The second project we had this year was our video essay/PowerPoint. We had to make a PowerPoint similar to the one we made when we got an interview for the first time. We had to have a title screen with our name and picture. That was the first slide of the powerpoint. The second slide was our contact info, interests, and achivements. Third slide is what I have to offer. That means like what we can do, that can help the program. Fourth slide is, my idea for a new program. If we could make a new program/club, we would have to be an advisor of it, and we would have to be in that program. So we had to choose wisely. Then the last slide had our video essay. The whole PowerPoint had to have a theme. My theme was the beach because I always go to the beach so I thought it would be a perfect theme to represent me.
The slides were shells and sand, somewhat like the beach so yeah.
Some highlights were that I did my video on advanced. So when it came to video essay check, I was the only one in my group with the video done so I got to show Mr. Ing and get an A. I felt pretty good that I did it in advance and when I could because it really payed off. Lowlight was that I couldn't find out how to make my video play automatically. But I got it anyways!. Another lowlight was that my group did all of theirs last minute, the day before it was due. Tiana did it at 5:00 in the morning of the day it was due. I was disappointed in them when they didn't get full credit for the video essay check. On the bright side, they got it done anyways.
Lesson learned from this video essay was that if you have trouble doing something, ask in advance so you won't have to worry later. If you wait till last minute to get it done and to ask, there's a chance that the final piece won't be of quality. It's always based on GLO 4 most of the time. Quality producer. There's never a time where my work isn't of quality, it's only when it's not counted as a grade, it's a draft, or if I'm in a rush and it's just the first try. So always do things in advanced to make your work of quality and great.
If I could change one thing about this project, it would be to have something that would say what we had to talk about, or what we could talk abou in our video essay. I had a hard time thinking of what I was gonna talk about. So I had to improvise and talk about random things. It was hard to do something without a checklist or something. OMG it's called instructions. So it's hard to do something without instructions or directions. It's always easier to know what to do than to improvise. I hate improvising, I'm really bad at it(x
