          Today, February 1st, we began class by class discussing different cuts. Cuts like dissolve, jump cuts and more. Following this, we watch the Lord of the Rings clip from the previous class to analyze it more. Immediately after we were then assigned as a group to identify 15 cuts and explain how they effect the narrative, thematic, and practical aspect of the film. Mr. Rivers explained the assignment and said that it was more about the whole group coming up with 15 rather than splitting the work up evenly. The big emphasis was to make sure each group ended up with 15 total. Everyone in the whole class worked diligently until the bell and today class was very successful.

          From what we learned and worked on in class today, I can say that team work was one of the greatest kills translatable to real life from today class. When working on something as a team it is important to communicate well with one an other and have a plan. We did this well in the group I was in and that is why we finished successfully. Similar to a sports team, if you go in the game with a plan and communicate well, you will win and get the job done perfectly. Overall, teamwork is relatable to today's lesson and when others work well together it benefits the team and you can successfully win or complete the objective.
