Well done on completing your script, adding great music to your slideshow and completing your blog posts. I don’t remember you using different camera angles in your filming? It’s great that you ask what to do when you are unsure, but I think that you need to listen better in class so that you do not have to ask the teacher 3-4 times per period what it is that you need to do next. Keep choosing responsible classmates to work with.
