15A: Revisions

In class, we reviewed my final video draft.  I knew about some problems that I was not able to fix in time for class.  For instance, I could not figure out how to upload music.  I have the song I want but, I can not figure out how to get it onto the video.  So, now, there is four and a half minutes of awkward silence.  Then, my friends and I were all on different schedules when we got back to school after break so there was no way I could get my skit video taped in time for the peer review.  Luckly, I know exactly how I want the skit to go and, I ran the idea by my friends, so we are all on the same page for when we actually find some time to video tape it. 

My classmates gave me some great advice. They suggested that I include a clip from this movie called Speechless. The movie itself does not have much to do with drinking but, the opening scene is a perfect attention graber.

Also, the drinking policy is very long and confusing; but, it is very important to include it in the presentation in some way.  They recomended that I show they whole policy really fast, all at once.  It is meant to show everyone how long it is and to show that nobody reads it.  Since you won’t be able read the policy, I will paraphrase it.  

Another helpful tip was to talk to the campus police.  They should have a lot of information on campus policy and, they would even be able to answer some questions my classmates and I have on the policy.  I think, I will also go to the judicial affairs office and ask them for some statistics.

I thought the peer review was very helpful.  I was not confident that the video was any good, so this was really helpful for me.  I plan to use as much of their tips as possible.
