Compare and Contrast

This was our Vocab video. The group was assigned 10 words and each person got 2 words to work on. In the project we had to define the word using Youtube videos. The problem with this project was finding videos that defined the words accurately and compiling them into a smooth flowing video. Heres ours'.

South Docudrama

This is the trailer to our movie for the South Docudrama. Its one of two semester long projects we had to work on. We work in the same group that worked on the vocab video, in this project the movie had to be based off a Discovery channel show. The show we picked was "Sons of Guns" where a gun shop in Louisiana called Red Jacket Firearms fixes and builds custom firearms. Our show was explaining simple maintenance and troubleshooting on engines in general. Heres our trailer and full-length clips.
