REFLECTION FOR VIDEO PRODUCTION 201103


FEE1323 ENGLISH III
REFLECTION FOR VIDEO PRODUCTION
After weeks of hard work, finally it is done! Hats off and a round of applause to each and every one of you for producing wonderful and meaningful videos for this semester. After experiencing such a major production, I’m sure you have a lot of feelings (be it excitement, frustration or even anger) to share. This is a chance for you to do so and the following are the guidelines for you to reflect on the video production journey.

Before the production:-
1. What was your reaction towards the video assignment when you were first told about it? Did you like the idea that you get to do an assignment which is different from last semester? Or were you afraid that you might not be able to manage the assignment?
2. When did you and your group members sit down to discuss about the concept for your video? Was it straight after your lecturer assigned the task or did each of you did some research first before you put down your ideas on paper?
3. Did disagreements happen during discussions on the video? How did you and your group members come to agree to the final concept for your video?
4. What do you particularly liked about the concept of your video? (No more than 50 words)

During the video shooting:-
1. How many days/weeks did you spend to complete the shooting of the video? Describe how the shooting was done so quickly if it was completed within a week. Explain the reasons why it you took more than a week to shoot the video.
2. Was the video shooting session smooth? What were the challenges you faced in terms of setting/location, time, props, costumes etc?
3. How did your director manage the challenges? Did all of the group members obey the director’s instructions or did everyone contribute their ideas in getting the perfect shot? In short, was teamwork practiced in your group? (Describe in detail)


During the editing process:-
1. Did you take part in editing the video or was the task solely handled by a tech whiz in your group? Justify your answers.
2. Were there any challenges in dealing with technology (Window Movie Maker or other video-editing software)? Which was/were the most frustrating part(s) in editing your video (e.g. sound, merging scenes etc)?

After all the hard work:-
1. Did your video turn out to be like what you have expected? Were you satisfied with your video or did you feel that it could have been better?
2. Did you enjoy yourself during the video production? Was it relevant to what you study? What have you learn from this assignment (language, confidence, teamwork, computer skills etc)?
3. Do you think this video assignment should be introduced to your juniors? Suggest some ways that could bring improvement to this video assignment.

2012

A new year, a new start... Though I might be a little late to say this because it's already the end of April 2012. Two more months and 2012 is halfway to its end.

Now my statement there might sound a little depressing but that's just life...We don't have fairytale in reality and time waits for no man. If you want your happily ever after, you've got to seize the moment, grab the opportunity and charge towards the ultimate goals you've set for this year.

I've set my own too. I plan to graduate from my Masters early next year so this year is going to be hard work and MORE hard work! I'm pretty sure all of you are facing the same pressure too! But let's not worry because I believe you will get to taste the fruit of your hard work by the end of the day and it's going to be so sweet that you get sick and tired of it :p (nah~ just kidding!)

Anyhow, I wish all the best to you all- my angels, my driving force, my reason to stay in the teaching profession :)

Hugs and Kisses
