Reflection 1

I have learned in this video how to plan to do a film before doing it. Because  we had a problem to make film and we didn’t prepare ourselves before starting the movie. So it took us three days to finish our movie by start thinking what each member of the group will talk about. Because of that we had to bring a small white bored and read during the report. The other side we have faced the weather because it was hot and sunny. However, we found a helpful tourist and they help us to make an interview to finish the most important thing in this video. In the end I would like thank all group for working and helping each other to make this video perfect.
