Eye of the Editor - Compare and Contrast:
 * 1) How is your story similar or different from the stories in the movies of your group?
 * My story is similar to those in my group because we used some of the same clips. My story is differnet to those in my group because we used different background music. We used some different clips. What I mean by that is, we took a lot of videos. Some members used some and left some out and others used the same videos. Each memeber did not use every video. One member might have had a video that another member did not use. We have different arrganement in which the videos are viewd as well. I told a very different story from my group members. One person used bad footage, I tried to use the best. I didnt use footage with backgorund noise like some of my gorup memebers. I have different music and I have breaks in every slide which my members didn't have. My story told Random Acts of Kindess. I left out some footage to show that. Other members put in extra footage to show a story like What Comes Around Goes Around.**

2.What techniques did you use or did members of your group use to change the story?
 * We used different arrangments. We all have differnet titles. We have the same title, we just all put it in a different way of saying it. I added a break between the videos, so it was not one video after another. I guess you could say I put in an extra slide so that way the viewer would have more time to take in the clip they just watched.**

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 control the final version or help change the message by the order in which each video was showed(the order or arrangment). Also, by the music that was used. How loud and soft it was. What type of music it was. The editor can also change the story by what clips they put in. My video was about kindness, I showed someone being kind to others. If I added a video where the people I was being kind to turned around and was kind to others, then the Movie could be What Comes Around Goes Around. Since I left the videos of the people I was being nice to helping others, my video was more about kindness.**
