Integrated Media Participation

What did you do well?

I comprehensively logged my progress throughout the semester and adhered to my weekly participation contract goals. I worked well in collaborating with my group, asked questions when unsure, utilised my technical and creative skills for the weekly sketch tasks, read each weekly reading, attended all lectures and took notes. I utilised the class and blog instructions introducing the new software. I used Korsakow well, adapted suggestions and participated in class discussion. I also watched a range of interactive documentaries to broaden my understanding of the medium.

What have you learnt to do better?

I have developed a deeper understanding of the purpose of the subject in helping to prepare me for the ever-evolving and challenging industry. I now know how to adapt to different forms of software to tell stories and therefore distance myself from the familiar and traditional film making structure and techniques. I understand the purpose of interactive documentary in the way the relations are more important than the content and the way the parts form a whole. I have also learnt how to utilise my blog including categories and linking to useful sources that will be useful later in the semester. I have slightly improved my formal critiquing and writing skills.

What could you have learnt to do better?

I would have benefited from relating the weekly readings to my own work and adapting those techniques into my work from an earlier stage. I also could have improved my interview techniques from an earlier stage as I required those for the group Korsakow film and this would have assisted in creating better quality content. I could have consistently utilised my blog in creating more detailed critiques of other works, as some weekly posts were too brief.
