How am I hangin'?
This blog will discuss where I'm at in the project currently, and what shape I'm in for the post-production.
The Questions
1. The successes of this week were the fact that I got the rough cut done (laugh here). I'll be honest it was a very long week and I had little time to work on my project. With spring break coming up, I planned on doing a little bit of editing over break to solidify the rough cut and make it better before I get any peer suggestions. So in the end, I think the successes were limited, but I definitely made some progress which is all I could ask for.
2. The challenges this week were adjusting to the genre and my time constraints. I've never really talked in front of a microphone, so adjusting to that genre was kind of tough (but it was exciting). It takes a little stepping out of the comfort zone to do this genre, rather than just typing away about a story. Another major challenge was my time constraints as mentioned before. Along with other homework, I rushed a fraternity this week which took up a huge chunk of my time. In the end I didn't get to spend a ton of time on my project this week, but I will make up for it over spring break.
3. I think next week will go well since I am going to use spring break as a deeper editing period for the project. I think as long as I grind out the hard work I shouldn't have any problems with the project when we come back. I just need to pull through this week and keep grinding out the project. Also, another thing I want to focus on this week is the conventions of the podcast. To do this I'm going to listen to more examples and try to emulate the strengths of the podcasts.
4. I'm feeling okay about this project right now, like I said I have a lot of editing and details to hammer out but it's coming along. I think the reason for me not being worried is because I have all of spring break to work on the project. With an entire extra week, putting the icing on the cake for this project shouldn't be tough at all. The only thing to worry about is that the week back I am bombarded with tests so that could pose an issue and leave a lot of work for the weekend. All in all, everything is moving along!
