Reflection on Local Revision

The last reflection. I could cry. Project 3 was a real struggle guys.

What went right?

  • Once I got the hang of iMovie, I think I used it very well and more creatively than I thought I could. I'm actually surprised by how professional my video essay looks; I wasn't expecting it to look bad or anything but I feel like it actually looks really good. I was also happy that I only had to cut down on content, rather than add.
What were the challenges?
  • TIME. MANAGEMENT. My video ended up being 15 minutes (I know) so it took FOREVER. I still wanted to give it the same amount of attention and detail throughout the whole thing, so I think the biggest challenge was staying consistent. I also had to change my first section pretty radically, but it was more so the cutting down of information like I already mentioned.
How will next week go?
  • I can 100000% guarantee that I will be doing the blogs in a timely manner, and figuring out exactly what I'll be doing ahead of time. I can't have a repeat of project 3. I'm also going to be writing a standard essay, so I won't have to worry about learning new programs or conventions. This is going to save a lot of time. 
How am I feeling about the project?
  • Surprisingly good. I feel free now that it's complete and I actually like how it looks. This is probably the most confident I've felt in the final product, so I'm feeling hopeful about a good grade. 
The final is next! Freshman flew right by.
