Stop Motion Immigration: The Final Product

When we were finished I was so proud. I couldn’t believe what I was looking at. I was looking at my beautiful hard work. We shared it with the class and we had to make a few changes. So we fixed up our video and boom! it was finished and amazing. I am so amazed at our hard work. I didn’t know that it would be this good and this amazing. The music is calm and peaceful in the background. And the stop motion turned out crazy cool. I am so proud of it that you can watch it yourself.

This is my groups video for you to watch.

 

 

I hope you enjoyed our stop motion immigration video!

Stop Motion Immigration: Success!

We have been partying since we finished. Lana, Una, and I bursted out with joy. It was an amazing feeling. All of our hard work has paid off.

When we finished our stop motion it was an amazing feeling. It is like we had just accomplished our favorite thing in the world. Every snap paid off and we just wanted to watch it over and over again. But we all knew that that wasn’t the last step in the whole process. Next was exporting and that took a long time. Then putting it into iMovie was actually pretty easy. Then we did our voice over. It took like five times to get perfect, but we did it. We were all very proud! We couldn’t believe our eyes. We were looking at our final project. Our perfect conclusion of the immigration project. Our video that we could be super proud of.

Once we saw the whole thing we knew that it was it. Our final perfect project. It was like we were looking at a gold nugget. It was our biggest group accomplishment and we were super proud of it.

 

Stop Motion Immigration: Struggles and Problem Solving

The project isn’t all that easy. One way it isn’t is that there were a bunch of problems and we had to solve them so we could go on. There were a lot of struggles and a lot of arguing and a lot of problem solving and working together. We really had to work as a team during this project.

As I said there were a lot of struggles and problem solving times. Some examples for struggles are not agreeing, fighting over jobs, how fast our filming goes, and who gets what part. One person would get upset and then the other two try to persuade this one that we all should stay with what were good at. Some examples of problem solving strategies are grabbing a drink of water, talking it out, and arguing for what you want.

Those problems and strategies actually happened and worked. Our group disagrees but when we work it out we are a great team.

Stop Motion Immigration: The Process

There is a huge process for our stop motion immigration. Some might think that it is just clicking buttons but it is way more than that. My group consists of three people. Each of us has a job in research, filming, and more.

THE STEPS: Research, Set Designed, Storyboard, Scripts, Filming, Exporting to Desktop, Title Screen, Credits, Cropping, Green Screen, Voice Over, Transitions, and Background Music.

Those are the steps. There are many and each are hard. We researched about Ellis Island processing. We made our toy theater for set design. Our storyboard is somewhat accurate. We finished our script first, after research. We made a film that we are all proud of. Exporting to the desktop took about two minutes, more than we expected. The title screen says our names and our title, of course. We mentioned Mr. Casal, Ms. Boyer, and Ms. Cameron in our credits. We agreed not to crop. We didn’t use a green screen. We have to do an awesome voice over. The transitions are built into our stop motion. And we do no want to do any background music.

With all of those steps combined I think we will have an awesome iMovie in the end.
