Reflection on Progress Again

Seeing as it's been a while since my last reflection on progress, I figured it was time to do an updated one. Also I got caught up in filming and forgot about the blogging checklist so I'm just making sure I've done all the items on it.

As you can see in my last one, my targets were:
So young.










I think I have addressed each one and my blogging has improved overall as a result. For example, my first target was to use more ICT formats than just GIFs and embedding Youtube clips of existing music videos. I have addressed this by incorporating many more formats such as:

  • Creating and editing my own video diaries and uploading them on Vimeo (here),
  • Myself and my groups life changing discovery of GoAnimate (here), 
  • Online Photo Sharers (here), 
  • A different online slideshow sharer to SlideShare called AuthorStream which allows you to retain all your original media in the slideshow (here)
  • Etc.
I have also addressed my second target of doing more posts that aren't on the blogging checklist such as my posts on the colours of music videos, or the narrative in our music video for example. Most of them actually, I found the production side easier to blog more freely about.

The third target isn't relevant yet as the blogging deadline isn't for a while  so only time will tell, but generally I think I've got the hang of blogging a bit more now than I did then.

My next two targets are:

  1. To blog more regularly, not all in one day. I often get an idea for a blog and then put it off until I either forget or end up doing a lot on one night which can be tiring. So I think I need to do it in moderation but more frequently.
  2. To blog more about the editing process. I usually get so focused on the editing I forget to take any pictures or screen shots and then can't really blog about it.
I don't know what updated mark I would give myself, I would hope it would be an improvement on what I got on the last reflection.
