Have you ever done a project with multiple phases? If you have, you probably know what it’s like. The multiple phases are essay, script, and final product. I think the script is the hardest because you have to cut down your essay a lot, and you have to time everything. If it’s too long you have to cut it down again. The video is also hard because you have to find creative commons pictures that match what you’re talking about and sometimes that can be pretty hard if you’re doing a deeper topic.

 The first part of the process was the research phase. Sometimes it was hard but there were some parts for me that were pretty easy. For example, I found a site that has a lot of information and almost all of it was what I needed. There were some sub questions that were hard to find information on. Also I had to change one of my sub questions because I couldn’t find anything on it. I learned that the reason people get addicted is because of dopamine in the brain.

The pros of social media are you can connect with people and you can be popular. The cons of social media are you can get addicted and it can affect your health. The motivation behind people using it is dopamine gets released in the brain and makes you want to go back for more. Finding pictures and making my script was challenging. Adding final touches were enjoyable. You can take a look at my Capstone Essay.

I chose a movie because when we did the immigration movies I was behind and it wasn’t that good so I wanted to push myself to make my capstone movie better. Also it’s really hard for me to memorize a kind of long script. The process of completing my script was cutting down my essay a lot. Then changing the wording a little so it sounded like something I would say and not just all information. Then I took little parts of my script at a time, adding it into my script and adding the timing. You can look at my Script Template.

The process for completing my final product was putting in the pictures that match in the right spots, making my final recording without any background noise, and lastly I added the music that matched my Capstone. I thought that cutting down my essay and also making my essay was the easiest. Putting in all of the timing, finding the pictures and adding pictures were the most challenging for me.

In conclusion I mostly enjoyed making my Capstone even though some parts were hard.  I also made a poster so if you want to print it click here but if you want to view it digitally click here. I’m happy with my final product. If you want to see my video click here
