 INVESTIGATE -Explain why the Design Cycle is necessary. The design cycle helps you create a better product. When you use the design cycle to design something, you go through a set of steps that helps create a better product. It is an organized way to help make your final product better. The design cycle is necessary because it helps you make a better product than if you didn't use the design cycle. It also helps you answer any initial questions you may have about creating your product or anything about your product. -Outline the Design Brief. For this assignment, we need to create a movie that is at least a minute long. The edits of a clip cannot be more than five seconds long. In order to create this movie, we will use Final Cut Pro to edit the movie. By using Final Cut Pro, we will create a movie created for the purpose of Bradfield's entertainment/education on a particular subject. We are creating this movie to learn about Final Cut Pro, a movie editing software that some professionals use to create and edit well-known movies. Questions I Have: (Or have arisen later on.) 1. How many cameras will we need? 2. How will we be able film different scenes with more than one person in the scene if we only have two people? 3. How long will editing take if we run into problems like I did? <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> -Investigate and answer questions you may have about the assignment. 1. We will need multiple cameras for each scene as we need to change perspectives about every 5 seconds. We need at least 2 cameras when we begin filming. 2.We eventually decided to film and edit different parts as a group. 3. By troubleshooting, I was able to recreate my part of the project in two days. <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">PLAN/DESIGN

Investigate: We did a lot of practicing with final cut before so we would be able to edit our movie to make it look good, which is one thing we did well with investigating final cut. One thing we didn't investigate is how long editing would take if there were difficulties that arise, which did happen. We also had some things we hadn't previously investigate during editing, so we could have done that better so we could edit more efficiently.

Plan:We planned out our movie, not with a script, but the scenes were planned out so we could film faster than making it up on the spot. I think because we didn't plan out a script, our movie turned out to be more original than others. One thing we could do better with planning out our movie is better planning out our time, because there were some difficulties with editing, so it took a lot longer than expected.

Create: We did a pretty good job on our acting and editing of the movie, switching from scene to scene, even though the words weren't exact, the angle of the scenes when they switched were pretty good, so we did a decent job creating our movie. One thing we could do better creating our movie is spend more time on it. We could make it better by spending more time on it because the more time we spend, it will look better so we can add a title and things like that and create a menu for our movie. One good thing we did with create is that we troubleshooted problems well, and solved them quickly so we could get back on track to finishing our movie on time.

Evaluate: I answered all the questions, and even answered some of my own that I created so I did pretty well because we started without questions to answer, like the previous projects. One thing I could do better on evaluation is spend more time on it so I can have more time to think more deeply about my answers, but other than that I did a pretty good job evaluating my movie. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> -Evaluate the quality of your project. Our project was pretty good I think. It was well planned out, and created. We did a good job editing and switching scenes in our movie, I think we did a really good job overall on our movie. We could spend more time editing our movie to make it even better, but we were pressed for time because of the difficulties we had during editing. It is overall, a pretty good job, we could do better, but we did pretty well under our circumstances. <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">ATTITUDE <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">-Reflect on your attitude. I feel I did pretty well on my attitude. I wasn't grumpy most of the time, and I didn't really get mad when my project got ruined by difficulties with Final Cut. My attitude was pretty good during this project, I was also really cheerful during the whole thing. My attitude during this project was very good I think.
