Version 1




Final Cut





Please relect and talk about the changes you made between the first and final cut of your movie. Were the student comments helpful in making your final cut better?
How did you find your expert? List 3 important points your expert added to your movie. What did you learn from your expert?
In the first version, the voices weren't that clear and we still needed an interview. In the final version we made the voices more clear and we ask for permission from someone who had interviewed an expert. The experts name was David Suzuki. One thing I learned from the our expert is that it is not too late to make a difference. Another thing I learned is that scientists are already trying to find ways to stop this problem. The last thing I learned is that even though we can reduce of greenhouse gases we can't remove the damage we have already done.

What was your greatest success in the 2 minutes project. What skills will you take away with you and use in the future?
Some skills I will take away are giving people credit for their work and asking for permission such as using cc pictures and asking permission for information. Another skill I will take away will be the ability to use iMovie and converting movie files.

What frustrated you during the movie making process? What strategies did you use to become successful?
Something that frustrated our group was the fact that the person we were suppose to interview wouldn't respond and we solved the problem by asking permission from someone else to use part of an interview they had with David Suzuki.

Why is the 2 Minutes project important to Grade 8 Students?
I think that the 2 Minutes to make a Difference project is important because at this stage of like we are not aware of all the things happening in the world. The project helps students learn about the outside world and how fortunate we are. If every student made a difference at least one time in thier lifetime, the world could be a better place.



How will you make a difference in the future?
I will make a difference in the future by doing simple things that make a differences such as using the 3 r's and reduce the use of the car. Another way I will make a difference will be by using composting bin. I will also use recycling bins because I have one in my house and it has reduce a LARGE amount of garbage in my trash can. Another way I will make a difference is to encourage lots of people to help make the world a better place.
