making process is the part where we had to put it all together in movie maker because we could not figure out to use movie maker and it took use a couple of days. The strategies we used to become successful were we got help from other people, we used the Internet for help, and we made time to work on movie maker.

Why is the 2 minutes project important to grade 8 students?

This project is important because it shows grade 8 students and other people around the world how to make a difference in a variety of different things and hopefully it will inspire people to make a difference in the future.

How will you make a difference in the future?
How I will make a difference in the future is i will help people carry their groceries or help an elderly person cross the street and things like that and I will continue to make a difference.
