This week, in Inquiry, we watched everyone's first drafts of our final video projects.
Our video projects are supposed to be about problems that typical college students face and how to rise above them. I chose to do my video blog on the topic of stress in college students. My first draft that I showed to the class only had the first half which involved the factors which cause stress in college and the symptoms that those under a lot of stress can experience.
I really wanted to make my video humorous because who wants to watch a video that just lists facts about stress? You can get that information from Google by yourself. The general response that I received from my classmates was that my skit was funny yet informative (which is exactly what I wanted). I was worried that some parts of the video were too quiet, so I wanted some feedback about the possibility of adding music. The general consensus was that it was not necessary.
The class gave me the feedback I needed to confirm my thought that I am on point with the creativity aspect of this project. I feel that I am also on the right track as far as college level thinking goes as well. I did not receive many criticisms for my video. Some of the comments I read were related to things I am already in the process of adding. For example, I am adding a few more parts to my project including how to alleviate stress and the statistics of health issues that can arise from being overly stressed. Another element of college level thinking I plan on including is the on campus resources we have available to us at Southern. I am going to film in the fitness center and the health and wellness center on campus.
I also did not have any typos or glitches. My volume was good and my transitions worked pretty well. I would say that after I add those previously mentioned extra elements, my video project will be worthy of a good grade.
