Over the past 5 weeks a lot of strategies were used in order for me to have a good outcome on my project and also learn for the future. Over the 5 weeks I applied a lot of independent learning to what I was doing because I realised that if in order to do well in the media industry it is not good to rely too much on others people knowledge, doing this also helped me discover more how to use the program and I was also able to translate my ideas in my editing. The target that I managed to complete successfully in the class was the target set on 16th/09/11 and that was to ‘identify key purposes of blogging and create our own blogs’, the reason why i managed to easily complete this target is because overall I’m a very practical person and since the target was practical I really enjoyed it.
Looking at the learning logs I’ve realised that although I’m a very practical person i always leave things incomplete and rely on doing it in my spare time, because of this a lot of targets were delayed and rushed, on the other hand i realised that i applied a lot of creative thinking in what I was doing , this is really important because in the media industry you need to ne unique and very creative in order to stand out. In most of the targets that involved editing i found it really hard to use ICT, since this is my first confrontation with this editing program i struggled to understand how things worked but later on after using my listening skills I managed to learn the basics .what made this project quite simple and easy to do was that i was willing to learn and also find out new things.
I’ve learnt that although I’m a person that is willing to learn at all times, when i start to struggle if i do not get support i start to become lazy and wait until I get help, at times i try to do things myself but i get scared i may ruin my work for example in the editing stages, in the past i have never worked with video formats such as MOV because I’m not always around Mac computers, so I found it extremely difficult to import media files. One of the things that really let me down as a student is my concentration, because I’m such a co-operate and talkative person I may sometimes start conversations at unnecessary times leading me to not being fully concentrated on my work and because of this the outcome of my work may sometimes not be as good as it could be. At the moment i like the way everything is planned out for example my timetable because it gives me time to do other things than media , for example i also act and so I have to attend training and also have social time and study in my own time.
Throughout this project there are loads of key skills that i will be taking on for example being independent because in this world it’s every man for themselves so if I’m certain with what I’m doing then it’s all good .Improving my concentration is also a must because if not then I will miss out on all the important things and it will prevent me from being more of an affective learner. Being creative comes natural to me , i like to think out of the box so if i keep on using this skill in everything i do then i’m sure i will achieve the best of my ability.
