What was your group’s initial vision for the film, and how did this evolve through the different stages of the production cycle (pre-production, shooting, and editing)? Did any of the prior class exercises/projects inform your group’s approach to the final?
How did cinematography, sound, or editing contribute to the storytelling of your final project? Describe at least one specific concept or technique from class (lecture, section, or readings) that your group applied in the film, and how it helps to shape the way your audience interprets or experiences the story.
What was the most challenging aspect of this project, and how did your group address it? What do you find most successful about the finished film? What do you feel could be improved, either technically or conceptually?
What did you learn about yourself as a film or media maker this quarter, or about the filmmaking process as a whole? Has the experience of producing work for this class impacted your approach to future creative endeavors? Feel free to include any additional reflections about your experience in the course.
Please include a brief summary of your duties and responsibilities on the final project, and describe your contributions across the production process (e.g. pre-production & pitch preparation, production, editing, etc). What was your experience of working in collaboration with your colleagues? Do you feel that your group succeeded in sharing the responsibilities of the project equitably?

Subtropical Gyres
Background Information
While the basic principles that lead to the formation of subtropical gyres applies to the circulation seen in each of the 5 Subtropical Gyres, there are differences that can still be seen in each of the major oceans.
Directions
Create a document that addresses the following prompt. For this assignment, you will be doing some writing and some drawing. Complete the two questions below:
Using the image provided below, complete the following:
Label the Northern, Western, Eastern and Southern Boundary current for each major subtropical gyre. You do not need to label the subpolar gyres.
Color (or label) whether each of the currents are warm currents or cold currents.
If you color them, red=warm and blue=cold

Part (a) The Comanches were one of the most brutal and feared tribes in North America. They controlled a territory called Comancheria that encompassed parts of present-day New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. One of your sources states that the Comanches were the reason the Spanish did not go further north and why the East Coast and West Coast were settled before the Great Plains. After reviewing the assigned sources, answer the following questions:
Why were the Comanches so feared? How did they control so much territory? Why were they so hard to defeat? How did Quanah Parker become the last chief of the Comanche and what was the importance of his role as chief? How has legacy continued in Texas history?

Describe the following in your response:What was the outcome you were working towards?Why was this outcome important to you, others, and/or the organization you were a part of?What were the steps you took to accomplish this and what was the outcome?
 

Mortgage Analysis
Part I
(10 points) Type your name in the title and fill in the terms for each scenario in sheet 1 and 2. Cells- A6:D6
 (10 points)Calculate the monthly payment using the equation for both terms. Cell- E6
 (10 points)Use the built in PMT function in Excel to verify the payment is correct. Cell- F6
 (40 points)Create Amortization tables for both sheets. Cells- A11:E11 (and down for the length of the mortgage)
Part II
 (10 points)In the Investment column calculate the amount of money that will be invested each month for both sheets. Remember once the house is paid off the full $2000 will be invested. Cells- G11:down for 40 years
6.  (40 points)In the Accumulation column calculate the balance of the investment each month assuming it grew at an interest rate of 12% per year (Cell- G6) over 40 years for both sheets. Cells- H11:down for 40 years
(20 points)Use the built in FV function of Excel to verify the total amount accumulated in both sheets. Remember at some point the investment amount changes; therefore, you will need to use the FV function more than once. Final Answer: Cell- H6
Part III
(10 points) Calculate the property taxes for the first ten years assuming they are $2000 for year 1 and rise by 3% each year. Cells- L6:L15
(10 points) Calculate the total interest paid each year for the first ten years of the loan. Remember the Amortization Schedule is in months and we are constructing this table in years. Cells- M6:M15
(10 points) The Tax Deduction is the sum of the interest paid for the year and the property tax. Calculate the tax deduction for the first ten years. Cells- N6:N15
(10 points) We will call the last column Tax Benefit. To simplify calculations let’s assume the couple are in the 25% tax bracket, so the tax deduction will lower their taxes due by approximately 25% of the deduction. However, a person who doesn’t own a house doesn’t pay the property taxes. So, this column will be the difference between the tax savings (25% of the deduction) and the property tax. Cells- O6:O15
Part IV
(20 points) Write a reflection. Share some of your findings. What did you find interesting? Anything shocking? Are you left with any “what if” questions?
Note: If each calculation is built upon functions calling on cells you should be able to adjust any of the terms to see what happens if you change anything. Cell- K18
