Fifth Session: First Day of Filming December 17, 2013

Today, Mr. Ramirez wanted us to work on filming and would supervise us through the shoot. I was nervous and afraid that I might mess up my lines and force the rest of the group to switch me out for someone else. My nervousness subsided as they told me that my partner and I were doing a great job and complimented our acting skills. They said my nervousness helped with capturing the role of a victim and that my partner also captured the role of a bully since he was larger than I was in height and size. We filmed for two hours having to make too many takes because of things interfering like an airplane flying in the middle of our dialogue or employees going on break and their voices were captured in the video. For the last hour Mr. Ramirez brought us back inside to play the individual video presentations some peer mentors had made early and to review them before presenting it to the leaders of the company. Presentations went on for twenty minutes as each video was paused and reviewed for improvements that could have been made to them. My video was the last to be presented out of four that were submitted. Everyone thought that my video was very good in that my brother and I gave two different perspectives from a younger generation's experience to an older generation's experience. I was very proud of my brother and myself for being able to work on this video together and I was happy that everyone had liked it. For the last thirty minutes we used the individual presentations to think of ideas to help improve our overall presentation. The next thing I needed to do was help put the video together and also help with editing it as well.
