For our film/video production my group decided to make a documentary about how students are coping with school and living in residents. It was a fun documentary and we got useful information out of it. We went around interviewing Guelph-Humber students to get their opinions on life as an university student and some of the Humber residences about their transitions. YouTube was being uncooperative with getting our video up so we don't have a copy.But here are some quotes from our video...
"It used to be a ten-fifteen minute drive to get anything and now I just walk downstairs [for food]."-- Tom Bender, first year.
"It [the freedom] doesn't get boring, but the novelty of getting whatever you want, whenever you want wears off, because you feel the direct effect of every decision you make and you end up having to be responsible." -- Ashley Shawongonabe, second year
"It's kind of weird, because I don't have to let anyone know where I'm going. But it's kind of awesome at the same time. I thought I was going to do a lot more with my freedom, but I kind of stuck to the original way I was raised. Honestly, it's really tempting to skip class because nobody is checking up on you. That's the biggest change."-- Julie Franklin, first year
We all came up with ideas for our film, but we thought this would be the most beneficial. It allowed us to see how others were coping and we had fun playing with different angles. Nikki did the filming, and Jen and I took turns interviewing people. Then we all took turns editing it, using iMovie.
From making this video I learned what is involved in making a film. As well, I learned how people are feeling towards school and resident life.
