Eye of the Editor - Compare and Contrast:
 * 1) How is your story similar or different from the stories in the movies of your group? Well everyone in the group used the same shots. I thought everyone's project in my group was going to come out the same but my other group members switched a lot of the videos around. It was cool to see how all of them changed things and added there own twist to it.
 * 2) What techniques did you use or did members of your group use to change the story? My group members put different shots in a different order to change the message a little bit. When we shot the video with James in it we used a fading camera technique which means the camera man would back up slowly as they shot. This gave the video a little dramatic moment.
 * 3) Describe how the editor can control and manipulate the final version of the story to change the message or to change the emphasis. The editor can change many things thta can effect a movie or video's message. The editor can change the order of the shots taken, add music, and add different filters. All these things are what make a video serious, dramatic, or happy.
