Reflection on the Post-Production of my Podcast

2 Projects Down, 2 to Go

This blog is going to be focusing on what happened during the post-production week, in a reflection sort of way.

1. This week was up and down for me, I had a lot going on which made the project tough, but there were many successes this week. The first success was that I got it done (please laugh here). No but in all seriousness I think I worked really efficiently this week. I wrote out a rough draft that flowed very well, and was able to time manage very well. Although it was lengthy, I think I performed pretty well this week. I thought that the recording of the podcast went very smoothly. I didn't mess up too many times so it made the process much easier than what it potentially could have been.

2. Oh the challenges of this week sucked to be brutally honest. To say the least, Windows Movie Maker kicked my ass. I could not get the program to do what I wanted, and it was super uncooperative. After a few swear words I finally got everything put together just the way I wanted it to be. Another challenge that I kind of already mentioned was the time crunch of this week. I had two major tests this week that took up all of my time, and a project that was due for one of my classes. To say the least, I had little time to work on this project. Would I have liked more time? Yeah, but in the end I got it done and I enjoyed my finished product.

3. I'm looking forward to next week's project because it's a fresh start and because now it's the new schedule for the entire project. I really enjoyed the new ways of blogging, they seem way more meaningful and worth the time and effort compared to the style of blogging we were doing before. So I'm pretty excited to move onto next week. One thing I'm not excited for is the fact that my next project is going to be my standard college essay, which is the project that I'm least looking forward to. It just sounds so plain and dull compared to the other genres, but we'll try and make the most of it.

4. I feel great about the project considering that I have it complete and submitted to D2L. I feel that I gave it my best shot considering this week's circumstances, which in the end is all you can really do. I really tried to focus on the form of the project this week, so hopefully I get a better score on that compared to the form of my QRG. I feel like the podcast's form policies are tough to do though, especially with the sound effects not making it sound weird. Only time will tell how well made my project was!
