Blog Entry #5.21 - CAS Evaluation

The group that would be most inspired by my campaign are adults. Adults will see the poster and video and get emotional over it once they think of the innocence of a child. They will be more likely to take immediate action about it. The group that will be least inspired by my campaign are teenagers. I think that I would need to add more drastic pictures to capture the attention of the teenagers. They will think about their little brother or sister and then get concerned about the issue.

The Learner Profile quality that was my greatest strength during this project was Inquirers. I was always curious as to how I would make my video. Then, I learned how to create the video on Windows Movie Maker 2 and edit it. I use this newfound knowledge to complete my video. The Learner Profile quality that was my greatest challenge was Knowledgeable. I didn't have much prior knowledge about editing videos. No, I did not work to the best of my ability. I could worked a lot better by making an actual video with people in it instead of making one on Windows Movie Maker 2.

One problem that I encountered was adding music into the video. I did not know how to download the music to then import it into the video. At home, I had my phone plugged into my laptop. Therefore, the music files were there. So I imported a song from my phone onto the video. The technology skill I learned was how to edit the video. I edited how long I wanted the video to be and I added pictures. I also put one transition in there and added text. I will use this skill whenever I need to make another video for other classes.

Blog Entry #5.17 - Investigation Evaluation

The aspect of my issue that I chose to focus on was preventing child abuse from happening and how to help those who have fallen victim to it. I focused on this because it is very important for victims to know that they have support from those that care for them deeply. Also, it can be avoided by alerting an authority figure.

I could improve my poster design by adding more pictures dealing with Child Abuse. I had only two pictures in the center. I could improve my video by ading more effects and transitions into it to make it look better and presentable.
