Eye of the Editor - Compare and Contrast: In my movie, it was about a student being honest to another student about their possessions (a wallet). He decided to return the property of the other student rather than take it for his own. In the movies of my group members, they show a difference of with and without virtues, but it did show the student being honest to the other. I think that my movie is similar to the other movies of my group members, but mine is a little different. For me, I had edited clips of Bryan taking my wallet, making him look like he stole it. But, near the end, I made Byan look like an honest student by showing him returning the wallet to me. For the other group members, they made Bryan look like a person with and without virtues. They had included words describing what's going on during the movie, as well as in between clips. The editor can easily change the message of the story by using multiple clips and editing them. They could make someone look like the bad guy, or the good guy. You just edit the clip(s) to a certain point where the story seems completely different from others.
 * 1) How is your story similar or different from the stories in the movies of your group?
