Filming Reflection

In my English 220 class yesterday my class had to do a video amongst our assigned groups. The assignment was to make a video about a tutoring session in the writing center. My group decided to do a tutor with two students and the students coming to the writing center with the same assignment but have to different problems that they want to fix with their revised paper. We wanted to show the pros and cons from a tutor having to deal with two students within a short tutoring session. In the video the tutor goes over the paper as a whole since both students have the same paper then asking them whats their individual problem that they want to work on. One student had a problem with transition and he work with that student first in the mean while the other student is going over her grammar errors since that's what she wants to work on anyways. He worked with the student with the transition problem for while then told her how to fix those transitions then went back to the other student that had grammar problems and worked on grammar with her. After finishing with that he checked on the first student and made sure her transitions were fixed and he did the same with the other student made sure her grammar mistakes were corrected. Then he asked if we had anymore questions and wish us well and that was it. There are three people in the group and an outside student that we asked to be the tutor. Two students from the group were the tutee's and the third person in the group was the person filming and she also wrote the script from the help of the other two students in the group. I believe when shooting this video the point we were trying to make was proven and I also saw that as I was sitting there playing one of the tutee's. The video is very effective it shows a real life session that does happen in the writing center. I had fun while doing this video, I rather not do it again but I'm glad my group got our main point across.
