for our music video, Randy wrote the lyric and also found the song. then, he took it to the class and showed us. after that, we started filming based on the lyric.
yeah, I enjoyed making the music video more than the past videos because it's easier for me.
the most difficult part of filming is creation.
our leader was Cooper. He did well.
I think Randy has been the best leader. He was very creative and made the filming go more smoothly.

#11 Additional comments about the class and film making.
the history class is interesting, at least I don't have to memorize all the things in the book like what I did in my country. in this class, I know more things about American history [ of course :D]. I feel like history is a subject that I learn for my knowledge, not like I'm forced to learn arid timelines.
for some people, film making is exciting. for me, it's kind of. I don't mean that it's bad. in fact, it enhances the lessons.

for the writing assignment, I think it helped me learn more about the French and Indian war because I had to read more facts about the war on the Internet. for me, what the writing assignment helped was equal to making film. however, the writing assignment was harder. every student had to work individually and know to how to add to facts into the assignment =.=
until now, I still couldn't image how the last film would be. do we have to create a song ??? I would rather be able to choose the genre of music.
