We made a lot of changes in the first version. It took some time for us to make it better. we changed the song because we thought the song is not relating to the topic, because i think the topic is very powerful and the song that we used first wasn't really that interesting since it was a very romantic-like tone. we also change the size of the text and the background, because the pictures in the first version contains lots of information , but it was very hard to read. Instead of using a picture for the background of the information we used black and white for the color of the text. We also change the formation of the movie. We removed the part that showed people their opinions about water pollution, We thought it was okay if the video was submitted me without that part of the video because it has many information that get peoples attention. Yes, the students who commented were really helpful it made us think about how we can improve our video

We tried getting an Interview from an expert, but we were unsuccessful because the expert was very busy due to her work and we have no idea when she is free. We tried calling 3 or 2 times a week.

I think the greatest success of the video was the Settings of the movie, it was very simple but because of Monica's editing skills she made the movie very good. We had so much trouble gathering all the media. But, all in all i thought that this project experience would be very helpful in the future because now i know what to do.

I was very frustrated about uploading the movie. We had no idea how to do it, so we asked people for advice and it didn't became very helpful. We decided to ask for help to Mr. Harbeck and FINALLY the video was uploaded but it was 2 days late.

I think the 2 minutes project is improtant because it helps us realize what people are experiencing around the world and what we can do to help.

In the Future , I will make a difference by living the things i learned in the past life. Like donating foods, money, clothing, and etc. Cleaning the roads, filtering water, and using things that are most likely economically friendly.
