Congratulations on finishing the first version of your scene! As with any media project, reflection and feedback are a big part about improving a piece.

For this assignment, you will have feedback from some peers as well as the staff in your OpinionCity link that you submitted with the first assignment by Wednesday, February 2nd 2022 by the end of the day. We will have some suggestions for ways to improve or change your edit. We want you to read the feedback and implement changes to address the comments.

The goal of this assignment is to make the “final cut” of your scene, spending time cleaning up any rough edits. At a minimum, we would like you to choose a piece of music to enhance your scene (or sound effects - see below), make and add a title (call it whatever you like), and add end credits.

You are welcome to implement the changes as you see fit, but your changes should do your best to address the feedback you’ve been given. You may find it useful to pull in footage from the other scenarios, as well (footage located here).

Here are the requirements for your final version of the film:

  • Reflect on your own project after getting feedback
