The student learned several things about planning a film project. Their group struggled with the pitch process to choose an idea and instead decided on an anti-smoking film collectively. They also researched the target audience. For equipment, they learned how to use the camera and sound equipment. They were taught editing on Final Cut Pro, including cutting clips and controlling sound and image separately. The student believes their first film product turned out well despite challenges with planning and equipment, and that teamwork helped overcome these challenges.
