It was the second day that I managed to work on my CT video. As usually there is no video without some content or information passed on therefore this is exactly what I did. However I didn't have to do much as most of this was already in my investigate stage research therefore I took a notebook and summarized what I needed from my research for the video. I also did further research on things such as fun facts which I will need at the end of my video. Todays challenges were that there were a lot of distractions in class and in addition it was difficult to pick out some key points from my research as I am very bad at doing so e.g when I was highlighting key things, I would usually highlight the whole passage not baring in mind that my video will not have a lot of information or it would become boring. Therefore, I overcame this by seeking the help of my colleague, Yavan and urged him to read through my work and told him to tell me what are the necessary things that should go in my video. This helped me synthesize my work. What I really liked about today, was that before todays lesson I was blank and more or less confused on what I will add to my video to support the video clips therefore after today I was confident about my work and had well structured my information so that when I am applying it on my clip, it is just a click away. To conclude, what I have to improve on is my time-management skills as I realised that the exams are coming next week therefore I have to rush up on some tasks to cover up on what I will miss during exams e.g Rehearse on the video. So next time, I will work on planning on each scene and getting my crew for the rest of the video!
