WELCOME TO MY FINAL WEB BLOG, IN THIS BLOG I HAVE TO EVALUATE MY WHOLE PERFORMANCE THROUGHOUT THE 2ND SEMESTER.
EVALUATE MEANS = TO JUDGE OR ASSESS THE QUALITY, MERIT, SIGNIFICANCE, WORTH IMPORTANCE OR VALUE OF SOMETHING.
ANALYZE MEANS= TO STUDY SOMETHING IN DETAIL TO DISCOVER MORE ABOUT IT OR EXAMINE CRITICALLY TO BRING/FIND OUT ITS ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS.
IN THIS EVALUATION I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO CRITICALLY EXAMINE MY OWN WORK AND STATE WHAT IS GOOD AND BAD ABOUT IT - COMMENTING ON EACH OF THE FOLLOWING:
* TEACHER/PEER FEEDBACK.
* INDIVIDUAL WORK.
* GROUP WORK.
* TECHNICAL QUALITY.
TEACHER / PEER FEEDBACK:
I FEEL I HAVE LEARNED ALOT FROM THIS UNIT, BUILDING ON THE FOUNDATION I HAD FROM LAST YEARS BTEC NATIONAL DIPLOMA IN MEDIA MOVING IMAGE. I HAVE GAINED A MORE IN DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROCESS'S & PRODUCTION'S WITHIN THE MEDIA INDUSTRY AND I HAVE A CLEARER IDEA OF MY FUTURE CAREER PATH.
SACHA IN PARTICULAR HAS ALOT OF INVALUABLE KNOWLEDGE WHICH IS VERY HELPFUL, AS HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT, AND HAS NO PROBLEM WITH EXPLAINING THINGS MORE THAN ONCE. FOR INSTANCE HOW TO SORT OUT MY SOUND LEVELS THAT WERE MESSED UP IN FILMING IN FINAL CUT. WHICH FOR ME IS USEFUL AS I HAVE A VERY BAD SHORT TERM MEMORY.
FROM THIS UNIT AND THE FEEDBACK I HAVE RECEIVED FROM KIM & SACHA , I NOW KNOW WHERE MY WEAKNESSES LIE. FOR INSTANCE IN SOUND, SACHA HAS SHOWN ME HOW TO IMPROVE UPON THESE SKILLS NEXT TIME.
(I.E. BY ASKING IF I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO SOMETHING & BY GETTING MORE PRACTICE IN WITH SOUND. )
I BELIEVE THAT ONE OF MY STRENGTHS IS ORGANIZATION. ALWAYS HANDING MY WORK IN ON TIME, SOMETIMES WITH TIME TO SPARE TO IMPROVE MY FINAL GRADE.
GROUP WORK:
I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED WORKING ON OUR GROUP PROJECT. I FEEL THAT SAM, ADAM, TOM AND MYSELF WORK REALLY WELL TOGETHER COMBINING OUR STRENGTHS TO MAKE A QUALITY PEIECE OF WORK. (I.E SAM DIRECTING & RESEARCHING, MYSELF PRODUCING & PRE-PRODUCTION, TOM SOUND & EDITING, ADAM CAMERA & LIGHTING.) I FEEL I LEARNT ALOT FORM MY LAST GROUP PROJECT WITH KEELY & SIMON & I FEEL IT SHOWS IN THIS PROJECT I.E. I AM A LOT MORE VOCAL & ALWAYS HAVE MY SAY. I FEEL THROUGH DOING OUR GROUP DRAMA THAT ALL OF US HAVE HAD THE CHANCE TO SHINE & SHOW OUR TRUE ABILITIES TO THE FULL.
TECHNICAL SKILLS.
I FEEL I HAVE LEARNED ALOT THIS SEMESTER BY TRIAL AND ERROR,WHICH IN SOME RESPECTS I FEEL HAS DONE ME GOOD, AS IT HAS GIVEN ME THE CONFIDENCE TO BELIEVE IN ME. BUT IN OTHER RESPECTS I FEEL IT HAS HINDERED ME SLIGHTLY. IN PARTICULAR I FEEL BEING LEFT ALONE TO EDIT HAS HELPED ME GREATLY AS I HAVE LEARNT HANDS ON HOW TO MANIPULATE THE FINAL CUT SOFT WARE, & DOING THIS I KNOW WILL CEMENT THE PROCESS IN MY MIND FOR LIFE.
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND I FEEL I NEED ALOT MORE GUIDEANCE WITH FILMING, AS UP UNTIL NOW I HAVE NEVER REALLY PROPERLLY FILMED ANYTHING BEFORE, I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT SOUND OR LIGHTING OR CAMERAS & I FEEL THIS SHOWS IN MY INDIVIDUALLY FILMED DOCUMENTRY.
CONCERNS FOR NEXT SEMESTER.
I WOULD SAY ONE OF MY MAIN CONCERNS FOR NEXT SEMESTER, ALTHOUGH I AM QUITE WELL EQUIPPED WITH MY OWN MAC LAPTOP, FINAL CUT PRO SOFTWARE, 250 GIG EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE, N BOX & PRO TOOLS. IT IS THE FACT THAT THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ENOUGH HARDWARE TO GO AROUND. WHICH I FEEL HAS IMPACTED UPON ALL OF US SEVERELY THIS SEMESTER, & MAY STILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT UPON OUR LEARNING OUTCOMES NEXT SEMESTER.
THANK YOU FOR READING MY WEB BLOG!!!
