21st CENTURY SKILLS

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

asking others for help in times of question? or even self reflection and I mean like personal habits or mistakes and fixes that my teamates fix on my own actions which sounds bad but Thats how I learn unfortunatly.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

Talking with my team and understanding how the film should be, then improve off of their advise and from my own.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

Understanding and seeing how things work as in shot list and then blending inside of the film later on.

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

this helps buil team building skills, habits and common known skills learned from those I have worked with.

REACTIONS TO THE FINAL VERSION

Soo… what we will put out is going to be okay in terms of editing and sound, but It will be presentable.

SELF-REFLECTION

In terms of my film for me or my team, I think our film will turn out, and I wouldn’t have done it differently…..
