School Field Trip Debate Video

My debate video was just “bad”. For this project we had to create a video the activity departed two sides of a debate. Our topic for this video was field trips and wether they are worth the money or not. I took a partial leadership role in my group of 7.

We created a good educational video with what I thought were strong points but, it was BORING. It was way to long and covered every little point. And that’s were I think we went wrong was with our desire to make a movie with all the content and not just the stuff. If we had made a really well produced 5 minute video that just covered the strong points for each side it would of been a much better video.
Things I liked about this project were scarce but, the one thing that I improved on was motivating group members that didn’t seem to engaged on the task at hand. I had to employ a multitude of tactics depending on the group member I was working with ranging from aggressive to encouraging. I

Things I didn’t like about this project was the topic and outlined goal. The topic we had was school field trips which I thought was an awful topic. There isn’t much easily and reliable Canadian statics to create strong arguments for both sides. With the program I am involved in I felt that the biases towards that field trips are good is so strongly supported. So I didn’t really have a chance to make radical statements with some evidence behind it for the field trips are bad side. I think we had the perception that this had to be a 10 minute long video which I think is insane. The only you can achieve a 10 minute long video that is quality is with professional skills are a lot of work.

Overall this project was not the best showing of my skills or my group members. Here is my group members Tylo’s blog as he had a similar opinion to me.
