Taylor Spielburg


Although I am no Steven Spielberg I think I did an okay job on my first video project. It was a little complicated at first and I won’t lie I was a bit overwhelmed but I am happy with the way it has turned out. Going into this project I thought finding people to interview was going to be the easiest part but I was very wrong. I thought making the movie was going to be super difficult but I was also wrong.

I started out this project by making a check list of what I needed to do because I knew if I didn’t have it all written in front of me I definitely would forget parts of it. I made deadlines for each task that needed to be done and for the most part I was able to stick to it. For me the three hardest tasks were one, making it informative yet interesting, two finding staff/faculty willing to be interviewed and three, picking a song. I feel that for the most part I was able to overcome my obstacles, the video is informative and hopefully isn’t too boring for most people and although it took a while to decide on a song I think the one I chose was good. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get two staff/faculty members to interview I was however able to get one of the cafeteria workers to talk to me for a little. I asked him he thought no one wanted to talk to me and he said he thinks it was because of the topic. He said that because healthy eating and school cafeteria foods are such a controversial thing that most people don’t want to get involved. I guess I understand that and now looking back I probably should have planned ahead of time and left myself extra time to find more interviewies.

Using Windows Movie Maker was actually much easier than I expected! I enjoyed getting to know the program however there were a few things I still don’t understand so I wasn’t able to do as much as I would have liked to but I am happy with the way my video came out.
