This class I think I was definitely a reflective learner (see below), as I really considered what we did well and what we could have improved on. Our group assessed the ways that we used to create effects, such as playing with the white balance for the different types of surprise (sad and melancholy vs. angry and shocked). We really took into consideration the other ways in which these effects were achieved (such as tinting the color while editing) and compared them. I think overall our chosen effects for the specific themes were very appropriate. However, we definitely could have made our documentary piece have a more 'gritty' feel, which I will have to learn how to do from Adrian Wan, as his group's piece was excellently done. I also think that we should have spent more time on the sound portion of the project, as ours was, although quite funny, not very clear and should have been thought about a little more.
It was really interesting to see how everyone else's work turned out, and to see how everyone coped with such a small time-frame - some not so well! I was glad to see that not everyone knew how to do certain things on the camera (such as alter the 'grittiness'), so I am not alone! This lesson was very useful though, as not only was it fun, but it also reminded me that I have a lot of camera skills and editing skills that I need to catch up on!
Reflective Learners: Give thoughtful consideration to their own learning and experience. They are able to assess and understand their strengths and limitations in order to support their learning and personal development.
