Mr. Popcorn's Tragedy

Group work is good because it allows distributing responsibilities. By sharing the thoughts and techniques of individuals, the group members put less time and the outcome is greater than individual work than doing entire work by oneself. However, since the responsibilities are distributed, once one member misses to do certain job, it affects every other member’s plan so it is hard to cover that job. Our group did not start with clear theme and distribution. So the work was even harder than any other work I have ever done.   
The first idea started with fruits in the fruit truck outside school. We wanted to do lots of special effect but it was not possible for us who has never made videos. While the brainstorming, I got the idea of pop corn.  I thought it would be interesting if we contrast between human having fun eating pop corn and the pop corn hating being sold and eaten. Kimberly had idea that what if we make it as a form of advertisement so we slightly twist actual advertisement in cynical tone. 
The first plan was that I and Ring edit the video and Kimberly work with audio. Kimberly collects the background sounds. I edited first half of the video and Ring edited last half of the video.  It was simple rough cuts because we wanted to consider Kimberly’s review. We spent a week trying to keep in touch with Kimberly but she did not respond. A week later, Kimberly brought another video file because she did not like ours. I was mad at her not keeping in touch with us but I actually liked her video more than we made so I and Ring discarded and developed the video Kimberly worked. Ring and I edited Kimberly’s video cutting some parts out and putting some footage more and we added the sound.
When we recorded the video, in some part, sound was recorded very loud or very low. With final cut, the sound level had to be adjusted for each cut in order to keep the sound in consistence. In addition, we loop sound in some part to give a sense of continuity.
As a result, the Mr. Popcorn’s Tragedy was created!
