L/O: to evaluate and review our News Day projectEvaluation
- I edited everyone's stories together and wrote, filmed and edited a story on Mr Man's haircut
- I enjoyed the editing the most because I'm good at it
- I enjoyed the filming myself the least because I'm cringy
- I developed my editing skills, such as green screening, I also learned how to film properly.
- I learned the news process is difficult
- If I were to do this again I'd have a proper team
