Our film is of a baby bird (played by Miles Stanton) who doesn't know how to fly. His goal is to one day fly as high as a plane, so he has an idea on climbing the highest mountain he can find, and will jump off to see if he can fly like a plane. In the air he loses all control and spins out and lands with a thump. His first flight didn't go so well, but he still has hope in himself.
We chose this plot because we wanted something light-hearted and I had immediately thought of a bird learning how to fly, I didn't want to over think the film so that's why we decided to go with the first idea. This film is a great representative to show that when things don't go exactly how you first planned, things are still okay. There is always new things to learn, and ways to improve. Our Launch was a success. It more or less went straight up, and the recovery wasn't bad either. Although our parachute didn't come out right away, it was still in time to not break on the floor. My partners and I felt that we had to research what specifically to do so we didn't screw anything up, because I felt as if the teachers just said "go" to us and I know my group did not feel comfortable with such little direction. If we had to re-do it, I would say to get everything done right away so we don't have to stress about it the whole time. Also taking pictures as we go and immediately putting them up on the blog because we lost most of our pictures and now we don't have all the pictures up required because we had already launched. I am proud of my contribution to the rocket, but I also feel as though there is always something we all could have done more.
