Eye of the Editor - Compare and Contrast:
 * 1) How is your story similar or different from the stories in the movies of your group? //Mine goes for a more realistic news story than an individual movie. Also, I cut off some of the longer information. For instance, Emily's puts a happier spin on it, while Jack makes it have an island theme with the steel drum music. Jacob is a mixture of all of Emily's and Jack's. Jack kept most of the long speaking sequences while the rest of us cut those.//
 * 2) What techniques did you use or did members of your group use to change the story? //We cut some clips, added sounds and effects, and adjusted the volume different degrees.I added effects and transitions as well.//
 * 3) Describe how the editor can control and manipulate the final version of the story to change the message or to change the emphasis. //They can make a happy story seem sad with just music and effects, or a sad story seem happy with lighter music.They can focus on one piece of information or another.//
