Blog Post 14.5, Production Report 2

Excerpt from my first body section, Project 1:

Conscious: Overall, Joshua, how do you feel Project 1 went for you?

Me: Well, Conscious, it probably could have gone a lot better than it did. I chose to do a Video Essay; a genre which, admittedly, I didn't have a lot of experience doing. Most of the video was still imagery and my voice over it trying to explain the controversy of where Earth's water may have come from. So it was not exactly a thrilling topic or presentation for the audience.

Conscious: Well, Joshua, I'm certainly sorry to hear about that. Do you think there is anything you did particularly well with this project, however?

Me: Yes, I used a lot of sources for both my images and the information that was presented. This thorough research would help me out greatly in the projects later on in the semester. Overall, although Project 1 was mostly a disappointment for me, that was mostly the expectation heading into the process. I didn't have a very good grasp of Video Essay or the conventions that went along with it. So, in hindsight, an 83 doesn't really seem that bad to me.
