In French 11 we had to create a short film. This was the trailer for our short film.
I can evaluate and use well-chosen evidence to develop interpretations; identify alternatives, perspectives, and implications; and make judgments. I can examine and adjust my thinking.
During the trailer, there were a lot of different issues we faced, especially with time and places we needed to shoot. I used this core competency because it was a group project, so I had to collaborate with my peers which is seeking feedback. I also needed to reassess my work and adjust when there were shots we couldn’t film or we didn’t have time for, so I had to adjust the trailer and the plan we had to fit what we were able to do. I could have definitely improved in my editing skills and the trailer in general if we had more time to work on it and we had the places we needed to shoot for longer, but I worked with what we had to create a final product.
I can recognize my strengths and take responsibility for using strategies to focus, manage stress, and accomplish my goals.
For this, I think I need to grow in this area, especially with how I manage stress because I don’t think I do it very well and I end up reflecting that on other people. I also would like to try and see my strengths more since, for example when I got a lower grade than I wanted on a test, I only was able to view it as a failure and what I got wrong instead of how I got through the situation as well as the parts I did good on.
