As week 4 was approaching to an end, so was the time to hand in my work.  Throughout the week I have been trying to record and capture as much as I could so I had more content to work with. The more that I had in my hands the more flexible it was for me to do my assignment and produce higher quality content. Furthermore I made a greater effort to show my friends and family of the work I have done so far to find out what I can improve and make my video and blogs better.

All the initiatives that I have taken throughout the week are all ideas explored form day 1. Brian the lecturer as really emphasised on the blog and how powerful it is as a reflective tool. These blogs have allowed me to collect my thoughts and brainstorm new ideas on how I could improve myself as a creator. I cannot just sit there and let the work come to me, I have to do the work myself and the opportunities will come. During the start of the course I dissed the blog, now I am slowly coming to terms with it and enjoying a little bit more.

During my talk with Jeremy about my video, he has given me a lot of good constructive criticism. The points that he made about how literal my video was really forced me to think outside the box. I thought to myself:

“how can I make this more engaging to the audience?”

I got my head down and started thinking of new ideas. I ended up ditching the recycled cut and taking out a lot of text. This time the video will be hinting at the audience, leaving them to interpret the themes inside the video.
