March 25-Yesterday during our WISE class, Ms. Lord showed us a documentary created by a former WISE student. The quirk about this documentary was that it was made about another students' WISE project. The title of the documentary was Barnsong, and it is about a student who built a barn completely from scratch as his project. He did everything from cutting down the trees on his property, to milling them to create beams, to nailing everything together, to raising and finishing the barn.
I found it very interesting to see two projects in one. I actually thought it was a great idea for a project because it encouraged so much collaboration.
Listed below are a few praises and criticisms of the combined project.
Praises:
Music was well used and fit the mood
Showed just enough of the barn project for it to make sense, without showing us everything
Asked good questions of the student building the barn
Showed both successes and failures, also showed how to overcome problems
Criticisms:
Needed commentary to describe what was happening (some dead spots)
Music was sometimes too loud and covered up voices
Some scenes seemed random and out of place
Hopefully I can take what I learned from these two projects and apply it to my own. Even though they aren't directly related, they show some good examples of collaboration.
