Intro:
It felt like just last week my instructor was telling me about this big project that was a huge part of our grades. I remember thinking: "I don't have to worry about that, its due date is weeks away." 8 weeks and 30+ blog posts later, here we are. For todays blog post, one of my last few, I will be discussing my final thoughts surrounding the project. This includes what I learned, what was difficult, what I found the most fun, etc. That being said, overall, I would say I really enjoyed doing this project and using skills I would not normally use in my day to day life. I got to take pride in my work, engage in my work, and was proud with how it turned out.
Thoughts:
What I learned - Over the course of the entire project, I had become much more efficient in using both hardware and software to create the desired product I wanted. This included hard ware like camera mounts to create shots a human hand would not be able to, as well as software like Clipchamp to edit and compile my clips. I also learned how to effectively research and utilize my research in any desired field. This was important when I was learning about genre conventions and how to attract my audiences.
What was difficult - Honestly, the most difficult components of this project turned out to be time management, which was not really surprising. Posting blog posts regularly was one of the hardest things to adjust to because I usually do not document my progress on stuff like these. So that was a good skill to be exposed to, however, I do not know if I would continue blogging post project.
What I enjoyed - I enjoyed working with my peers to try and create are best looking final product since it was one of the only academic challenges available to us. The project was one of the most engaging assignments of the year that made us get hands on with all our resources and engage us in home learning. The process of filming was especially fun because it was something we never usually did.
