Weekly Check In 5

This week, after I presented, I got a solid kick that made me want to do some more in Visions. I have kind of had some high and lows with my scheduling and several other thing, but Devon and I are making progress with the Video Race. We made the registration form for the video race and Devon made up some very good and funny questions for the personal section of the questionnaire. I finished grading the films this week as well and I found them to possibly the best ones we have graded so far. The animations, in particular, really impressed me. I, also, revised the bumper from last week and made several tweaks to make the movement crisper and the color is fuller. I, also, came up with a possible logo for the Video Race and placed an art request. Samantha responded and made several designs that were much better than what I was previously thinking. This week I intend to officially secure the location because I have been allowing that to fall to the side which is not okay. I, also, helped out with the Valentine’s Day party this week and it was a lot of fun. I kind of bonded with more of the staff members, which is helping with trying to get more involved. I still think I am improving, but have ways to go with organizing, scheduling, involvement, etc.

This week I have tried to contact Pam Elliott one again in order to give us permission to actually shoot for the video race. She still has not responded to the email, yet so I just need to keep pushing because I want the location permit before February 21^st. I finished reading the essays and films for this week. I found a lot of the narratives to be rather boring but I was impressed with the documentaries. I place d a marketing request for the video race to be posted on the facebook by this coming Wednesday. I did the resume assignment for this week. I, also, began to work on making an actual resume to get a hard start for turning it in next week. Also, it is just good to have in general for when I want to apply for a job in the future. Devon and I reviewed for the presentation coming this Tuesday and just went over some key points we wish to discuss with the class. Finally, I created a bumper for this week. If the class responds positively to it, I kind want to see if I could maybe make a bumper for the video race. In general, I think I am making a step in the right direction when it comes to productivity in Visions. However, I still think I have a good bit to work on.

This week I managed to email Pam Elliott and Kimberley Howell a second time. They have yet to get back to me and if they don’t by Tuesday of this week, I am going to call their office in order to get direct contact with them. I, also, kept in constant contact with Devon this week in order to put together the presentation for this Tuesday. Devon is the one who put majority of the presentation together, I fed a few ideas off of her but she definitely put in majority of the work. I finished viewing the shorts this week and found them to be a tad bit disappointing. Compared to the ones that we had seen last week, they all were either too long or did looked like no effort was put into them. I feel like this week I keep falling behind. I started to get back on track the other night, but I feel like I am not putting in nearly enough effort if I want to stay on track for Visions as well as my other classes. The one thing I am managing to stay on track with is getting a location for the video race, but as far as everything I feel I need to improve drastically on.
