After story evaluation

His side, her side.

This girl and this boy were furnishing a little apartment.

The girl sat on the bed. She pushed off her shoes and lay back. She thought she could see a star.

"Come here, Jack. Try this bed. Bring one of those pillows,"

1.  What kind of details does Carver choose to describe the “place?” 

He made it seem like it was in a poorer neighborhood and that people there didn’t really communicate very well with each other.

2.  2.What do the following passages tell you about the place? 

“The girl sat on the bed. She pushed off her shoes and lay back. She thought she could see a star.”

“Lights came on in the houses up and down the street.”

That people kind of did what they want and didn’t think or care about what other people though.  It could be a city too because its hard to see stars in cities or well lit places.  And they also made them seem like they weren’t every wealthy based on the fact that they were buying abed out of the front of someone’s yard.

3.  3.Now look at the passages that you chose. How do they talk about the place? Why are they important or unimportant? 

That they didn’t care at all what other people thought, were pretty poor and didn’t have much.

Group Movie Project

Criteria: Group Movie Project


Describe your role in the production of the class movie. How did your contribution make things more efficient? How did you help make the movie better? What specific contributions did you make? Did you go above and beyond, or simply show up? Be honest.

I first helped with coming up with ideas for the movie.  When we were in the group I would say that Sarah and I came up with the most ideas for the movie.  Then during filming I was the script supervisor for one of the filming days. In the days that I wasn't I was an extra.  Then during editing I wasn't the one on the computer but I made sure to contribute my ideas to Jeremy who was the person editing.  I wouldn't say that I was above and beyond but I did work hard and contributed to the video.

Describe one or more things you learned about the writing process that you did not know before working on this project.

I didn't know all of the steps on how to make a script and I thought it was really interesting on how much you had to do.  The steps on making really makes you creative and makes you think about the video you want to make and what you want the outcome to look like.

Describe one or more things you learned about the production (filming) process that you did not know before working on this project.

I really think the biggest thing I learned about the filming process was how to write a proper script.  I'm going to use the steps to make all my videos from now on.  Its alway hard to get your ideas out with everyone trying to get their ideas put into the movie.

Describe one or more things you learned about the post-production (editing, sound, etc.) process that you did not know before working on this project.

I learned the correct way to L cut.  I always wanted to learn how to make conversation scenes like they do in the movies, and now i know.

Are you satisfied with the final product? Why or why not? Be honest.

It's not quiet as good as i thought it would be but I still like the video.  I think that i had really high expectations for this movie just because i knew how good all of the videos that people in this class has made.

Suggest one improvement for next year’s class. What could I do to make it easier/better/more informative/more fun?

I loved everything about it.  The only thing that I can think would make it better was if we had more time.
