We had a self-portrait video festival in week 5’s workshop. It was fascinating to watch all of these self-portrait videos at once. By the time we finished watching all of them I found everyone had a huge improvement from the previous rough cuts. I’ve seen some of their practice pieces and rough cuts. The improvement of some of the videos was fabulous. We all managed to improve old skills by using it more often and develop its fluency. I also improved my video a lot by trying out new things and ideas. It is really important to get better at the things you already know how to do. That’s how we set our goals higher and higher. It’s also really important to learn new skills to make our upper limit higher.

This week we started learning how to do interviews, it is important to know how to ask the question to get as much information as possible and focus on the interviewee instead the interviewer (myself). The practice piece I did looks really amateur, so that’s something I will have to work on in the future. Like I said, it’s important to improve old skills and learn new skills. I wish by the time I finish project brief 3, my interview skills would be more professional and the video too.
