Overview
For this project I chose to redo my physics of a sport video. I didn't do the same sport, but instead chose to improve in the area of using real life examples. For my physics of volleyball video my group chose to use already recorded videos and didn't take any new videos. This time, we went out and took videos the first day so that we could use our own videos and have more accurate numbers. This made the process flow more smoothly. We were able to get started right away and making our video and do calculations.

Reflection
This project really spoke to the engineering side of this class. It showed how you can put the scientific process into practice. Also, for this project we had less time so we had to stay more on task, but knowing what we were doing made it easier. We started out really well. We were able to go out and record the day we were given the assignment and didn't have to do any more recording from there. Also, we found all our calculations and started working on them right away. This made the project go a lot smoother. However, in the end, we still ran into time issues. Also we had problems getting the sound to go how we wanted it to. This is why one part of the song we chose to use plays over and over again. Personally, I feel like I was part of why the project didn't get done on time. I was often distracted in class by my phone, but I tried to stay on task.
