The cat is completely unrelated to this post but I thought everyone should see him as he was amazing, a couple friends and I went to a cat cafe a little while ago and I wanted to show people.
This project was all about learning how to make videos, using storyboards, different angles and shots, and more. We also learned about setting S.M.A.R.T goals, and creating goal ladders.
To learn more about goals, we read a book called ‘What do You Really Want?’
Using writing prompts from this, we started our goal trackers. Here’s mine:
Are you wondering what a S.M.A.R.T goal is? My friend Kira has made a wonderful video answering what a S.M.A.R.T goal is:
Another thing we did was make a goal ladder. A goal ladder is helpful for breaking down a larger goal into smaller easier to manage steps! Here’s the one I made, it’s more of a habit, but there’s still an end goal I’m working towards:
We had do make three videos for this project.
The first one was an individual assignment, and we had to do a video about what inspires us. First we filled out a form asking some questions, which would then help us with the video.
We learned a bit about ‘thinking like a moviemaker’, which involves showing things, rather than just explaining or describing it. We had to use Clips. Here is my video:
The second video was in groups, I had Andrew and Magnus in my group.It had to be about a ‘goal getter’ story, which could either be a story from the book, or someone in our group’s story. We chose Magnus’s story, about him wanting to shoot one hundred pucks a day to improve his skill. This also had to be filmed with Clips, and it also had to a silent video, but had to have a soundtrack. Here it is:
The third and final video was a tutorial video on one of the following: how to set goals, how to be a goal getter, or how to stay on track. My group (Mackenzie, Andrew, Keenan) chose how to stay on track. We had to use iMovie for this. I wrote a log line (a short 1-2 sentence describing the story) and the treatment (a longer summery of the story) and Mackenzie made the storyboard. Here’s the log line and the treatment:
Here’s the video:
