Reflection from doing this module (310MC)
I have very much enjoyed studying for this module. at first i thought i would struggle in coming up with ideas, because in a lot of previous work i have been in groups of 3 or more, and with all our brains coming together we would be able to discuss and develop ideas.
It took me a while to get into the way of working with ideas along with research and development, but i managed it. This module has given me a chance to really get into my own way of work, working with just myself on planning, creating and researching.
When it came to producing the artefacts i would spent a lot of time hovering over ideas that were just floating about, until i managed to come up with something strong, but from then on i found it easy and exciting to just let my ideas and creativity flow, and produce what i could in the time given. I really felt the need to show off any skills that i already had, and did so, but i also spent a lot of time thinking of things that i maybe haven’t spent a lot of time on before, such as new shots, being creative with composition of shots and editing, as well of trying to think of creating something that i wouldn’t normally do.
This module has also persuaded me to spend a lot more time thinking of ideas and researching for these. I feel that this is an area of work that i need to improve upon. i’ve realised that media production isnt just about grabbing a camera and filming something random, editing it a bit and then putting it on youtube. from now on i will be thinking a great deal about what im trying to show, what it means to me. i will be thinking about my target audience, and if what i produce will even make sense.
I’m looking forward to this module fading into 311MC, where i can really get down and produce some serious film.
