 Okay, so thanks for being here for the group Reflections. We'll start off by asking, what are your takeaways from the digital media creation project? I would say my takeaway would be that we got to see a good perspective view from the teachers and the students because without the creation of this video, we wouldn't be able to hear or see their personal thoughts and feelings on language learning, so that would be my takeaway. I completely agree with Tanisha's point. I think it was interesting to see that each teacher had a different approach, but they all kind of shared the same passion towards making sure that every student succeeds in their respective classes, which is really nice and satisfying to see. My takeaway from the digital media product, the video we created, I'm actually inspired to make another video for the second semester because at the beginning I felt like it was going to be something very challenging because I'm not a technical person with electronics or anything like that. I had my group members who were very familiar with it and I learned, and it was pretty fun because I felt like we created something special. My takeaway is that I'm inspired to do maybe other projects using DaVinci Resolve and creating other things that could help other people too. Now, how about challenges with filming and editing? What did you encounter? How did you solve them? Well, we had several challenges, but nothing significant enough for us. This was a really tough thing to get through. I think a slight challenge for me was kind of transporting the equipment back and forth, mostly because I took public transportation and it just wasn't built for that. Other than that, I don't think we had any major challenges when we were setting up a time or working on anything else, but I think Tanisha, you had something to add, right? I would just say a challenge would be the fine-tuning of the details and trying to cooperate and decide on what should be kept and what shouldn't be kept. Because there were three different perspectives and ideas and it was kind of challenging to decide on one overall. Yeah, to add on Tanisha's point, I actually agree with that. It was challenging because our final product was nine minutes and then to bring it down to six minutes was very challenging. Deciding what to crop more, but it was like our final edit turned out to be eight minutes. That's what we all agreed on and just for the video to flow and make sense. But that was, I would say, very challenging to bring it down because we shot enough content to make a whole actual episode. To make a 30-minute video. It was very interesting to see how the process is very intricate. I was also mentioning before how we spent so much hours on making a video for approximately 10 minutes. I can't imagine what the Hollywood producers go to make a whole movie. That's like an hour and a half. It was a very cool process to see happen. Amazing. Now you did mention collaborating in a group. How has the group work enhanced your learning experience? I think we bounced back a lot of ideas and we scaffolded a lot with our creativity and adding on to each other's ideas. It was just interesting to see how everything was so organic with our ideas and it just became better. I think it was pretty fun too because we all shared the same kind of goals. We all set up a time that we all agreed that we wanted to finish it early. Anything that we wanted to do, we came to agreement pretty quickly. We didn't really have any arguments about it or talked about it too much. This is the best time for me. What's the best time for you guys? We communicated pretty well throughout the whole process. We were pretty much like a really well-oiled machine. It's like a quote we have in retail with teamwork and how we try to make people all the roles flow together. We all brought different views on how our final product should look like. I feel it has a bit of all of our personalities in the video that we created. I would also say that because we were in a group, I didn't feel that I was struggling at any point. If there was something I wasn't sure of, my group members were able to pick up for where I couldn't put in. That was a good part because it didn't feel as challenging as it would have if I did it by myself. I think you were pretty good at covering each other's weaknesses. I find myself talking at a very low volume. But to make up for it, I think Matthew speaking at a higher volume was a pretty good touch. Which was a really nice thing to see when we were post-editing too. I think it was also pretty fun to edit together and see how our views could come together and end up with our final product. I also want to add I can't see doing this on my own. I was actually thinking about it. I'm like, I wonder if I can ask you if I can do this project all alone. But I'm glad I didn't even ask you that question because it took a team to make this video. Like I said, I'm so proud of what we made. I would show this video to my grandkids. That's how proud I am about this video. Amazing. What do you think about your final product that is about to launch? I would say I'm proud of our product. From looking at where we were at the starting point to where we are at the final point. And how it's progressed so effortlessly and it's so cohesive. So I'm very proud of our final product. I actually didn't end up, I didn't expect how it turned out. It was better than I expected, but also more unexpected than I expected. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but it was stitched together a lot more fluidly than I would expect it. I don't really have a lot of video editing experience. So to see it come together so nicely is really satisfying. Of course it wouldn't have happened at all if we didn't have Sandra and Tim. But shout out. But it all turned out pretty well. I honestly felt, in my opinion, when we added the music to our video, I felt that was the climax of our moment of this video coming to life. And that was my favorite part when we, towards the end of the video, choosing the music and putting the background. I just felt like it came to life. Oh, I haven't seen that again. Okay, so how has, last question, how has this project inspired you for the future? So this is something totally different from teaching, but I'm planning on launching a business account online, Instagram, for products that I make on the side as a hobby. So I actually felt like seeing, making this video, I'm like, oh, I have a vision for my business account. So I feel like this video really created a spark in me to try something new. And I'm very happy that I went through this whole experience. Yeah. I think going off of Matthew's point, just trying something new was a really good point that he made. The fact that we took it step by step too, like it was a pretty long journey, but it really inspired me to just take everything slowly. As long as you're making progress towards the goals that you set out, it's pretty fun. Like it's pretty fun to take it slow and just do as much as you can with the amount of time that you have kind of thing. Yeah, and I would also say if I ever needed to make any videos in the future, that I would feel confident in doing so. So I'm just grateful for the experience. Actually, I thought of one other little question I have. Has this been very different from your learning in other courses that you've taken or similar? To say that I haven't done any video editing and one of my other courses would be a lie. Back when I was doing my undergrad in my Korean class, I had to do a video too, but it was a lot more comedic than this one. And I recommend not watching it because it was pretty bad. But I have experience from that, but nothing as serious and as high stakes as this because we are showing it in the showcase. Yeah, I would agree. I would say that I've done making videos and stuff, but I haven't been in charge of the editing process and having that much control of what we're doing and what's going in it. So I haven't been that responsible. For me, I just feel that I'm happy I took this course this year because this project was launched like this year. We're the first class doing this project. So I'm glad I didn't take it last year. And I saved technically, I would say, the best course for last to end my whole TESOL program at York University. I think this was the cherry on top of the final course. And I heard from all my other previous peers they said the practicum was the best experience for them. So that also helped me decide to do this course as my last course as part of the program. Amazing.
