YouTube/ Low-bridge videos

Sorry this is late, I somehow missed that we had a blog post due last week. Anyway, I'm going to start by saying that I don't think comparing writing to video-making is at all unreasonable.  If you are thinking about it in the literal sense, movies are not really writing.  They can feature writing, and they start as writing, but the actual movie isn't writing, it's acting.  

The script is the biggest piece of writing involved in movie-making, because the whole movie really starts on paper.  Without the script, there would be nothing to say (unless it was improv), so there would be no movie at all.   

The movie-making process itself went really well.  I was not involved in writing the script, but I was in charge of filming.  I saw firsthand how small changes in the script can change the movie entirely, for better or worse.  It took a bit of trial and error, but we got to a point where we all agreed on it.  Now I'm just looking ahead to when the paper is due- writing in the most conventional sense!
