Review:

Virtual Tours are like a simulation that makes you feel like you are somewhere you are not. Virtual tours are an amazing feature to technology that lets you explore a building or city. There are some bad things about it though, its sometimes lags badly, it is sometimes 2D and it can be fake meaning that its not really what the place looks like. Sometimes it is a very accurate tour and it can be in 3D which gives you a very good idea of what the building or city looks like.

One of the best virtual tours I have been on is the Monster MIlk Truck, it lets you drive around the world in a milk truck and do any tricks and other stuff that you want.

Although its a little bit glitchy and its sometimes 2D depending of whether you have good internet connection or not, it is a great game and it fills spare time with a little fun. If you want to play the Monster Milk Truck game go to this link but beware you need the google earth plug-in to play this game.

What do you do in your spare time?

Life ED Movie

Sound quality: voice volumes, background noise, distracting sounds

Our voices were a little bit quiet but you could hear our voices clearly.

Camera skill: steadiness of the camera, effects, angles, locations, lighting

Acting: robotic performance, realistic acting skills, script genuiness, speed of replies, facial expressions, looking at the camera, tone, FAKENESS

It was pretty realistic and nobody looked at the camera.

Editing: flow in the cut scenes, transitions, music effects

The flow was crisp.

Poem: time, quality of the poem, scrolling speed, voiceover, poem is relevant to the movie content

I think our poem had a nice time on it but I think only one person should have read it instead of two people.

Quality of the life education message in your movie (the Script): realism, was it a good message?

I think it tells you that you should't smoke but it could of been a better message.

Teamwork: all team members were working equally, nobody excluded, everyone had a role, everyone had a choice, how your group solved problems

I think we worked well as a team, everybody got a say in what we did and we solved our problems easily.


Overall I would rate our movie 7/10

Don’t do drugs
